From stepped-up sweets to personalized mementos, take the stress out of Valentine’s Day shopping with these unique finds.
Eye Heart U Socks
Big gestures are nice, but you don’t have to go all out with your gift to show him some love; a simple token like these punny socks will definitely earn a smile. And, at the rate socks seem to disappear to the depths of the washing machine, everyone can always use a new pair.
The Very Many Varieties of Beer Pint Glass
If he’s not a hopeless romantic, opt for a gift that’s fun instead of sentimental. Beer enthusiasts will love this glass, which features a (delightfully nerdy) flow chart that breaks down his favorite beverage into categories and subcategories. It’s the perfect excuse to kick back with a brew.
Collar Stays
These stainless steel collar stays are perfect for the man who spends most of his day suited up in the office. Engrave them with your initials, a special message, or an anniversary date so that when he’s working late, he’ll have a subtle reminder that you love him—a lot.
Look at My Phone Card
If you’ve agreed to skip gifts this year, you’ll need more than a generic Valentine’s Day card. Emily McDowell has plenty of hilarious and relatable notes to choose from, but this one was just too honest not to showcase. Couples that scroll through their feeds together, stay together—right?
Custom Treats
Trade the box of chocolates for a 12-pack of this classic childhood treat. Available in fun flavors, like Chocolate Peanut Butter and Caramel Sea Salt, it’s easy to find something that suits his taste. You can even add a personal touch: Simply upload your favorite photo or a custom message and Treat House will print the graphic right onto each sweet.
“You’re the Spring in My Step” Book
Keep it lighthearted on Valentine’s Day with a tiny 160-page book (it’s about the size of your hand) that’s full of quirky you-complete-me phrases. From “You’re the Batman to my Robin” to “You’re the apple in my strudel,” this gift emphasizes the dynamic duo you are. Mark your favorites ahead of time so he knows which pages to turn to first.
‘Hi Handsome’ Pillow
This complimentary accent pillow goes with nearly any color scheme (not to mention it’s machine washable). Add it to your bed with the arrow pointing towards his side for a sweet surprise—and an ego boost!—at the beginning and end of each day.
Five Flavours of Scotch Tasting Flight
Give your favorite whiskey aficionado the experience of tasting multiple single malts from the comfort of his couch. This gift includes five small, 45 ml bottles of Scottish whisky and an easy-to-follow chart to help him demystify the flavor profiles (Light or rich? Smoky or delicate?) of each one.
Bronze Custom Map Key Ring
This custom bronze key ring can serve as a daily reminder of the exact spot you first met. (Bonus: If he’s always losing his keys, this gift will also keep him organized). You’ll even receive a proof from the company to make sure the map is perfectly centered on the right location.
Coffee Art Print
This bold print is great desk décor for his home office and, let’s be honest, it makes a pretty big statement if you’re addicted to coffee. If brown doesn’t complement his office space, you can customize the print with nearly any color combination of your choice.
