10 Thoughtful Valentine's Day Gifts for Him

By leah jones 

Valentine’s Day gifts can range from small gestures to show appreciation to large acts of kindness that express commitment.

It can be tricky to find the perfect gift for your man on this holiday that most usually do not make a wishlist for. However, you can find great gift ideas that aren’t just stereotypical “manly” items.  

Presents are often more about the gesture and intention behind them than the material object itself. Here are some ideas for thoughtful Valentine's Day gifts for him.

This may seem like an uncreative Valentine’s Day gift idea, but consider that men rarely receive flowers. Getting your man a bouquet can be a lovely surprise.

Flower Bouquet

Give your partner the gift of an experience for two rather than something physical. An opportunity to make memories can be an even better gift than anything you could buy from a store.

Bucket List Adventure

If you know your partner struggles with losing certain items like their keys or wallet, give them the gift of an Airtag or other bluetooth tracker that will make their life easier.

The most thoughtful thing you can do is put time and effort into a gift. Make your man a personalized photo album, key chain, playlist, jar of hand written notes or whatever else would make him smile.  

Personalized Keepsake

LEGO sets are fun for all ages; they can make for a relaxing night in with some wine, snacks and a movie. This gift is also great for when your partner may want some time to themselves to unwind.

Many acts may be gearing up for tours for 2025. Additionally, there should be plenty of local shows your partner may be interested in, so consider getting tickets for two.

Concert Tickets

Giving your partner a massage or booking a spa day is a romantic gesture, but a massage gun is the gift that keeps on giving. Consider the Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2 or the Thrabody Theragun Relief.

Spoil your man a nice cologne as someone who can attest to what smells complement him. You can never go wrong with classic scents like D&G Light Blue or Tom Ford Noir.

Fancy Cologne

Pick out a new board game the two of you have never played together, or snag a nostalgic childhood favorite you'll both enjoy!

Date Night Games

Another gift idea that is simple but thoughtful is gifting your partner quality replacements for their essentials they may not take the time to upgrade like a water bottle, wallet, watch strap, underwear and more.
