62 Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him That Aren’t Corny or Cringe

For the Guy Looking to Upgrade His Wardrobe

• Why We Love It: Comes in five different inseam lengths, supremely comfortable

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 for us 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.

For the Sriracha Addict

• Why We Love It: Hand-packed in Portland, Oregon, comes with easy-to-follow recipes, requires very few additional tools

This fun kit comes with everything he needs to mix up his very own series of delicious hot sauces, including reusable bottles and labels so he can make them again and again. And according to reviews, the recipes are incredibly flavorful, so he can actually taste the different chili options, rather than just burning his mouth. There are a few kitchen tools he’ll need that aren’t included—measuring spoons, a small sauce pan and a blender or food processor—so you may want to pick those up for him as well if he doesn’t already own them.

For the Guy with a Playlist for Every Occasion

• Why We Love It: Entirely customizable, comes with a frame, over 5,000 positive reviews

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.

For the Guy Who Loves Learning New Skills

• Why We Love It: Tons of different class types available, he can pick and choose what he wants to learn each month

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 some acting skills from Natalie Portman or take a beginner cooking lesson from famous Chef Gordon Ramsay, the gift of a one-year membership means they can take unlimited classes.

For the Guy Who Wishes He Was Camping

• Why We Love It: Safe for use indoors or out, uses isopropyl alcohol for a clean burn with no sash, easy to clean

Whether he wishes you had a real fireplace in your home or simply that your existing fireplace wasn’t such a pain to use, this portable option is sure to bring a smile to his face and some warmth to his toes. You can choose between the original round design or a modern square option, both of which use isopropyl alcohol rather than wood or charcoal to burn, meaning your home won’t fill with smoke or soot after each use. It also comes with enough fuel to burn for up to 50 hours before needing to be replaced, giving him plenty of time to sit back, relax and enjoy the ease of brining that campfire vibe indoors.

For the Workout Obsessed

• Why We Love It: Full battery charge lasts up to 150 minutes, there are multiple head options to address different needs

Whether your boyfriend is an at-home workout fanatic or just has a bad back from sitting at a desk for eight hours a day, he’ll appreciate having this compact percussive massager to work out kinks and relieve soreness. “I’ve been dropping hints that I really want a Theragun Mini. I’ve heard it’s just as effective as the classic design, but I like that it’s more portable so I can take it to the gym or on trips,” Nick, 31, tells us.

For the Guy Trying to Be a Little Healthier

• Why We Love It: Long-lasting battery, easy-to-use watch face, compatible with both iPhones and Androids

Ed, 33, was bummed when his local gym closed during the pandemic, but his wife took the opportunity to get him started running outdoors with her. “I’m really starting to get into it, he told us, “but I'd like to be able to track my distance and pace—so I’ve been dropping not-so-subtle hints about wanting a fitness tracking smart watch.” And while he didn’t specify exactly which watch he’s got on his eye on, this model from Fitbit is great for tracking workouts. Plus, the battery lasts upwards of six days off just one charge.

For the Retro Music Lover

• Why We Love It: Bluetooth enabled, has two playing speeds (33 1/3 and 45 RPM), sleek, modern design

“I love going to record stores and secondhand shops and buying up cheap records and listening to new music, but my current player isn’t the best,” says Shenuque, 28. “I’ve been considering investing in a new, higher-quality player for a while now but it would be great to get one as a gift so I can spend even more on the records themselves.” This model has the added benefit of hooking up to speaker with Bluetooth, rather than lengths of wire, so he won’t be limited by where can put it in his space.

For the Chef Looking to Expand His Horizons

• Why We Love It: Kindle version available, 55 delicious and easy-to-follow recipes

Shenuque also named this cookbook—a globally-inspired mix of Indian, Mexican, Thai and Italian dishes, all of which make vegetables the star of the show—as a great way to mix up his go-to recipes and try new cooking techniques. “I’ve been meaning to expand my cooking repertoire and some of these recipes look absolutely delicious!” The chef and author, Priyanka Naik, is also passionate about no-waste cooking, so he won’t need to stress over figuring out how to utilize leftover ingredients.

For the King of Snacks

• Why We Love It: Comes with fun packaging, you can choose your delivery date ahead of time, lots of unique flavors

We can’t help but laugh at the idea of giving a giant, red, heart-shaped box full of, not chocolate as one might expect, but ten different types of beef jerky for Valentine’s Day. And the flavors actually sound interesting and delicious (according to reviews, they do indeed live up to the hype). Inside he’ll get 0.5 oz samples of ten different recipes, ranging from classic options, like habanero or garlic, to much more unexpected, like root beer or sesame ginger.

For the Beginner (or Advanced) Chef

• Why We Love It: Easy to use, lots of cute color options, great for any skill level

“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,” Brian, 30, tells us. 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.

For the Comfort King

• Why We Love It: Made from comfortable-yet-chic material, available in five color options

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 Yaksha, 29. If you really want to spoil him, pick up the matching CloudKnit T-shirt too.

For the Guy Stuck in a Workout Rut

• Why We Love It: Great budget-friendly gift idea, 45,000 possible combinations, creates workouts suitable for any fitness level

“I tend to get super bored doing the same workouts over and over again,” Noam, 31, tells us. “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.

For the Long Distance Lover

• Why We Love It: Includes 12 different letter prompts, great budget-friendly gift idea

If you’re in an LDR, these customizable letters will help lessen the pain of being apart. You can fill them out for occasions like “when you’re looking for inspiration” or “when you need a good laugh,” and then gift him the whole pack. Dan, 30, admits he’s a fan, saying, “I know it’s corny, but my favorite gift I’ve ever received from her is probably the “open when” letters she wrote me. I loved reading her messages, because it made it feel like she was right there with me.”

For the No-Fuss Practicalist

• Why We Love It: Folds down small for easy storage, 300-pound capacity, multiple position options

Butch, 64, raves about how this incredibly convenient little hand cart has made running errands in New York City infinitely easier. “It is not just a game-changer, it is the game-changer to end all game-changers. I’m too old to have to make four or more trips from the car to the apartment just to unload Christmas decorations or things from our storage unit, and this cart lets me load up as much as I want and just roll on down the block without hurting my back.” It also folds up for flat storage, another major bonus for small apartment dwellers.

For the Guy Who Knows Too Many History Facts

• Why We Love It: Automatically mails on the 15th of every month, lots of great keepsake items, a 4.8-star rating

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 $40 or $76 respectively.

For the Avid Runner

• Why We Love It: Comfortable design can be worn during and after a run, Merino wool material won’t get smelly, classic silhouette

“I’m always itching for cool new running gear, but I especially like that this shirt could work off the track too,” says Thomas, 25. Tracksmith’s stylish design is make from Merino wool that’s specifically crafted to help wick away moisture and keep runners (or other athletes) warm and dry even during the coldest, hardest workouts. But the Fells Henley also has chic finishing touches, like a trip of buttons at the neckline and a soft, waffle-esque texture that make it a great option for everyday wear as well.

For the Guy Who Loves a Calming Candle

• Why We Love It: Comes with fragrance oil, reeds and reusable glass, scents are noticeable without being overwhelming

“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” Jay, 52, tells us. 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.

For the Outdoor Adventurer

• Why We Love It: Nine size options to choose from, bright, minimalist artwork

Sage, 31, received these artsy renderings of U.S. National Parks last year and is hoping to expand his collection again soon. Pick up a trio of posters representing his favorite vacation spots, or go aspirational and opt for the places at the top of his travel bucket-list. (P.S. Be sure to pick up some frames as well so he can hang them right away.)

For the Bike Commuter

• Why We Love It: Water-resistant finish, has a reflective patch for better visibility, can fit up to a 15-inch laptop

“My girlfriend got me this backpack four years ago and it is still my favorite gift ever,” says 34-year-old Brian. “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 splurging on an entirely new bag. P.S. If you think he’d prefer something larger, check out the Parker backpack which has even more space.

For the Man Who’s Perpetually Cold

• Why We Love It: Four cute color options, machine washable, multiple heat levels

“My girlfriend knows it gets cold in my apartment, so she got me this throw blanket as part of my gift last Valentine’s Day,” says Blake, 28. “It was my favorite gift because it was such a thoughtful idea.” This cozy, machine-washable blanket comes in three sizes—twin, queen and king—so he can use it as a throw or as his main coverlet on his bed. It also has a range of warmth options, meaning he can start using it at the first sign of Jack Frost, then continuing amping up that heat all the way through the depths of winter.

For the Tailgate Aficionado

• Why We Love It: Holds up to 36 cans or 22 pounds of ice, tall enough to fit most wine bottles, easy access magnetic closure

Something tells us 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,” says Ted, 35. And according to one 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.”

For the Film Buff

• Why We Love It: Budget-friendly gift idea, huge range of genres and time periods represented

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.

For the Card Shark

• Why We Love It: Sleek and compact, professional-style chips, available in two sizes

“My fiancée got me this set a few years ago, and it’s still my favorite gift she’s ever given me. All of my buddies are really jealous,” raved Ryan, 31. Whether he hosts poker night every week or he’s new to the world of Texas Hold’em, he’ll appreciate the sleek design of this set. Whether you opt for the 200-piece set or the larger 300-piece set, each case comes with red, blue, green and black chips as well as dice and two decks of cards.

For the (Forgetful) Coffee Lover

• Why We Love It: Doubles as a wireless phone charger, includes matching mug lid, dishwasher safe

His WFH routine typically includes multiple trips to the microwave to nuke his lukewarm coffee. But once you give him this mug warming plate, he can stay comfy at his desk all morning long. Reviewers say it keeps their cup of joe warm for hours, plus the charging/warming plate can also be used as a wireless phone charger. Oh, and did we mention it’s also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning?

For the Man Who Prioritizes Comfort

• Why We Love It: Multiple color options, as seen on Shark Tank

Behold, your new excuse to cuddle up and watch Netflix all weekend, every weekend. Once he puts on this cozy sherpa-lined hoodie-blanket hybrid, he won’t ever want to take it off. Tim, 30, agreed: “My girlfriend already had one and knew I was jealous, so she surprised me with my own Comfy last Valentine’s Day. Best. Gift. Ever.”

For the Guy Who Only Drinks Micro-Brews

• Why We Love It: Very little additional equipment necessary, clear and easy-to-follow recipes, almost 1,800 reviews and a 4.7-star rating

“I’d always wanted to make my own beer, but I never got around to buying the equipment. My wife got me this kit last year, and I was able to churn out a surprisingly good IPA,” explains Sienni, 28. This particular set includes everything he needs to start experimenting with brewing his own beers. There are even three different recipes to choose from including an IPA, a hefeweizen and an amber ale. Wirecutter also named it their top at-home beer making kit, if you need a little extra convincing.

For the Sunday Brunch Fan

• Why We Love It: Makes four waffles at a time, has seven heat levels, nonstick coating makes it easy to remove waffles once they’ve cooked

You might not think a waffle maker screams Valentine’s Day, but you know what they say about the key to a man’s heart. “The best gift my wife has given me so far was an All-Clad waffle maker,” says Steve, 30. “Waffles are my favorite food, and now we get to make them together all the time.”

For the Man Who Loves His Pup More than Anyone

• Why We Love It: Fully customizable, eight size options, can add a frame as well

The only thing he loves more than you? Your pup, of course. Jake, 29, tells us that his fiancé got him a portrait of their pitbull 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.

For the Wannabe Farmer

• Why We Love It: Unique gift idea, budget-friendly, handmade in Georgia

He already has an indoor herb-growing station or a blooming outdoor vegetable garden, but we’re willing to bet he has yet to try his hand at growing his own mushrooms. This at-home grow kit is incredibly easy to use—simply soak the salvaged wood, then store it in a dark, damp place—and in about six weeks he’ll have his very own shiitake mushroom harvest.

For the Man With a Major Sweet Tooth

• Why We Love It: Baked to order, perfect for sharing (hint hint)

Those who live in NYC, Boston, Washington D.C. Wainscott, NY or Bethesda, MD, can opt for quick local delivery, but have no fear—Levain can also ship almost anywhere in the U.S. (including Hawaii and Alaska, but sadly not Puerto Rico), so everyone can get in on the fun. You can hand-pick anywhere between four and 12 yummy cookies, so he’s guaranteed to love every bite. Hopefully, he also shares a few with his oh-so-thoughtful partner.

For the Guy Who Has Everything Already

• Why We Love It: Fully customizable, lots of style options, very helpful representatives

Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day gifts are the simple ones. Using Framebridge, you can upload a picture of you two and totally customize the size and style of the frame you want for it. “My girlfriend used Framebridge to frame my favorite picture of us and gave it to me for our anniversary last month. I leave it on my desk right next to my computer so I can look at it all day,” says Nick, 33. We suggest going with a 4x6 or 5x7 size so your guy can do the same.

For the Great British Baking Show Obsessed

• Why We Love It: Great for beginner or advanced bakers, Kindle and spiral-bound versions available

If he’s always cheffing something up, get him this best-selling cookbook from chef Ken Forkish. Matt, 23, says, “My partner and I looked through this cookbook together in a bookstore last weekend. I really hope she gets me it for Valentine’s Day so that I can start cooking for her more often.” There are recipes for basic, artisan and levain breads, as well as pizza, plus lots of extra details explaining how the ingredients all come together.

For the Whiskey Expert

• Why We Love It: A splurge-worthy gift you can enjoy together, takes up very little space

OK, so technically we talked to a girlfriend for this one, but she swears her boyfriend is gonna love it. “He is obsessed with whiskey and is even party of a ‘whiskey club,’ so I’m gifting him this really nice bottle of Aberfeldy this year. I can’t wait to watch him open it,” Catrina, 27, tells us. A 750 ml bottle is, admittedly, a splurge, but that’s what 16 years worth of soaking in oak casks will cost ya. The end result is a smooth, rich finish with notes of honey, citrus and spicy cloves.

For the IRL Inspector Gadget

• Why We Love It: Multiple bundle options, a 4.7-star rating and almost 77,000 reviews

This VR headset will keep him busy for hours, meaning you can finally watch The Bachelor without his constant commentary. Chan, 32, tells us his birthday is right after Valentine’s Day, so he’s hoping his wife might get him this immersive device as a gift for both (since it is a bit of a splurge). It allows you to play games, virtually attend live concerts and even work out inside a virtual world.

For the Light Sleeper

• Why We Love It: Three weight options, made from breathable cotton so he won’t overheat

Can we let you in on a little secret? Guys love weighted blankets. Seriously, three of the men we surveyed named a weighted blanket as the best gift they’ve ever gotten from their partner. This one from Casper provides 10, 15 or 20 pounds of soothing pressure so he can feel like he’s getting one of your famous hugs all night long.

For the Backyard Camper

• Why We Love It: Easy to transport, available in one, two, four and eight packs, each canister has three to five hours of burn time

This very cool design is, as the name suggests, a large portable candle-esque burner that can be used as a campfire without all the mess and hassle of gathering wood or sweeping up ashes. It also promises a smoke-free burn so he and his buddies won’t have to keep rotating around the fire in an attempt to get out of the way of billowing smoke. And, yes, he can still safely roast marshmallows or hotdogs over the open flame for a fabulous outdoor snack.

For the Sentimental Type

• Why We Love It: A gift you can revisit on future Valentine’s Days, something you and your partner can do together

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.

And just think about how fun it’ll be to look back on what you wrote 10 years from now.

For the Man Who Could Use a Wardrobe Update

• Why We Love It: Ten chic color options, machine washable, doesn’t pill after frequent use according to reviews

Trust us, this comfy hoodie is sure to very quickly become the most-worn sweatshirt in his collection.

For the Guy Who Travels Too Much for Work

• Why We Love It: Corresponding app allows you to create your own special codes and messages, waterproof

Whether you two are in an LDR or he just misses you while you’re at the office all day, these smart bracelets will help you feel more connected.

For the Sexually Adventurous

• Why We Love It: Great for both in-person and long distance fun, waterproof, very quiet

OK, so technically this is a gift for both of you. Satisfyer’s Curvy 1+ vibrator can be synced with an app, meaning he can control the air pulses and vibration speeds with a swipe of his finger.

For the Guy In Need of a Linen Closet Refresh

• Why We Love It: Build your own bundle to mix and match colors and towel sizes

Another girlfriend recommendation, these towels were a major hit with Laurel’s partner Hunter. “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.”

For the Fashionably Focused

• Why We Love It: Made from highly durable materials, very lightweight, good for city walking and backcountry camping

“My partner wore his favorite fall jacket until it was literally falling apart at the seams,” Chris, 39, tells us, “so a new coat was more of a necessity than a creative gift idea. I was so happy to stumble upon this Mountain Hardwear shacket which could easily work for both casual weekends and nicer dinners. It’s right up his alley and is comfortable and chic, a triple threat.” Indeed, this lightweight jacket is incredibly durable and warm, with snap closures at the chest and cuffs, so he can pack break it out no matter what’s on the agenda for the day.

For the Guy with Cold Feet (Literally)

• Why We Love It: Supremely soft shearling lining, durable sole allows for limited outdoor use

Since our partner started working from home, he’s made a habit of stealing our slippers to keep his toes warm at his desk. Our only hope of reclaiming them? Gifting him his own cozy pair for Valentine’s Day. These ones from UGG are shearling-lined and have a durable rubber sole so he won’t slip on his way to the mailbox. Our only gripe? They come only in whole sizes, so when in doubt UGG suggests you order the next size up.

For the Star Wars Obsessed

They also have touch controls, so he can jump to the next podcast episode without having to take his phone out of his pocket every time.
