60 Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him That Aren’t Basic or Cringe

Let’s face it: After you’ve been together for a while, date night starts to go from ‘wow’ to ‘oh, this again?’ Still, that doesn’t mean he’s opposed to planning something memorable—he’s probably just run out of ideas. That’s where this set of 52 surprise dates comes in. Each date is secretly sealed in color-coded envelopes: Blue can be done at home, green is something to do during the day, yellow is a day or night out and orange is a surprise. While some prompts are fun, like, Strike! Hit the bowling alley, loser buys dinner, others are more romantic with ideas for day trips, picnics, candlelight dinners and beyond.

Get him out of those stained khakis or saggy jeans and into a pair of these fan-favorite pants by Lululemon. The ABC stands for “anti-ball crushing” (we kid you not), which multiple men confirmed is true and much appreciated, but beyond the fit, the material is also incredibly comfortable. The brand’s proprietary Warpstreme fabric, a Japanese-loomed polyester, stretches like yoga pants but looks like nice heavy cotton, making these beauties posh enough to wear for just about any occasion.

If your husband has recently decided to become a pseudo sommelier—and insists on decanting every bottle of red he opens—he’s going to appreciate this six-piece set, which includes the best-selling Vinturi red wine aerator, one tower arm and base, a no-splash grate and sediment filter. It has everything he’ll need for the perfect glass of red, and according to one reviewer, it’s a gift that he’ll be taken by: “This silly little thing actually works…I took three blind taste tests. I washed two identical glasses, opened a new bottle of Merlot, poured one straight from the bottle (and poured the other through this Vinturi Aerator). I left the room and asked my wife to move the glasses to the table and call me when all the bubbles were gone. There was no question which one had been aerated. I picked it right away."

It’s the gift that just keeps on giving—Masterclass is a star-studded lecture series that offers a wide variety of courses taught by successful athletes, actors, scientists, mixologists and more. Each course is divided up into ten or 20 minutes per session and covers a variety of topics as the instructor moves through the lessons. Whether your guy wants to learn entrepreneurship skills from Richard Branson or take a beginner cooking lesson from Chef Gordon Ramsay, the gift of a one-year membership means they can take unlimited classes.

This one is as much for you as it is for him. Gift a romantic stay at a Postcard Cabin, a national collection of cozy wooden spaces that look straight out of a design magazine. Not only do these cabins come with large windows to enjoy the woody view—along with a fire pit—but they also bring the chance for (some much-needed) QT from the noise we live in. There's even a lockbox that guests can choose to put their phones into so they can actually experience their surroundings without a screen.

With fill-in-the-blank prompts like “You deserve the ____ award” and “You have the greatest taste in ____,” you can make this book as silly or heartfelt as you want. Either way, he’ll definitely be smiling as he reads through it. Take it from one reviewer, who says: “I got my boyfriend this for Valentine’s Day and he really loved it. He still keeps it displayed on our dresser to this day. It’s a very sweet, tiny, thoughtful gift and good way to let someone know all the reasons you love them.”

While V-day is synonymous with romantic massages, this device will continue to relieve his stiff neck and shoulders after February 14 has passed. It’s a plug-in massager that has three speeds with a heat setting to variably knead muscles—and it can be conveniently draped around the shoulders. That means he can use it while watching TV or, thanks to the car power adapter, even while stuck in traffic. 

The only thing he loves as much as you? His pup, of course. To secure a custom print of his furry BFF, you simply provide Foxly with a pet's picture and their artists will create a modern portrait with digital brush strokes—it’s intentionally designed to be minimalist, so it won’t interrupt the rest of his decor. Plus, while you can choose from multiple frames and sizes, you can also ask them to send the digital file to your preferred printing service (which is great for anyone scrambling for a last-minute gift). Jake, 29, tells me that his fiancé got him a portrait of their pit bull from this Etsy seller last Valentine’s Day and he immediately hung it in their bedroom. Now that’s a sure sign of a good gift.

Any barbecue boss or protein fanatic will appreciate a high-quality cut of steak, and since it'll inevitably lead to a nice dinner for two, it honestly is a romantic gift. With a ButcherBox curated or custom crate, you can gift him 100 percent grass-fed beef as well as pork and chicken for a ton of meals throughout the month. "I got my husband a subscription to Butcher Box a few years ago as a gift, but it ended up kind of being a present for me," PureWow editor-in-chief Jillian Quint says. "We loved the quality of the steaks, the fact that they were designed to feed a family of four and the bonus of usually getting a little extra bacon thrown in as a nice surprise from the ButcherBox team."

Your husband is on the hunt for some comfortable sneakers—and these oxfords are editor- and partner-approved. Crafted in leather and suede, this pair is deemed comfy, flexible and stylish—just look at this rave review: “I got these for my husband because he works in a hospital and walks close to 15k steps a day (sometimes more), so he needs something that’s supportive and comfortable, yet dressier than an actual sneaker. They are also amazing quality and last for so long. And he always gets compliments on them,” says Rachel Gulmi, operations director for branded content.

If you’re looking to make this V-day one that neither of you will soon forget, consider bringing this device into the boudoir. Let's just say it was rated as number one on our list of best couples’ sex toys for a reason. First and foremost, it’s a matte, body-safe silicone ring fits over the penis, and has six speeds from a faint murmur to a strong pulse. But what really makes it unique is that it's designed to give pleasure to both partners, since the vibrating part stimulates the wearer and the partner. As one user writes: "My wife loves the many vibrations. Helps me maintain longer erections. Best yet, my wife loves the big Os." Oh, and did I mention it's waterproof and rechargeable?

Calling all couch cuddlers! This buttery-soft, faux fur blanket is calling your (and your beau's) name. Aside from its ultra-plush touch—and 100 percent cruelty-free materials—people adore this viral throw for its comforting 9.5-pound weight and oversized dimensions (60 inches by 80 inches). One reviewer writes, “I’ve tried regular weighted blankets, and they were too heavy. [The] Marshmallow [is] so soft—it feels like it is hugging you—and it has just the right heft.” Movie nights are about to get *so much* better.

This scratch-off movie bucket list features over 100 blockbusters, so you’re guaranteed to find a few that your favorite movie buff hasn’t seen yet, and definitely a few favorites he’ll happily watch again. It includes classics like Casablanca and Jaws, plus newer titles like Moonlight and Up. In other words, you two won’t face the ‘what should we watch tonight?’ quandary for a while. Be sure to add a magnetic poster frame to the box so they can hang it up and start scratching off those movies immediately upon opening.

You two love trying out new drink recipes together, so he’s bound to get excited when he finds out you’ve signed him up for this monthly cocktail subscription. Each box comes with three original cocktail recipes, plus enough ingredients to make four of each drink. All he has to do is buy the liquor, and you’re ready for an at-home mixology session.

This speaker is pocket-sized, connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and lasts up to five hours on a full charge—so it’s perfect for a boyfriend who specially curates a playlist for shower time (and he won’t have to worry about getting it wet, thanks to its waterproof design). Take it from one reviewer, who hung the speaker from a carabiner during a rafting trip: “It took a full-on river plunge several times and still pumped out the beats without missing a note. Talk about resilience! [Plus], it's not just great at surviving my adventurous mishaps; the sound quality is genuinely impressive. We're talking crisp highs, punchy bass, and a clarity that you'd expect from bigger, pricier models.”

This is the perfect pullover when he wants to look put together for date night but still feel as if he's in sweats. Skims cosy terry crewneck is made of a soft midweight cotton that works well for lounging but can be elevated with trousers. He may very well never want to take it off—luckily, there's several colors you can nab.

If he can’t stop raving about The Bear, this is a gift set that will encourage your boyfriend to live out his ‘yes, chef,’ dreams (even if he did just learn how to pre-heat the oven). It includes Le Creuset’s signature cast iron chef's oven to simmer, boil, braise and bake, a set of Hanno salt and pepper mills, a silicone and wooded spoonula, a slotted spoon and The Modern Proper cookbook, which has 100 recipes for weeknight dinners. Not only is each piece more stunning than the last, especially the enameled cast iron oven, which comes in an exclusive creamy hue, but you can also pick and choose which items to include in the bundle (or shell out a little over $500 for the whole thing).

He’s curated quite an impressive watch collection over the years, and he deserves an equally luxurious case to house them in. This one is thoughtfully designed to fit three watches on a padded removable cushion—and it features a microsuede lining with a double snap closure that makes it perfect for travel. For a more bespoke touch, you can choose between five colors and add a foil-debossed monogram to it.

Sure, most A-listers rock Rolex and Patek Philippe on the red carpet. But according to a GQ article, *this* is the watch celebs—from Ryan Gosling to John Mayer to Bill Gates— have relied on for years. Not only does the design boast an '80s spin on a modern classic but it’s packed with functionality, including a 24-hour clock, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, multi-functional alarm, flash alert and EL backlight. John Mayer himself says, “Even though it’s digital and resin, it’s really clean. And the playful elements are just enough to bring a smile and some really great memories.” In fact, he loves the retro style of the 6900 series so much, he partnered with Casio to create an exclusive light blue model ($180): “I’m having a lot of fun watching a younger generation approximate the style and ethos of the ’80s, having seen it all in real-time…“Neon aerobics” seems to be the reduction of the 1980s the way bell bottoms were of the ‘70s. This [watch] is a callback to the era as I remember it. Cool, sporty, high tech.” 

Something tells me your guy’s eyes will light up when he finds out this cooler backpack can store up to 36 cans. At least, that’s what impressed one man we spoke to: “My wife got me this bag for our anniversary last year and it’s awesome. I use it for everything from tailgates to beach days and it really does keep my drinks ice cold for hours.” And according to another reviewer, that cold can last for even longer. “I purchased my Hopper M20 for a 3-day canoe trip and it was outstanding. With very little ice, it kept everything cold for three days in the sun. It even fell in the river at one point and zero water got inside. It’s also extremely sturdy, which I like, as I don’t like to be precious with outdoor gear. And I found the magnet opening to be very convenient.”

“I have an instant read probe thermometer I use all the time, but this one can be left in a chicken or turkey or other roast to let me know at a glance when the meat has reached its optimal temperature,” one of our testers tells me. Indeed, this handy little tool also has a screen which rotates to allow you to read the temperature at any angle, and can be set to read either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Even if your guy is an experienced cook, using an instant read thermometer will only improve his confidence in roasting meats or baking cakes.

We guarantee this is a childhood game he’ll want to adultify with you. It features a racy take on traditional truth or dare with 100 prompts that will heat things up between the sheets (and beyond). The box comes with 50 sticks to be pulled one at a time, revealing a sexy truth on one side and a dirty dare on the other. Plus, if you’re really looking to take things to the next level, there’s also a kinky version of the game. which includes prompts like, “Choose an adult movie for us to watch,” and “What's your ultimate role-play fantasy?”

Another girlfriend recommendation, these towels are an absolute must if he’s still hoarding his set from Freshman year in the dorms. “We’ve been out of college for two years now, but my boyfriend was still using his old ratty towels and to be honest, it was driving me nuts. I bought him this towel set for his birthday, actually, but it was kind of hilarious how excited he was about them. The first time he used them he couldn’t stop talking about how great it was to have nice towels and how he’d previously thought ‘nice towels’ weren’t really a thing. You better bet I’m using this experience to convince him to upgrade his bedding now, too,” one reviewer raves.

If he loves camping—or simply roasting marshmallows in the backyard—this fire pit was awarded 93 points out of 100 by Quint in a PureWow100 review. “The Solo sell is their signature 360-degree Airflow design which draws in air from small holes in the bottom and releases it as heated oxygen up through the top. Somehow, the result is a nearly smokeless burn, such that campfire sitters experience the warmth of a traditional fire, without any of the smoke-in-your-eyes effects.” To that end, she also adds: “Aside from the smoke-free selling point, I love how stylish it looks—very Aspen ski chalet chic—and how easy it is to use with the kids. We’ve had it out for s’mores-making several times and, thanks to the Airflow technology, my 4- and 5-year-olds can stand right next to it to roast their marshmallows.”

If he's the type who relishes turning on John Wick or Avengers: Endgame as soon as he hops on a plane, then he likely wishes he could kickback and zone in—something that's hard to do with those dinky airplane headphones. The AirPlay Pro hooks into the headphone jack and will allow him to use his own Bluetooth headphones with an airplane screen. So, yes, that means he can finally make use of their noise-canceling feature during a plane movie and drown out any screaming kids or talkative seatmates. It also works with up to two headphones, so you could theoretically watch together. He'll get a lot of use out of it, I promise.

If you’re the couple that leaves little love Post-It notes for each other around the house, this is sure to be a gift he’ll love. It’s a loose-leaf paper–styled, 100 percent cotton blanket that you can customize with a realistic cursive or non-cursive handwriting font. Plus, according to one reviewer, the blanket is durable and well-made: “I like the sturdiness of the blanket—I can tell that it is going to last the test of time… [Also love how] the tassels were rainbow.” 

If he’s constantly jetting off for his job, he’s definitely in need of a classy passport holder so he can travel in style (and not lose his identification). This leather one from Mark & Graham is available in 12 hues and can be customized with a monogram for an extra-special touch. I purchased the green one for my boyfriend and I swear it makes him want to book more international trips for the two of us. A win-win.

Your history-buff hubby already has 400 books about World War II (or WWI or the Wild West or Teddy Roosevelt’s life or basically any major moment in history), but he doesn’t have a replica of Albert Einstein’s personal letters to FDR. This monthly subscription will send him a new packet of painstakingly replicated documents from interesting moments in history. (P.S. Maybe pick up a few frames as well for him to put his favorite pieces on display.) Choose between a 6-month or a 12-month subscription for $42 or $78 respectively.

Your husband is the type who is committed to improving his golf game and hitting the range, but doesn't want to lug his entire bag. This mini bag can fit six clubs and a water bottle and only weighs 2 pounds, which is good for those quick sessions or par 3 courses. A frosty beverage pocket will keep cans cool on a hot day, and there’s additional pockets to stash balls and a glove. Plus, It comes in multiple colors and can even be personalized.

Forget those clunky fitness watches that constantly buzz on his wrist and behold the wearable wellness gadget du jour, the Oura Ring. It gives readings for over 20 biometrics, including heart rate, body temperature and blood oxygen that he can check on the compatible app. The minimalist design won't get in the way of his reps and even looks good for day to night wear. Soon, he'll be obsessed with improving his sleep quality and resting heart rate. The best part? He'll only have to charge it once every eight days thanks to its impressively long battery life.

The most popular scent 5-star hotels are pumping through the lobby right now? This one from Le Labo (and it’s worth every penny if he loves fancy candles). It features a palette that's both smoky and leathery with notes of amber, cocoa, vanilla, cedar, spices and sandalwood. The brand has amassed a cult following for its other woodsy, elegant fragrances—and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a stylish New Yorker who *doesn’t* have a Santal 26 Candle. “Scent is a very powerful thing. It can completely change a mood. This candle does that. The scent is sophisticated and comforting all at the same time,” one reviewer writes.

A Carhartt beanie is a hipster dude style staple, but there's a reason it's also a beloved workwear essential. It's durable, warm and comes in so many colors. As one reviewer puts it: "In general, a beanie is a beanie. This beanie is better than that. It fits snug and stays snug. It is comfortably, but not excessively, warm." Whether or not he partakes in rugged outdoor activities, he'll be happy to have one for the colder months.

Yeah, you could get him a nice sweater or button-down, but he’d probably prefer something he can wear for a cozy night on the couch with you. “My partner got me these joggers for Valentine’s Day last year, and I’m pretty sure I’ve worn them every single weekend since. They’re basically my WFH uniform, too,” says one reviewer. If you really want to spoil him, pick up the matching CloudKnit T-shirt too.

If your boyfriend has started training for a marathon or just logs a lot of miles "for fun," he needs these run-friendly headphones. The open ear design delivers sound through bone conduction and allows for him to get into the zone with his playlist while still hearing his surroundings. They have a 12-hour battery life and have two modes: Classic and Volume Boost, for when he's in a really noisy environment and needs to tune in to tune out. I've owned this brand for years and I recommend them to any runner.

“I purchased this as a gift for my husband. The [storage] box is gorgeous enough to leave out as decor, the chips themselves have a good weight/feel in your hands and the cards are thick and not at all flimsy,” one reviewer raves. Whether he hosts poker night every week or he’s new to the world of Texas Hold’em, he’ll appreciate the gorgeous masculine design of this set. It comes in a wooden presentation box, complete with 100 monochrome chips, black and gold linen-finish cards and an engraved metal dealer chip. 

When you’ve been together for a while, the years start to blend together. So your sentimental hubby will love the idea of this anniversary journal. It allows you to keep track of how you celebrated your anniversary every year (for up to 60 years) plus favorite books, movies and activities you have together and new discoveries you’ve made in your relationship. And just think about how fun it’ll be to look back on what you wrote 10 years from now.

He’s worn all his regular cotton hoodies to shreds, but wouldn’t dare invest in a new, higher quality style. That’s where you come in. Pick him up a super comfy style with hidden phone and coin pockets that he can wear both at the gym or lounging on the couch. Smooth, stretchy and quick-drying to boot, this polished pullover is sure to very quickly become the most-worn sweatshirt in his collection.

If he has a sweet tooth, he’s bound to appreciate this cookie gift box, which has been taste-tested and editor-approved. “If you’re a non-New Yorker who’s wondering if they’re worth the hype, the answer is heck yes,” according to editor Taryn Pire. “It’s six ounces of pure, unadulterated bliss. The crisp, golden brown exterior is the ultimate foil for the underbaked, dare we say doughy, interior.” What’s more, this assortment includes four of Levain’s original cookie flavors—chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and dark chocolate peanut butter chip—and you can choose between four, eight or twelve six-ounce cookies (packed in beautiful cellophane bags with hand-tied blue ribbons). 

Here, another creative way to liven up date night. It’s a deck of 100 mini-challenge cards, separated into three sections: Life, love and laughter. While the ‘life’ cards are more practical (example prompts include, “start a company together” or “become a regular at your local pub”), the ‘love’ and ‘laughter’ cards are all about creating memories and fostering connection. Whether it’s playful cards that say, “Build a pillow fort” and “Have a water balloon fight” or more romantic prompts like, “Take a bubble bath together” and “kiss in the rain,” you’re bound to find something you’ll both want to do. Bonus: You can keep track of every bucket list item you achieve with the things to do, doing and done folders right inside the box.

One of the coolest gifts on this list (especially for the boyfriend who loves to start his day with a smoothie) is none other than this portable, 18-ounce blender from Ninja. It’s rechargeable and uses the brand's signature blending technology, so it will actually make a smooth sip while on the go. Plus, it comes with a removable lid, so he can drink directly from it. Freshly made pina coladas on the beach, anyone?

Part of becoming a city dweller is realizing winter gloves—especially ones as warm and chic as these—are essential to surviving freezing walks to work. This set is not only made from sleek lambskin with a luxuriously soft cashmere lining, but it’s also touchscreen compatible (so he can play Candy Crush while waiting for the bus). “I bought my BF the black pair last year and he loved them so much, he wanted the brown as well. The fit is perfect, and the cashmere lining is lush,” one reviewer adds. Another also mentions: “Love these gloves! I got them for my boyfriend because I love the women’s gloves so much. They are buttery and smooth on the outside and so soft on the inside. They look great and keep our hands warm in the cold Ohio winter—keeps the wind out!”

This all-in-one tool goes out to your husband who makes DIYing a bookcase look easy. Despite its credit card-comparable size, it offers 18 functions as a screwdriver, bottle opener, box opener, can opener, cellphone stand, eyeglass screwdriver, beer opener, fruit peeler, hex wrench and nail puller. Plus, not only is it crafted from heat-treated steel—so it won't bend, break or rust—but it’s also TSA-friendly with no sharp edges.

Beer tastes better in a fancy glass—it's just a fact. You can gift him these special glasses to sip from while he winds down after a long day. This set of two glasses features a screen-print of his favorite city skyline and are shaped like an aluminum can. He'll feel even better sipping his favorite local brew from it!

You have so many family photos you want to display, but only so many frames to do so. The Skylight Digital Picture Frame allows you to upload all your favorite photos and memories and watch them scroll through. You'll all get a smile as you see moments from holidays and family trips that he's sure to love. Family and friends can upload images too via an app or sending them to an included email address. "I LOVE this frame! It sits in my kitchen so that every time I am in there I can see my family pics scrolling through. I have bought one for many family members and they love theirs too!" says one reviewer.

Maybe you and your husband have a major case of the travel bug. This push pin travel map—available in two sizes, 20-inch by 16-inch or 14-inch by 1-inch—will help you both remember all the cool places you’ve been together (plus a few that you’re hoping to visit one day). You can also choose to frame it in a dark walnut or woodgrain black/white finish and there are personalization options available, including a heading and subheading (in chic fonts that’ll blend seamlessly with the rest of your decor). 

What better way to catalog your memories—and have an excuse to go through your favorite pictures on V-day—than by displaying photo tiles all over your home? Printique specializes in high-quality photo prints with a variety of sizes and layouts, plus a number of precious keepsakes that will bring your images to life. You can even give your guy a gift card, so he can be the one to select a photo (or several) and have the memory framed, printed on a puzzle, turned into a tasteful ornament and more.

Those obsessed with their weekly 'za will love elevating it with a little kick of fancy oil. Brightland's popular olive oil has been fused with jalapeño and herbs and comes in squirtable bottle that makes drizzling so easy. The oil itself comes from cold-pressed California olives sourced from family farms. Pair it with a homemade pizza night at home for Valentine's Day and you'll have a winning gift all around.

After two years of use—and enduring the spit-up, finger paint and other messes that come along with parenthood—this robe still looks brand new for VP of editorial Candace Davison (blessed be, it's machine-washable!), making it a tried-and-true splurge for the guy who's been by your side raising a new baby. It’s made of Turkish cotton, woven into a four-ply gauze—so it’s moisture-wicking and cozy—while still being breathable enough to prevent him from overheating 20 minutes into lounging. Plus, while $129 may be pricey, Davison says it’s held up better than any of the discount robes she’s found at big box stores.

If you’re married to a sneakerhead, you know how much effort they put into keeping their sneaks in prime condition. This kit contains a sneaker cleaner solution, hardwood brush and a cloth to ensure his favorite pairs stay dirt- and odor-free. When his favorite pair of Jordans are stark white again, he'll be thanking you.

Memorialize your first dance song from your wedding or the song that was playing the first time you met or even his most beloved workout pump-up jam with a one-of-a-kind print. This Etsy shop will take the lyrics to whatever song you choose, as well as whatever details you want to call out (your names, a specific date, etc.), and print them on what looks like a unique vinyl record made just for him. According to reviews, the artists are easy to work with and there are tons of different color and frame options to ensure you get exactly what you want.

Even if he claims he doesn't misplace his wallet all the time, the time he wastes searching for it in the morning is still precious. An AirTag can help him ping his wallet to speed up the search, but most wallets don't have a designated spot for the tracker and it can be clunky or get lost if it's put in the coin pouch. This leather wallet has just the spot for it, as well as 12 card slots and a two-sided ID holder. Don't forget to pair it with an actual AirTag, too!

“I tend to get super bored doing the same workouts over and over again,” one of our testers says. “So I thought it was really funny and sweet when my boyfriend gave me these workout dice last year.” These fun dice have a mix of exercises and reps on each side to give him a custom, random workout plan every time he rolls. It also comes with a book that explains each move in detail, alongside info on which muscles are being worked.

This pocket projector is basically the size of a 3-by-3-inch Post It note, so he can easily watch movies anywhere in the house. “You can take it anywhere, turning just about any room of your house—or stretch of fence in a backyard—into a makeshift movie theater,” Davison writes in PureWow100 review. “It’s way more enjoyable than trying to binge Manifest on your phone or laptop—and the quick-start guide walks you through connecting it to Wi-Fi and streaming videos. Still, the setup is so intuitive, you barely need to scan it to figure things out, especially if you’re familiar with using Android devices (the Luma 350 runs on an Android interface). Within minutes, we were able to log in to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and Disney+, streaming our favorite shows just as easily as we’d turn on our TV.”

Cute and comfortable, these will be his go-to shoes for warmer weather or for running errands. They're lightweight and have an insole that feels like walking on clouds, so they wear pain-free all day long. No wonder the obsession with the brand is real. "Hey Dudes have become my spoiled dad's favorite. They are lightweight, come in many colors and textures, lined for warmth or unlined for summer. Wear them anywhere or everywhere—versatile with shorts or with chinos," says one reviewer.

Your husband is the type who gets really into the kid’s little league games, then a candle that brings him straight into the ballgame is sure to be a home run. Each candle is inspired by a famous team's stadium with unique notes like grass, cedar, popcorn and caramel. Trust me, they actually smell delightful, and you'll both enjoy the up to 80 hours of burn time.

If your guy is a dedicated PlayStation player but doesn't always want to take over your TV to play, the PlayStation Portal will be a great companion. It connects to their current console over WiFi, allowing them to play their favorite games without being tethered to a large screen. They can stream all the same games, too! That way, when you're watching the next season of your favorite show, he can sit right there alongside you doing his thing. No guarantees he won't still yell at the game, though.

“My girlfriend got me this backpack four years ago and it is still my favorite gift ever,” says one happy reviewer. “It’s waterproof, super comfortable, has enough room for my laptop and tons of pockets to keep everything else organized, and it also has a reflective stripe so I feel better about having it on my back when I bike around after dark.” Even better, this backpack, just like all of Timbuk2’s products, comes with a lifetime warranty, so if the fabric starts to peel or a zipper breaks you can simply send it in for repairs rather than buy an entirely new bag. P.S. If you think he’d prefer something larger, check out the Clark backpack which has even more space.

If you're in the early stages of your relationship and don't want to go overboard for V-Day, a nice card will show you care. But this isn't just any card, the Lovepop card will pop-up with an adorable Darth Vader holding flowers and candy—and c'mon, what guy doesn't like a Star Wars reference? You can write a personal message on the a blank note card that slides into the card, and there's a matching Star Wars pop-up bouquet to go with it.

Sleep next to an insomniac? Try getting him one of these eye masks with a gentle eye massager that can relieve stress and headaches. It’s designed to block out 100 percent of light while supplying little bursts of vibrations that can help him drift off to dreamland. "I find it very lightweight, comfortable, good quality—[it] doesn’t cause eye pressure and the first vibration setting is perfect for me to fall asleep to," reads one review. "I’m a back sleeper and the mask doesn’t slip...I find that I’m tossing and turning a lot less overnight."

“I’ve slowly been turning my home into a little oasis and focusing on decorating with things that make me feel happy and calm as a way to try an combat stress and a gentle, elegant scent diffuser would make a perfect addition to my current set-up” one PureWow testers tells me. There are multiple lovely scents to choose from, but we’re partial to Sea Salt Grapefruit which has notes of black pepper, sea salt and grapefruit, with a base of tarragon and dew drops, for a crisp, bright scent.
