Tamara McRill
Giving your husband a useful personalized Valentine's Day gift that balances your need to show affection and his need to not be embarrassed at the office doesn't have to be difficult. You just have to learn how to discretely place the personalization, so he will use the gift daily. This allows your husband to fondly remember your love, without anyone else being in on the secret.

Give Your Husband a Personalized Laptop Briefcase for Valentine's Day

If your husband is always on the go with his laptop, personalizing the case will keep you in his thoughts. Typically, the little metal plate on the front is what is engraved, so you will want to be a little cryptic when personalizing this Valentine's gift. Have the laptop case engraved with your wedding date, the place you first kissed, where you took your honeymoon or the name of a restaurant that holds romantic memories. This personalized gift will allow your husband to reminisce about your love, without his office buddies making kissy faces. Things Remembered has a lap top case that can be personalized for $40.

Personalize the Gift of Time for Valentine's Day

Personalize a watch for your husband for Valentine's Day. This is a gift that he will wear every day and look at often. There are typically two options to personalizing a watch. You can put the message on the face or the back. If you choose to go with a message on the watch face, be discreet with personalization. If choosing the back, you can craft as mushy a personal message as you can fit into around 15 characters. He will know it is there, but no one else can see. J.C. Penney's has a watch that can be personalized on the face, retailing at $74.99.

Personalized Wallet Gift for Valentine's Day

A wallet may not seem like a very romantic Valentine's Day gift for your husband, but the goal is to give him something useful to remember you by. Take your husband's personality into account before you decide how personal you want to get in two words. You can try any of the discreet options listed above or even have the wallet embossed with phrases like "Love You." Gifts for Professionals has a leather bi-fold wallet, for around $55.

Personalize a Beverage Holder for Your Husband

If your husband likes beer, then he probably likes a frosty mug. So why not give him a personalized beer mug for Valentine's Day? It can be kept in the freezer and he can use it when the guys aren't over. Personal Creations has a cute mug, featuring the slogan #1 (insert word), inside of a star. They also allow two lines for a phrase, at 18 characters per line. You can go crazy with the personalization possibilities in this. The personalized 25 ounce mug is $9.97, plus shipping.

Give Your Husband Valentine's Inspired Personalized Boxers

If you are looking to give your husband a wacky, lovey-dovey or zany gift for Valentine's Day, personalized boxers are perfect. Even if your husband puts on a suit every morning, your wild personal message can still go to work with him. No one else will know. WhackyPlanet.com has a huge assortment of boxers that can be personalized for Valentine's Day, most for under $15.
