Valentine’s Gift Ideas for Him

If you’re like me, you struggle with gift ideas for the men in your life. Whether that’s your husband, significant other, a teenage or adult son, father, or brother – they’re just so dang hard to buy for. I can think of a hundred things to get for my daughter for any occasion. But I literally spend hours researching, planning, comparing, and looking at blog posts and social media for ideas for the guys.

I’ve had times where I’ve knocked it out of the park, like the massage chair I bought my husband one year for Christmas. It was a splurge, but it’s heavenly and we use it nearly every day. So I feel like it was money well spent. I’ve had other times that I’ve fallen flat, like the workout gloves I got for my youngest son (I guess those are lame) or the Turkish, sand-free, quick-dry beach towel I got for my oldest son

So to help save you from falling flat with the men in your life this Valentine’s Day, I’m going to share some ideas I’ve found that are sure to be winners. Hopefully, this will save you some hours of researching and contemplating. And better yet, save you from the dreaded, forced, “Oh….thanks” response that you know will be followed by him stashing the gift in a drawer and finding its fate in a donation pile a year later.
