Let’s face it: Valentine’s Day is really geared towards women. It’s a mushy, gushy, kissy, huggy macho nightmare. Most of the gifts involve jewelry, perfume, stuffed animals, flowers, chocolate, flowers, and romantic dinners. None of those things would top a guy’s wish list. In fact, men might have an easier job shopping than women for once because this holiday is totally girly. This holiday makes finding something suitable for a man pretty tough. He doesn’t really care about cute pajamas, hearts, or necklaces. He’s basically got everything he needs and he’s not forthcoming about what he might want. A resourceful woman shouldn’t be above asking his friends, or perhaps his mother. Still stumped? Here are some fun presents that will do the trick for your boyfriend, husband, or current crush.
Gourmet Cupcakes- He won’t admit it, but he’s got a serious sweet tooth. He’s always raiding the fridge or sneaking a second helping of dessert. If you’re guy has a sugar jones, surprise him with a package of Valentine’s themed cupcakes. As the old saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. His tummy will be satisfied with your thoughtfulness, and he may be kind enough to share a bite. Guys tend to appreciate practicality, so something edible is a safer bet than a throwaway item, such as balloons. Give him a variety pack unless you’re positive that he’s a chocolate freak.
Home Brewery Kit- What guy wouldn’t love brewing his very own suds? The kits aren’t as cheap as a six pack, but they’re way more entertaining. Give him a chance to play the expert; the results could be amazing or hilarious. His buddies will want to help out, of course. They’ll be giddy the whole two weeks until the batch is ready for guzzling! Who knows, this might turn into a full blown hobby or a new career.
Beer Holster- This complements the home brewery perfectly, and it’s something he can start using right away with zero effort. The beer holster has a gag gift feel even though it’s fully functional. If your guy always loses his bottle or works in the yard/garage on the weekends, he’ll get a kick out of this Wild West accessory. It works with both bottles and cans, so it doesn’t matter which he prefers. Tell him he’s allowed to wear it at parties or guy’s night out. It’s great while he’s grilling up a hearty dinner on the patio; no more spills.
If all else fails, buy yourself some lingerie. That’s probably what he’s been hoping for all along.
