You've planned your Valentine's Day activities, dropped hints about the Valentine's Day gifts you want, and even stocked up on art supplies for Valentine's Day crafts to do with the kids. There's only one thing left on the agenda: sort through the best Valentine's Day gifts for husbands and zero-in on one (or a few) that will tickle your husband's fancy.
Valentine's Day can be one of the toughest holidays to find gifts for your husband, because unlike Christmas or his birthday, you probably want to weave in an element of romance when shopping for Valentine's Day gifts for him. But what does that look like? A fishing pole with a love note attached to the hook? A toolbox filled with homemade Valentine's Day cookies? A cool new mini-fridge stocked with wine and cheese? Maybe — it all depends on your husband's interests. The point is there's a way to make almost any gift a Valentine's Day gift, so you should start by thinking about what he actually wants.
We've curated the best Valentine's Day gifts for the geeky husband, the fashion-forward husband, the sentimental husband, and more. Check out our picks below, get your order out of the way, and then you can go back to figuring out your ideal Valentine's Day Instagram caption!

Here are some ideas: A sentimental item: Something that has sentimental value, like a photo album or a custom piece of jewelry, will show your husband that you put thought into the gift. An experience: Give your husband an experience he'll never forget, like a weekend getaway, cooking class, or sports tickets.
“For the guy who has everything, or just doesn't need anything for Valentine's Day, tickets to a comedy club, to a book signing, to an art fair, or really to anything are always a good idea.”
Among women in relationships, the gifts they'd most like to receive for Valentine's Day are a card (38%), a nice dinner out (38%), and/or flowers (37%). For men in relationships, a card (31%), a nice dinner out (27%), and sexual favors (26%) top the list.
In Today's Talker — it seems men care more about Valentine's Day than women do. According to a new survey by One Poll, more than half of the men questioned expected their partner to put in max effort for the holiday. Only 36% of women felt the same way.
One of the best ways to make your husband feel loved is to be affectionate with him. Give him hugs, kisses, and loving touches throughout the day. Make eye contact when you speak to him to show he has your full attention. Compliment his appearance and thank him for even small things he does for you.
