Every year we wonder what to get the men in our lives. Not this year. These are the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him!

Although women are traditionally the largest gift recipient demographic on Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t mean leaving the guys out entirely. The husbands, partners, boyfriends, coparents, men in our lives certainly deserve to be recognized! They fill our days with love and laughter and lots more, so we definitely want to find them something special. But it is just us, or does it kinda feel like shopping for the guys is harder than shopping for the ladies? It’s completely possible it’s because the focus is on women on the Day of Love, so it feels like there are fewer options readily available. That doesn’t mean we’re totally lost, though. We’ve done some leg work and have rounded up the best Valentine’s day gifts for him!

This is not a drill. These goodies are as diverse as all the men out there, so you won’t have any trouble finding the perfect present in our list. We’re almost sure of it. Whether he’s a super snacker, a handsome homebody, a fabulous fixer, or a creative chef, he’s going to adore our ideas (and, of course, adore you knowing him well enough to pick the perfect one!). Gifts aren’t necessary to show your love. We know that. But it’s so much fun to see his eyes light up! And they will, because these are the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him.

Sustainable LEGO Bricks: Your Favorites Made Better

It's Nice That

The LEGOs you know and love are in for some big changes. In an effort to create zero waste, the company is producing LEGO bricks made from plant-based materials, but you likely won’t notice at all. LEGO just announced in early 2018 that it has started production on sustainable blocks made with materials sourced from sugarcane. The plant-based polyethylene is softer but still durable. Despite these new changes, LEGO promises that builders won’t notice a difference in the look or feel of the bricks. Learn more here.
