8 Fantastic Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Him

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, which means it's time to start looking for that perfect gift for your boyfriend. Sometimes, the best gifts are the most obvious ones. For example, you can never go wrong with chocolates and flowers because men deserve (and want) to be pampered too. 

However, you may want to switch it up this Valentine's Day if you've done chocolates and flowers last time. Still, your boyfriend will love anything chosen with love and care, like these Valentine's Day gift ideas. 

Artisanal Chocolates

Of course, if your man has an incurable sweet tooth, chocolates will always be a welcome gift. This time, why not give him a box of fancy artisanal chocolates? Artisanal chocolates are fresh and carefully crafted chocolates made using high-quality ingredients. The flavors of these chocolates are usually incredibly intense and full of complexity. They're perfect for the self-proclaimed connoisseur who lives and breathes chocolates. Get a sampler box of artisanal chocolates for your guy so that he can indulge in a wide array of top-grade chocolates; one of the perfect Valentine's Day gift ideas.

Fitness Tracker

Does your boyfriend like to stay healthy but always forgets when his next workout is? If so, a fitness tracker will be perfect for him. Fitness trackers are great because they allow him to track his steps and activity levels all day. A fitness tracker lets him know whether he's been sitting too long or if he's getting enough exercise on a daily basis. Some of these trackers even keep track of sleep patterns. He'll love being able to see at a glance how active he has been during the day; truly one of the interesting Valentine's Day gift ideas.

Daily Sunscreen

It's easy to forget about sunscreen, but that's not good. UV rays from the sun are incredibly harmful to the skin. They can cause sunburn, early skin aging, and skin cancer, among others. Daily sunscreen helps prevent damage and aging. Get your guy a daily sunscreen with SPF protection of 30 or higher, especially if he's the outdoorsy type. He'll love knowing that he has extra protection from harmful UV rays during the day.

Hip Flask

Make sure your boyfriend is constantly hydrated by giving him a funky hip flask; one of the fabulous Valentine's Day gift ideas. A hip flask is a small metal bottle that holds a few ounces of liquid. It's the perfect size for on-the-go drinking. If he likes to enjoy a couple of drinks with his friends, he'll love the idea of keeping one of these handy in his pocket all day. Get his name or initials engraved on the hip flask to add a personal touch!

Beer Koozie

Get your guy a beer koozie, so he looks fashionable and cool when he's enjoying his favorite drink. A beer koozie keeps his beverage cold and his hands warm. This simple gift will be incredibly useful in the upcoming months, especially during spring and summer. Consider getting him a set of beer koozies in different colors for more options and for backup. 

Tickets to a Sporting Event

If your boyfriend loves sports, give him tickets to a sporting event that he's always wanted to see. Many professional and college sports teams will sell these last-minute tickets online around this time. You can find great deals on tickets online and buy them for your boyfriend as a Valentine's Day gift. Some of these ticket deals are so great that you can pick up two tickets for the price of one.

Flintlock Pistol Replica

If your boyfriend enjoys historical shows, battle re-enhancements, and live-action role-playing (LARP) games, he'll geek out over a flintlock pistol replica gift. Replicas are typically made of metal, wood, and resin and are carefully crafted to look like the real thing. History buffs and geeks will love owning one (or two) of these replicas because they enjoy collecting items from the past. The premium replicas are incredibly accurate and look precisely like antique models, making them perfect as props or collectibles. 

Bluetooth Speaker

A Bluetooth speaker is the perfect gift for a boyfriend who loves music; one of the popular Valentine's Day gift ideas. A Bluetooth speaker will allow him to listen to his favorite music full blast without turning himself deaf. Many of these compact speakers have excellent battery life and are easy to use. Some even have microphones for answering calls and giving voice commands. Most music lovers probably have one or two Bluetooth speakers, but you can always give him a new, better speaker to upgrade his old one. Otherwise, a good pair of headphones is always a great alternative. 

Final Thoughts

Chances are, your boyfriend will love whatever you picked out for him this Valentine's Day, but putting extra time and effort into choosing his gift will show how much you love and care for him. Gifts don't have to be expensive to be great, but they should always be made or chosen with your loved one in mind.
