Whether you just started dating someone or have been with your man for many years, it can be hard to know what gift to get your boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. Much like that old Facebook relationship status option, it’s complicated—men aren't always easy to read! You don’t want to go too cheesy, and you most definitely don’t want to show up empty-handed, particularly if he’s gone the extra mile for you.
That’s precisely why something thoughtful is the best option for a Valentine’s Day gift for your boyfriend. There are plenty of cute things (think: a matching set of coffee mugs) and creative finds (from neck massagers to DIY books or even personalized whiskey glasses) that will fit the bill. Or, if you’re not sure if a material item is the right way to go, surprise him with an experience you can do on Valentine’s Day such as a virtual cooking class or a romantic staycation in which you try to tackle as many classic movies as possible may be just the thing.
To get your juices flowing and inspire your shopping, we’ve rounded up 66 ideas for him that you can feel good about adding to your cart. Oh, and no matter what you choose, don’t forget to pair it with a DIY card to show your man just how special he is to you.
