valentine's day gifts for your boyfriend

39 Romantic (and Non-Cringey) Valentine’s Day Gifts for Your Boyfriend

Just saying, February 14 is coming up REAL quick….

By , Rachel Torgerson and

Exchanging presents on Valentine’s Day is typically expected, but that doesn’t mean your gift needs to be. One way to make an otherwise cliché and polarizing holiday more exciting (and enjoyable) for your boyfriend/husband/partner is by thinking outside the box (of chocolates) and indulging in something you know he’ll appreciate.

Stumped on what to get him this year? Don’t fret, we have some sweet and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas for your consideration. Perhaps treat your man to a romantic weekend getaway for the two of you or a wine aerator so you both can enjoy a glass over dinner at home. Maybe get him a plush robe if he’s a homebody or a gourmet hot sauce collection if he’s a foodie. When in doubt, just think of how you can further amp up his interests (the outline is already there, you just gotta color it in) or have a look at the 39 gift ideas we’ve outlined for ya, below.
