Why finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for him matters

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about celebrating love for our boyfriends, girlfriends, partners and spouses, but it often gets focused on how to show women they’re loved. Women should feel loved on Valentine’s Day, but the focus on delivering the perfect Valentine’s Day to wives and girlfriends might mean the man you’re shopping for has rarely or never received a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift. 

Finding a meaningful Valentine’s Day gift for a man can be challenging, but seeing the look on his face when you’ve found something that perfectly fits him… few things are more rewarding. 

Top 15 Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him

Practical gifts for everyday use

Some of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for men won’t seem extravagant or remarkable, they’re just good things he’ll use every day. There are few better ways to show a man you know him than giving him something he’ll want to use every day.

  • Replace his worn wallet with a new one, a unique Valentine’s Day gift personalized to him and with RFID blocking tech to keep his finances safe. 
  • Say “yes, chef” with a gift that makes him want to head straight to the kitchen, like a KitchenAid stand mixer or cookware.
  • Take the traveler to new places with luggage and a personalized luggage tag so he has no trouble finding his bags.
  • Give the gamer in your life an upgrade with some new gaming gear, like a Logitech Master Series mouse or keyboard.
  • Sometimes the key to a man’s heart is with a Valentine’s Day gift for man’s best friend. Give him extra time with Fido with a personalized leash or a Nerf tennis ball launcher.

Experiences and events

Valentine’s Day itself is often an experience, with dinner at the very least. If you know he has something planned for the holiday, an experience or event might make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for him. 

  • Tickets to see his favorite band show that you know him and want to give him a memorable experience (and you can find great seats on StubHub).
  • Cooking classes can be fun for a couple’s first or tenth Valentine’s Day. Groupon makes it easy to find a cooking class focused on his favorite cuisine so the two of you can learn how to make it at home.
  • Sports fans would love tickets to see their favorite team; MLB season usually starts up shortly after Valentine’s Day and the NBA’s season runs through April, making game tickets a great option for your favorite sports fan.
  • The perfect Valentine’s Gift for men who game might just be time to play, but you can snag him a subscription or the latest season pass for his favorite game.
  • If he loves to travel, book that weekend getaway for the two of you. With Rover, it’s easy to make sure any furry friends are taken care of while you’re on your adventure.

Unique Valentine’s Day gifts for him

Mementos of your time together or a significant event in his life are great Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him. You’ll need to put some thought into these kinds of unique gifts, but we can get you started.

  • Put together a custom photo book. You can always create one highlighting your relationship, but if he has any hobbies or any recent major life events, this can be the perfect way to commemorate. 
  • Think back to something he might have missed out on when he was younger and head to eBay to go hunting.
  • Build a gallery wall in the living or dining room with wrapped canvas art that adds a unique part of him to the room, or customize his office with art that makes it clearly his space.
  • Find sports memorabilia from his favorite team (a gifting perfect pair with tickets to a game).
  • Customize an NFL, NBA or MLB jersey in his name for his favorite team(s).
