15 Valentines Day Gifts For Him He Actually Wants

Hey there!  Are you looking for some last minute Valentines Day gifts for him?

Great!  You’re in the right spot if you’re searching for gift ideas for that man in your life that is hard to buy for.

In fact, this list was created with those ‘hard to buy for’ guys in mind.

It’s no frills peek into some things that guys would actually like to receive, and I should also mention this list has been husband approved! ๐Ÿ˜‰

And on a hilarious side note…

One of the funniest things about gifts is that we usually GIVE the type of gifts that we like to RECEIVE.

This is why you see loads of frilly packaged Valentines gift ideas for men that he probably isn’t wild about (but has to pretend to like). ๐Ÿ™‚

Remember ladies, this isn’t for you, it’s for him! 

Think less about the packaging, and more about the practicality.

Let’s get to it!

Valentines Day Gifts For Him #1: Good Golf Balls

Valentines Gift Ideas for Him

If the man in your life likes to golf, these Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls balls are hands down the best. 

Most men lose a couple golf balls per round, so they need a good supply stash.

The men in our family are always thrilled to receive a box! (Even when they know they are coming)

If you really want to dial it up a notch you can customizable these same golf balls here!

Just allow a little extra time for printing and shipping.

Valentines Gift #2: Booze Bundle

Valentines Day

Booze.

It’s that simple for a lot of men!  

This box and bouquet is adorable addition but getting them a 6 pack or case of their favorite beverage is always a sure bet.

Even better? 

Add a gift card to a store they love to shop at! 

Gift cards get a bad wrap as being thoughtless.  But I would argue that everyone enjoys some extra guilt free money they can spend on whatever they wish.

Think about places they like to wander, buy tools, outdoor gear, etc and add that to the mix! 

#3) Valentines Day Gifts For Him: Bring The Heat Valentines Day Gifts For Him

Ok this one might push some of you a little farther than you feel comfortable, but hear me out!

Men are primarily visual creatures, and would love nothing more than to see the woman they love dressed up just for them.

This might be a really special gift idea for those of you who have been in long predictable relationships. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Go ahead and push your hesitations aside and really surprise him this Valentines Day. 

Check out Amazon Prime Intimates for a great selection without spending a ton of money.

#4) Valentines Day Gift For Liquor Lovers

I saw this Valentines Day gift idea on Pinterest and just had to include it!

What a great idea for the liquor loving men in your life, and the chocolate box makes it so cute and festive.

Valentines Day Gifts For Him #5: Scavenger Hunt For His Favorite Things

I thought this scavenger hunt idea from Mr. B and Me was really cute!

It doesn’t have to take them all over the neighborhood but could be a fun way to include the kids and a collection of simple favorite things.

Get creative on the contents, maybe include a token to cash in for whatever guilty pleasure he might have. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Buying an experience, instead of a gift is an awesome idea for your man on Valentines Day.

Gift him the gift of a guilt free good time with his favorite friends at a sports event for his favorite team!

 Valentines Gift #13: Man Inspired Note/Token Jar

Tiny Painter Blog posted this adorable note jar.  

But instead of filling it to the brim with frilly love notes (though there’s nothing wrong with including a few here and there) try to shift gears into the guy mind.

Consider including notes/tokens they can cash in on. 

Maybe things like getting out of chores around the house, spending an uninterrupted afternoon on the couch watching football, a guilt free night out with the guys, or possibly a few other couples interactions that he might enjoy. ๐Ÿ˜‰

#14) Hilarious Burning Love Valentines Day Candle Gift Idea For Him

Take the awkward out of asking or initiating, and let the flame do the talking, no pun intended! ๐Ÿ˜‰
