Everyone is always talking about the perfect gift to get a girl on Valentine’s Day, but let’s not forget how hard it is to find great gifts for guys. The Daily Reveille lists 10 meaningful gift ideas to get your boyfriend on the special day.
Chocolate: This is the most traditional present to give for Valentine’s Day, but that’s what makes it so perfect. Pick out some of his favorite chocolate and add it to your main present as a sweet little treat.
Beanie: If you’re still getting to know the person you are spending Valentine’s Day with this year, you can’t go wrong with a classic beanie. Though it doesn’t stay cold in Baton Rouge for long, a beanie is practical and stylish.
Travel Mug: If your guy loves coffee, a travel mug is a great gift for him. He could take it with him to class every day to enjoy a cup of Joe on the go. Get him one with a design of his favorite movie or TV show; he’ll love it.
Sunglasses: This is a gift that some people forget about, but who doesn’t love a pair of classic Aviators? This is another practical gift that he will use every day, or at least every day that it’s sunny.
Cologne: Cologne may seem like a cliché present to give a guy, but whether it’s typical or not, guys love to smell good just as much as girls do. Pick out a cologne that you like, and he’ll love to wear it just knowing that you picked it out.
Headphones: A perfect present for a guy who likes jamming out. Guys like the idea of getting presents that are practical and will be put to good use, so this is a perfect option. He’ll wear them at the gym or while he’s studying for exams.
Thumb sticks: If you’re dating a gamer, this is a meaningful present that they will use every time they sit down to game. They slide over the analog stick, and you can pick out a design from their favorite game.
Smartphone Projector: For those boys out there who love watching movies, a smartphone projector is the perfect gift and better yet, you can use together. It’s inexpensive and shines a clear image of your phone’s screen up onto the wall.
Wallet Insert: This is a small piece of wood or metal made into the shape of a credit card that slides right into your boyfriend’s wallet. You can get it engraved with a sweet message, or maybe the date of your anniversary. Either way, this is a meaningful present that will have him thinking of you every time he opens his wallet.
“Remember When?” notes: Buy a small Mason jar and fill it with little notes of your favorite memories with him. It’s always fun to look back on the amazing memories you have made together, and what day is better for reminiscing Valentine’s Day? Additionally, he can look back on all of your good times whenever he looks through the jar.
