Valentine’s Gifts for him – show your man how much you love him
Ever feel like your other half is impossible to shop for, especially on a budget?
My husband only likes three things – gadgets, food and his kids – and me of course. đŸ™‚
But, I find having to shop for him very challenging. Many times, my husband actually has the gift idea in mind!
Grr!
So, every time a holiday or my husband’s birthday rolls around, I want to get him something special, but it can be hard to tell what he wants or needs – especially since he may already have the things he wants!
And Valentine’s Day is no different.
Now that our twins are 8 years old, our Valentine’s day will be filled with crafts, candy and gifts!
If you’re stuck for ideas, I came up with 56 pretty awesome Valentine’s Day gifts for men for under $25.
Now…I have to make sure my husband doesn’t read this post!
Yikes!
7 Valentine’s Gifts to Make Him Feel Pampered

These gifts will help your husband indulge while still feeling like the man he is.
1. Burt’s Bees Men’s Gift Set

3. Southpole Men’s Basic Fleece Marled Jogger Pant
You know how much you love to lounge in your yoga pants despite the fact you haven’t touched a yoga mat since before your kids came along?

But, I bet guys are secretly the same way. Check out these joggers – they are extra comfy for weekend relaxing.
4. The Body Shop 2-Piece Shave Away Kit
This set promises a close shave and comes with a nifty shaving brush. And the best thing about this shave cream?

Check out The Body Shop’s Maca Root face protector and Amber aftershave as additions to this Valentine gift.
5. Scentsational Tobacco Vanilla Scented Natural Soy Candle
You would think combining Tobacco and Vanilla wouldn’t smell good, but it DOES.
