Courtesy of Brands

These Valentine’s Day gifts for him are unique and just straight-up cool

The man in your life isn’t always the easiest to buy for. It can be a real undertaking trying to find Valentine’s Day gifts for him, and there are only so many bourbon glasses and whisky stones he could want. We’ll admit that our most-searched-for gift guides are often the ones surrounding what to get our favorite guys. Of course, that also means that we’re pretty dang good at finding the best gifts after doing so much research, ourselves.

Not all men are cut from the same cloth. But we don’t have to tell you that. All that means is that there are no options for one-size-fits-all Valentine’s Day gifts for him. These are the best roundup of gifts for any super-loved guy: Foodies, style-smarties, retro-lovers. It’s all right here. And, as always, don’t totally stress out about what to give your most-loved guys. Take the pressure off of yourself and just have fun!
