What Do Guys Really Want On Valentine's Day?

by Kiersten Hickman

Stuck on what to get your guy for Valentine's Day? I have to admit, when it comes to Valentine's Day (or any holiday, for that matter) I always tend to find gifts that are practical instead of, what I call, "fluff stuff." My guy loves gifts that are going to improve his life in some way — gadgets and gizmos galore, really. So when it comes to finding what guys really want on Valentine's Day, you really can't ever go wrong with practicality.

The gifts below are a range from practical to fun — in case your guys likes to be splurged on as well. We have drinking sets, cool gizmos for iPhone nerds, and even a chocolate bar that tastes like a hoppy IPA beer. (Not kidding — I think I may purchase one for myself.) These gifts will help him in his every day life, but also fun things to enjoy on the weekend - like clever beer openers and even a handheld arcade game.

So whatever type of guy you are buying for this Valentine's Day, one who either wants practical gifts or fun gifts, there's a range here that will certainly win him over. Here's what your guy really wants this Valentine's Day.
