Best Valentine's Day Gifts for Men

Dale Morris
Valentine's Day is creeping up on us and we all know what we want as women, Chocolate, Flowers and Jewelry, not necessarily in that order. But what do we buy for him? We may not like to admit it, but guys just aren't that into mushy romantic gifts. So here are a few ideas for you.

If you want to go with something completely safe, buy his favorite cologne (or your favorite), hobby related Magazine subscriptions, DVD's of his favorite movies or TV series, anything for the home bar or his favorite liquor. But if you want something a little more original, check out these options:

Silk Boxer Shorts at your local department store. Plan to pay $15.00- $30.00 per pair.

Vintage Classic Rock T-shirts. You might even be able to replace that one from the 1981 concert he's still wearing with a fresh new one. Check out www.80stees.com and plan to pay about $30.00 each.

Football Universal Remote. You may not like it in your decor, but it sure will be easy to find. It would be great if your guy has a "Man Cave" too. Check out www.nflshop.com, the football remote control runs $24.99.

How about a PERSONALIZED Louisville Slugger Baseball bat? Check the Sports Authority and plan to shell out $64.99.

If your guy is into beer and football, or beer and yard work, or beer and listening to music, how about a Microbrew Beer Bucket Gift basket from www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com. Cost is $69.99.

What every guy needs is a Fog Free Shave Mirror. You can find one at www.improvements.com for about $39.00, if you want a radio included, they have that too for under $100.00.

If your guy likes dressing up, try the personalized cuff links from www.redenvelope.com for $50.00 or the Personalized Pocket watch from www.thingsremembered.com for about the same price.

You know the saying, "He who dies with the most toys wins". We all know that whatever the age, a guy always love toys. There is a whole world out there of remote control fun for your guy. Check your local hobby shop or Radio Shack. There are adult sophisticated RC helicopters, airplanes, cars and boats. Who knows, you might have fun with one too. These gadgets run anywhere in price from $50.00 - unlimited. Beware of the ones you find at Wal-mart though, they are not very reliable.

If you're guy loves working with his hands, try a model of his favorite things, boats, cars, ships, planes. You can find these at your local hobby and craft stores and there is a wide variety of skill levels available. Expect to pay $15.00 - $500.00 depending on size and difficulty.

If you are one of the lucky ones, and your guy enjoys the romantic side visit www.personalcreations.com for a Message in a Bottle. They have pre-printed messages, or you can write your own, for a mere $14.95. Or venture a little further on the wild side and give him the Kuma Sutra Romantic Massage Oils Gift Set from www.uncommongoods.com for $68.00.

Happy Valentine's Day!
