12 Perfect Valentine’s Day Gifts for Men

Valentine’s Day is synonymous with flowers, chocolates, and romantic dinners, but when it comes to gifting the men in our lives, these basic presents can feel like a miss. What do you give someone who isn’t the biggest fan of roses and doesn’t want a box of heart-shaped treats? The answer requires you to think about what makes him feel appreciated, by tapping into his hobbies or giving him something he wouldn’t get himself. Whether it’s an upgrade to his skin care or a seriously cool watch, you’ll find the perfect gift, below.
