Just for Him: Gifts for Your Valentine

February 12, 2015 by Shellie Wilson

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s natural to wonder what your man is going to do for you this year. Will it be chocolates, dinner, jewelry or something totally unexpected? Will he bring roses and be a perfect gentleman, or have something larger than life up his sleeve? It’s fun to anticipate and eagerly await the special date.

But, it’s also important to remember that the guy in your life deserves some attention and recognition on the day of love, too. If you’re struggling with thoughts about what to get him, don’t despair. Read on for a few ideas that are sure to make his heart beat a little faster this February 14th.

For the Sports Enthusiast

Is your significant other one of those fanatical sports fans, who throws himself wholeheartedly into each season? Football season has him devoted to his fantasy football league, basketball season has him glued to the TV screen and you find him (secretly) practicing his swing every time a golf tournament takes place. If this sounds familiar, make this Valentine’s Day all about his passion.

Start by getting him tickets to an upcoming game. Then, think beyond the game itself. Complement the tickets with a nut tray and beer kit, so he can have some snacks and his own brew to enjoy before the game. Plan out the transportation so he can enjoy his beer and not have to get behind the wheel. He’ll appreciate the fact that you’ve thought through every detail and are giving him a chance to go all-out in his fandom.

For the Avid Gamer

Maybe your boyfriend is a little less into athletics and more into his Xbox or computer games. If he loves poker and dreams of striking it rich on the national poker circuit, give him a poker set that comes with poker chips, a decks of cards and a poker chip insert. Or, if he loves classic arcade games, go retro with an NES console and classic Nintendo games, along with favorite old-school candies (Red Vines and Pez, anyone?). Your man will likely squeal like a little kid when opening such a gift.

For the Adrenaline Junkie

Do neither of the previous descriptions fit the love of your life? Maybe he’s a motorcycle-riding, iron-pumping, world traveler who defies conventional stereotypes and keeps you guessing. This type of guy can be a thrill-a-minute, but also incredibly hard to buy presents for. If this hits home, you can never go wrong with tapping into his need for adrenaline. Plan your next date to go skydiving together. If he’s already done this, find something exhilarating that he hasn’t done. Try an aerobatic plane ride, white-water rafting, bungee jumping, racecar driving or any other activity that gets his heart pumping. And, he will love the fact that you celebrate his bad boy, thrill-seeking side that makes him who he is.

No matter what your Valentine loves to do, don’t forget to make this holiday just as special for him as he’s making it for you. With a little bit of effort, you can speak to his masculine heart with the perfect gift. This way, you both can celebrate the holiday of love.
