14 Valentine’s Gift Ideas for Men

I don’t know about you, but I always have a hard time shopping for men.  Even for my husband, who I know very well, I struggle to find a great gift. (Thankfully, we aren’t big on gifts, so that lowers the bar tremendously!) But in case you have the same problem I do, I thought you could benefit from a list of tried and true gifts for men. With Valentine’s Day coming up, you might be able to put this list to good use.

14 Valentine’s Gift Ideas for Men

1. Gift Card to Favorite Restaurant

I know gift cards can seem impersonal, but they really are practical. A couple of ideas for good restaurants a man may enjoy are: Texas Road House, Buffalo Wild Wings, Subway, or Red Robin. These are especially great for anyone in college!

2. ENO Double Nest Hammock

Does he like the outdoors? Take him on a camping adventure and use this double nest hammock. You could plan it for the summer or if you live in a warm climate, go this weekend! You could also put together a couple of other camping items, such as a Leatherman Wave Knife, Coleman tripod grill or a pie iron. The pie iron is great for grilled cheese, pizzas, and pies!

3. iCarrier by Trent External Battery Charger

This gadget has been a life-saver for both my husband and me. It allows you to charge your phone or iPad multiple times without having to plug into a wall plug. (For my husband’s point of view, check out his review on his blog.)

4. Coffee Thermos

If your man is a coffee lover and always on the run…this is a great gift! We both use a coffee mug/thermos to take our coffee with us on-the-go.

5. Gym Membership

If your family is seeking to get healthier this year, a gym membership might be some great motivation. Especially if they have a kid’s area, the whole family can go and enjoy working out together. Spring for a little extra and consider getting some personal training sessions to get him started on the right track.

6. Beats

Do you have a music loving husband/boyfriend/brother/dad? Beats are all the rage! (If you tend to work from home, these headphones also serve as good noise reducers!)

7. Grilling Gear

Grilling is like a rite of passage for most families–especially when an open flame’s involved 🙂 Give them a new gadget to use while grilling this spring.

8. Cooking Lessons

Whether he enjoys cooking, wants to learn, or prefers to be out of the kitchen, there are cooking classes for everyone to enjoy. This makes a unique date night. Invite some friends and make it a party.

9. Classic Shaving Kit

Gaining popularity, wet shaving allows for a smooth shave…think barber shop type shaving. If you like the clean shaven look, give wet shaving a try with this shaving kit.

valentines gift

10. Apple TV

We cut cable a long time ago, but having an Apple TV has been awesome for watching NetFlix, home videos, streaming music, and creating a media hub in our living room. You can also connect it to Hulu and movie channels as well!

11. Vitabath

This shower gel smells amazing. Fresh, clean, and aromatic, this smell will fill your whole bathroom and bedroom. I love when my husband uses this soap, and I’d highly recommend this as a gift.

valentines gift

12. Board Games

Risk, Dominion, and Settlers of Catan are great strategy games that you can play with a group of people. They tend to get highly competitive, which makes them that much more enticing. I like this option for a gift, because it allows you more opportunities for interaction and building community with those around you.

valentines gift

13. LeatherCraft Tool Carrier

If your husband is handy, and often uses his skills for helping friends, neighbors, and family, this tool carrier is perfect. It holds a large amount of tools while still being easily transportable to take to any location he needs it.

valentines gift

14. Tackle Box

If your guy finds any opportunity to be out on the water to fish, he might love a new tackle box.

What would you add to the list? Let me know in the comments below. Like I said at the beginning, I’m always in need a new ideas!

    My guy enjoys cooking for us, so I got him a rice cooker.

      Great idea! We love a rice cooker especially for when we make sushi!

      I love our rice cooker! We love using it when we make sushi together too!

    Great list! I love the idea of cooking lessons — a win-win! My husband loves anything to do with cars. So even a subscription to a car magazine would be a great gift for him.

    • http://www.lindseybridges.com Lindsey Bridges

      Thanks for that idea. magazine subscriptions are the gift that keeps on giving!

      Even if you guy isn’t a big cook, it’s still fun to have some projects together in the kitchen! Get a group of friends to go and it’s another level of fun!

    My husband would like the gift card for a restaurant, I would rather have the tackle box,.

    • http://www.lindseybridges.com/ Lindsey Bridges

      Yes, some of the gifts on the list can go both ways! 🙂 What’s your hubby’s favorite restaurant? Buffalo Wild Wings is one of my husband’s favorites.

    I would be happy with all of those – the hammock, shaving kit and tackle box are inspired choices. Stephen :o)

      I think the shaving kit is a fun one, if the guy you are shopping for likes a clean shave! And who doesn’t like a hammock!
