Valentine's Gifts Guys Won't Hate

Today's Valentine's Day Tip:
(psst. 5 days left!)

Stumped on what to get your man this Valentine's Day? Oh, I'm sure he'll love the sweater you knitted and the drippy love letter, but you may want to consider adding some of the following ideas:
1. Gadgets Galore

Men love the feel of cool metal on their skin and the thrill of pushing buttons. Check out the new iPhone or iPod Nano. He already has one? Try the iGuy (photo). This iPod case has a bendable personality of it's own for only $35. Also look into portable GPS devices or gadgets for his laptop.


2. Monthly Magazine Lovin'

I know that my man always ends up in the magazine section when we go to Barnes & Noble, but getting a subscription is much cheaper. So, buy one for him! Help him unwind from work by living out his manly fantasies through magazines like Surfer, Fine Woodworking, PC/MacWorld, Men's Health, or Travel.

3. Couch Potato Perks

The gift of movies offers double returns for you: He gets to relax on the couch and watch his favorite action/thriller movies and you get to cuddle and eat popcorn with your man! Buy his favorite boxset of TV shows or movie trilogy or subscribe to Netflix (LOVE THIS!) and watch movies instantly on your computer or get DVDs in the mail. Very inexpensive and loaded with rewards.

4. Married to a Man-Child?

Yes, he has a big-boy job but when he comes home he wants to fulfill his Hero fantasies by slaying dragons or racing cars through the city. Video games can be a great way for him to decompress when he comes home from work so show you appreciate the dragons he slays at the office by giving him the latest xBox or PS3 games.

5. Super Sports

The Big Game may be over, but keep the spirit alive with sports equipment (great incentive to exercise) or sports memorabilia of his favorite team. Car mats, wall art or gift certificates to a sports store would be great gifts for him this year!
