How to Find the Perfect Valentine's Gift for Men
- 1). Think outside the box. It is definitely fine to give your man his favorite candy on Valentine's Day, but this isn't really an original idea. Instead, think about some of the things that he really likes to do or items he really loves. Ask him if you're not sure. For example, if he loves basketball, get him a couple of tickets to an NBA game if your city has a team. Or if he loves wine, give him a bottle that has significance for the two of you, perhaps a wine from an area you visited together or a wine bottled the year that you met or were were married.
- 2). Consider planning a getaway for you and your beau to a place that you know he wants to visit or that he loves going to. This can be especially thoughtful for a guy who is stressed out by work or something going on in his life. A getaway with his special someone can give him the opportunity to clear his head, bond with his babe and enjoy the atmosphere. Those on a budget can take advantage of this idea, as well, according to stylefinder.com. Rather than spend big bucks on a getaway, the website suggests a one-night stay at a romantic hotel in your city.
- 3). If you're on a budget, think about ways you can do something for that special guy without breaking the bank. For example, make him his favorite meal, enjoy a romantic, candlelit dinner at home and surprise him with a batch of his favorite cookies. Or if you live near a beach and the weather's warm enough, give him a gift bag with a bottle of sparkling wine, strawberries and masculine-looking candles. Then take him out that night for a romantic evening on the beach.
- 4). Shop around. When you're totally stumped, stroll through your local mall. If you have an idea of the things that he likes, you could run into something that would make a great, unique gift that you hadn't thought of before. Men's stores in the mall are a good place to start, but don't forget to check out the men's sections of department stores. Around Valentine's Day, these stores will have displays of small tokens for the holiday.
