2. Personalized Walnut and Maple Wood Bottle Opener

This one’s for all those amazing husbands and boyfriends out there who work really hard but know how to play hard, too.
If your man loves nothing more than to kick back and relax with a cold one after a long day, he’s really going to appreciate this unique gift this Valentine’s Day.
Our walnut and maple wood bottle opener is portable but also comes with a screw in case wall mounting is preferred. It comes in many different designs to suit any interest. This one features an engraved motorcycle (super cool if he’s a biker!) as well as his name and any other text you’d like it to say. The opener itself is made from real cast iron.
Other themes include:
- Auto/racing (a gear shifter)
- Farming (a tractor)
- Sailing (a ship’s wheel; have it say “Captain [name]”
- Best Dad Ever
- Man Cave
- … and more
This bottle opener would make the perfect addition to any man cave, garage, game room, or back patio.
3. Custom-Engraved Couple’s Tumblers

Do you go together like coffee and cream, salt and pepper, CID and logic? Are you a pair like pb & j, cupcakes and frosting, alcohol and bad decisions? Then let him know – and let the world know too!
Our couple’s tumbler set includes two premium Polar Camel tumblers (comparable to the top-dollar brand but at a wallet-friendly price). Each mug is vacuum-sealed and double-walled, meaning that both his and your drinks will be staying ice cold or piping hot for hours on end.
This is one of our favorite Valentine’s Day gifts for him. We think it will be yours, too, because it has a built in bonus – you’ll get a matching tumbler to boot.
Each tumbler comes personalized with both of your names, and is available in many different sizes and colors (get the same or different colors so you can tell them apart). Personalize yours here!
4. Tickets to Whatever He Likes!

When searching for Valentine’s Day gifts for him, it can really help to do a little creative thinking. For example, think experiences, not just tangible items!
This Valentine’s Day, surprise him with tickets to an upcoming event that you can both enjoy together. Whether he’s into sports, music, theater, or rodeo, sites like Ticketmaster or StubHub can be super helpful resources if you choose this idea.

9. Custom Heart-Shaped Text on Canvas or Print

When it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts for him, it doesn’t get much more one-of-a-kind than this. The heart-shaped art depicted on this framed print (or canvas – your choice) is created using nothing less than what you choose to have it say- how special is that?
You can write your loved one a poem or even a mini love story featuring the two of you as the main characters. Or choose the lyrics of a favorite song, or even lines from the first movie the two of you saw together.
Personalize it further with your names and an important date, such as your first date or wedding anniversary. Get yours here!
10. Personalized Wire Bookmark (+ a Book He’ll Love)

So your hubby’s a bookworm. That automatically makes Valentine’s Day gift shopping super easy, right? Just pick him out a new book at your local bookstore and call it a [holi]day!
Not so fast, it ain’t that easy!
You know better than anyone that the book lover in your life takes his reading very seriously. He probably prefers a certain genre and has most likely read everything in that particular category. You have to think outside the box once again. So here we have it: a bookmark.
Really, a bookmark? But this isn’t just any old paper bookmark, it’s a wire one bent into his name or anything else you’d like it to say. Not only do you get to choose the text but also the decorative topper.
Give him this custom bookmark this Valentine’s Day, and he can say bye-bye to those dog-eared pages for good. To go with his gift, surprise him with some fresh reading material that’s maybe a little outside his favorite genre, or closely related to it.
BONUS: Couple’s Cooking Class

The two of you love to cook together anyway, so why not take your relationship to the next level and schedule a cooking date you can enjoy side-by-side?
You can do just that with a cooking class in your area!

More Great Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him
You’ve reached the end of our list featuring our top 10 favorite ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts for him…
Only you haven’t really reached the end; in case your hunt continues, we’ve got just a few more ideas for you to consider.
First, if you want a couples-themed gift that celebrates your relationship, check out these ideas.
DIY Gift Ideas
The V-Day gifts in this section are do-it-yourself and completely customizable. These may be more along the lines of what you’re looking for at those times you’re hoping to add an extra splash of thoughtfulness into your Valentine’s Day gift for him.
For instance, you could:
- Write him a love letter. Yep, a simple yet meaningful, old-fashioned love letter. Create some pretty stationary (or print some off) and share with him everything you love about him and will always love about him. Maybe even spritz a little perfume onto the paper before you give it to him! This one is easy to do yet super romantic so we just had to mention it first.
- Make his Valentine’s Day card, instead of buying one. Those greeting cards you can get at the grocery store are mass-produced and not to mention expensive. Avoid getting your man the same card Mrs. Jones next door got hers (weird!) by making him one, instead. If you’re not the artsy type, you can always use the computer to accomplish this. Here are some ideas on what to say.
- Cook him his favorite meal or dessert. Okay, so the way to a man’s heart is not always through his stomach, but the idea behind this sentiment still rings true. Because while tackling the crowds to eat out on Valentine’s Day is fine, everyone enjoys a home-cooked meal, especially when it’s made with love.
- Create a DIY memory book for him. This idea is similar to the gift idea #4 above, only you’re making it yourself. All you need is a journal or notebook, a pen, some optional decorative features like stickers, ribbons, or art supplies, and a heart full of love.
- Put together a gift basket full of everything he loves. Fill it with his favorite candies (or health foods), a framed photo of the two of you, his favorite drinks, music, books, and anything else he’d enjoy.
- Research free events in or near your city that you can both enjoy together. Eventbrite is a great resource- simply click on the “Free” tab and go from there.
- Record a poem or song for him. Do you two have a song that you claim as your “couples” song? Perform a cover and download it for him to enjoy whenever he wants. If singing or playing an instrument isn’t your thing, write him a poem and read it aloud.
Classic Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him
We’ll close out with ten final gift ideas. These ones are all total classics:
- Chocolate
- Personalized wallet
- Good whiskey or bourbon
- Set of personalized pint glasses
- Power tools
- Video games or gaming system
- Custom cufflinks
- Men’s watch
- Quality headphones
- His & hers t-shirt sets
