Listen, it’s time to shake up the status quo. For as long as we can remember, Valentine’s Day has been a holiday pegged as more for the ladies than the fellas. Gifts such as flowers, chocolates, lingerie and the likes all seem marketed toward women this time of year. (Even though, c’mon, guys can also totally dig those things.)
But if you ask us, this heart-shaped holiday is the perfect time of year to show all the important men in your life a little extra appreciation. After all, the holiday got its very name from a male saint credited for starting the annual love-fest.
To help get your favorite “him” in the holiday spirit, we’ve rounded up some killer gifts that are sure to turn him into a Valentine’s Day convert. We didn’t just pick your stereotypical man gifts either — we love whiskey stones and socks, but the man you’re shopping for would probably appreciate a more practical and unique gift more. In full disclosure, you’re probably going to want to keep a few of these for yourself — and, hey, who are we to stop you? Just make sure the best guys in your life get in on the Valentine’s Day fun, too.
