It seems as though we just finished unwrapping the presents under the Christmas tree and now another big gifting occasion is upon us, with Valentine’s Day just well, days away.
And if there’s a guy in your life you need to shop for, it may seem like a daunting task. After all, men are notoriously hard to shop for, let alone for a romantic holiday. While socks and ties make for easy stocking stuffers come the holidays, they’re less appreciated — and way too casual — for a day where you’re meant to show how much you really love someone. If you ask me, Valentine’s Day is your chance to prove you really know someone, too.
In my dating experience (and from what I hear from my currently coupled-up friends), the best Valentine’s Day gifts can be divided into two categories: sweet and sentimental, or elevated and extravagant. While big things can still come in small packages, grand gestures — and grand gifts — are definitely appreciated too. Good Valentine’s Day gifts for him are personal, but still useful in his everyday life. Above all, the gift has to be attentive and amorous: this is a holiday about love, after all.
What Are the Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Boyfriends and Husbands?
Valentine’s Day poses a different gifting challenge than other holidays or birthdays. Unlike your white elephant party in December, this is not the occasion for gag gifts, no matter how much of a sense of humor your partner has. And this is 2026: you’ve got to think beyond basic Hallmark cards and mall-brand chocolates.
Whether you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day gift for your boyfriend or a good gift idea for your husband, we’ve rounded up some of the best gift ideas to help you nail that perfect sentiment or find that romantic surprise. We based our picks on things our married and partnered staffers have actually gifted their mates in the last few years, as well as new products for guys that have popped up online.
And while I’m still single and looking for a boyfriend (or husband!) right now (seriously, my contact details are in my bio), I’ve also chosen a few things that I would personally like to gift — or receive.
Here are the best Valentine’s Day gifts for your boyfriend or husband, according to partnered Rolling Stone staffers and one hopeless romantic (a.k.a: me).
Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
AirPods earbuds are fine for a workout or run, but these AirPods Max headphones elevate your audio experience, both in terms of sound quality and looks. These wireless over-ear headphones feature pro-level noise cancellation, immersive spatial audio, and up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. Everything is housed in a sleek and minimalist package that still turns heads today.
Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds
If you do want to get him a pair of earbuds, skip the generic brands and upgrade to something a little more luxe, like these Pi8 True Wireless Earbuds from Bowers & Wilkins. We’ve tested these in the office and marveled at the super crisp and detailed hi-res audio and the crystal clear voice pick up (thanks to the three built-in mics). The Bluetooth earbuds pair easily to your phone or laptop, and adaptive active noise cancellation helps you tune out distractions if you want to focus on your music or call. Even more reason to buy these: they’re the go-to earbuds for Bowers & Wilkins ambassador, David Beckham.
Ray-Ban x A$AP Rocky Puffer Wayfarer Sunglasses
A$AP Rocky’s year is off to a good start, with a new album, and a continued collaboration with Ray-Ban. The rapper infuses the brand’s iconic Wayfarer sunglasses with “inflated, sculpted curves,” exaggerated temples and out-sized arms. Available in 12 colors, the frames are at once retro and modern. You can also level up and grab the super limited-edition Diamond Edition, crafted with 14k gold and hand-set diamonds.
Vinyl Record Player with Bluetooth 5.3
As digital streamers still struggle to compete with the sound quality of analog record players, the latter have seen a steady resurgence in recent years. We’re big fans of record players as gifts because they’re part-audio luxury, part-decor, especially this clear model, which we spotted at Amazon. It’s constructed from a clear acrylic material, which gives the appearance of glass or crystal, with a contemporary minimalist finish. Aside from all the bells and whistles of a high-end record player, this turntable also boasts Bluetooth 5.3 technology for fast and reliable pairing with speakers or headphones.
This set includes the vinyl turntable, a travel charger, RCA cable, 45 RPM replacement circle, a transparent cover, and white gloves (to not get fingerprints on your new gift).
Official Band T-Shirts
Know your man’s favorite band or artist? Head over to Amazon’s popular Artist’s Merch Shop, which has a huge collection of officially-licensed gear from just about every popular artist you can think of, including Oasis, KISS, David Bowie, Eagles, The Beatles, and hundreds more. It’s much easier (and much cheaper) than scouring thrift shops for that vintage artist tee. Want someone a little more contemporary? Amazon has a warehouse of official Drake merch, too.
The Dark Knight Trilogy Steelbook Box Set
Movie fans will love this Dark Knight trilogy set, which features all three of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies in 4K Ultra HD quality and housed in three limited-edition steelbook cases. A fourth steelbook holds collectible cards, storyboards, a Gotham Times newspaper clipping, and other exclusive merch. This is an Amazon exclusive with a limited printing. The set features the three films on Blu-ray, and you also receive a code for a digital download of each film that you can watch online.
Volcan De Mi Tierra Tequila X.A
There is no shortage of tequila brands in the market today, but if you’re craving something more unique than those celebrity-owned offerings, pick up a bottle of Volcan. Started as a small family-owned business with an agave field at the foot of a volcano in Tequila (hence the name), Volcan’s single NOM tequila is still one of only twenty single-estate distilleries in all of Mexico. In layman’s terms: they know their stuff when it comes to producing authentic, quality, super interesting (and super drinkable) tequila.
Want the good stuff? Volcan X.A is a blend of their reposado, añejo, and extra Añejo tequilas for something that’s at once crisp and elegant, with aromatic notes of agave, fruit, and spice. The bottle is super presentable too and will look good on a bar cart or shelf long after you’ve finished the last drop. Volcan was just awarded Best in Class Tequila last year at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC).
Jared Jewelers Men’s Signet Ring
Forget “He went to Jared” — WE went to Jared (online, obviously) and found a customizable men’s signet ring for under $300. It comes in 14k yellow or white gold, and you can engrave his initials (or yours), or even a meaningful date, like your anniversary, so he officially has no excuse to forget it. Just note: orders need to be placed by Feb. 1 to get a customized piece in time for Valentine’s Day, according to the brand.
A Custom Suit
I recently had a custom suit made at Men’s Wearhouse, and it’s now my favorite suit in my closet. The retailer’s custom suiting program lets you select the fabric, get measured, and decide all the details of the final product. Best of all? It starts at just $500, which is more affordable than buying a suit off the rack at most big retailers. If your man could use a new suit (or you just want to see him in one), gift him the experience here.
Ninja Luxe Café 3-in-1 Espresso, Drip Coffee and Cold Brew Machine
Coffee aficionados can’t do capsules anymore, which is why you should upgrade him to an actual espresso machine. This 3-in-1 machine from Ninja makes lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos with ease, plus you can make drip coffee and cold brews as well. It comes with everything you need to get started, including a tamper and milk frothing wand. The stainless steel design, meanwhile, makes for a great countertop addition.
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi
Don’t have space for a full espresso machine? I was gifted this Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee Machine and use it daily in my office. The slim design doesn’t take up too much desk space (or shelf space) and I like the variety of Nespresso capsules, which are more robust and flavorful than other brands (you can even buy and use The Weeknd’s coffee collection with this machine). The Vertuo Pop+ makes a hot coffee in seconds, with surprisingly authentic crema. The included milk frother lets you whip up lattes and cappuccinos too.
Head Flash Pro Padel/Pop Tennis Paddle
Padel is the new “it” sport among both athletes and entrepreneurs alike, with the racket sport gaining at private members clubs and public courts alike. Like a cross between tennis, squash and pickeball, padel utilizes both a hard court and glass walls to promote a fast-paced game based on ball placement and finesse rather than power. F1 stars like Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are known to play padel in their spare time, and the sport has drawn celebrity fans like David Beckham, Mark Wahlberg, DJ Khaled and Leonardo DiCaprio too.
Tinggly Experience Box
If you don’t want to give him more “stuff,” check out Tinggly’s experience boxes. The brand lets you present your man with a physical gift, but inside a QR code that unlocks thousands of experiences to choose from. Each box is slightly curated: The “Once In a Lifetime” box, for example, delivers experience options like skydiving, private tours in Bali, sandboarding in Peru, and a Manhattan helicopter ride. Use our code ROLLING for 20% off.
Levi’s Corduroy Shirt Jacket
Step up his layering game with this corduroy shirt jacket from Levi’s. It features a quilted lining and a dual snap button and zipper closure for warmth, plus plenty of pockets for your stuff (or to keep your hands toasty). The corduroy material and shirt jacket design levels up the style points, while the burgundy colorway is a just-right shade of red for Valentine’s Day.
BEIS Pro Rolling Duffle
Shay Mitchell’s brand BEIS just unveiled their new men’s collection, and one of the standout pieces is this rolling duffle, which lets you pack a ton of stuff versus traditional check-in suitcases. This one comes in black or khaki and is made from a rip-proof ballistic nylon material with a lightweight protective polycarbonate back shell. A ton of thoughtful details abound, from exterior pockets (so you don’t have to unzip the whole bag) to interior dividers and straps that let you organize and secure everything neatly. The comfortable handle has a built-in weight indicator that lets you know if your bag is overweight (or over 50 pounds).
Worth noting: there are only two wheels on this bag, so you’ll have to pull it on an angle like older suitcase models, though that’s a small price to pay for an ultra-durable duffle that’ll last you for years. And if your boyfriend or husband asks: tell him this is the same bag used by — and promoted by — HIM star Tyriq Withers.
Seiko Motorsports Chronograph Quartz Watch
A watch makes for a great Valentine’s Day gift that feels personal, since you can find a timepiece that matches his style. This one, from Seiko, works for multiple personalities and wardrobe styles, thanks to its handsome stainless steel design, with a white dial and black markings. We like the silver-tone stainless steel bracelet too, which offers the look of jewelry while retaining the practicality of a watch. What we also like: this Seiko watch looks way more expensive than its $144 price point.
Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic Men’s Watch
A field watch is a solid option too, especially one from a pedigreed brand like Hamilton. One of their signature models, this Khaki Field Watch features a silver-tone stainless steel case with a brown leather strap, stainless steel bezel, and scratch-resistant crystal sapphire. This watch pairs great with office attire, but it’s designed for utility too, with luminescent hands and markers, water resistance up to 165 feet, and a leather band that will age and patina beautifully over time.
UGG Men’s Neumel Chukka Boot
These UGG boots get him the coziness of the brand’s popular slippers without looking too laidback. In fact, these Neumel Chukka Boots are designed to be worn outdoors, with a grippy sole for traction and a stylish silhouette that pairs well with jeans and work pants alike. And yes, the same iconic Australian sheep wool still forms the plush interior lining, ensuring that his feet stay warm all day long.
Kenneth Cole Wilhem Suede Chukka Boot
Want a similar style but with more wearability. We like these Kenneth Cole chukka boots, which are made from a smooth suede upper with a sleek almond-shaped toe and slightly-raised heel. These are slip-on boots with lace detailing — you don’t actually have to deal with tying shoelaces. These boots also instantly elevate any look, from jeans to suits. Choose from this “mocha” colorway at right or a tan-like “tobacco” shade.
Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera Kit
Whether he’s an amateur photographer or just getting started, this kit gets you everything you need to perfect that pic. The set includes the bestselling Canon EOS Rebel DSLR camera — which delivers 24MP images and HD video — plus a storage bag, camera strap, 64GB memory card, lens kit, charger and more. He’ll be snapping away in no time, whether it’s on your next romantic vacation, or just photos of you for the ‘gram.
Mongolian Cashmere Quarter Zip Sweater
Clothing can be a hard thing to purchase for someone, especially if they’re in between sizes (it is bulking season after all), but that’s why a quarter-zip sweater is so versatile. Aside from being a trending style right now, the quarter-zip is meant to be layered, and looks smart whether over a T-shirt, polo, or collared shirt. This one, from Quince, is made from a buttery soft Mongolian cashmere and has been in my closet as a go-to for work and flights alike. It’s under $100, too, but feels and looks way more expensive — in fact, Quince says similar styles go for more than $200 online.
LEGO Super Mario Game Boy – Retro Building Set
For a nostalgic gift (say for a boyfriend or husband who’s young at heart), we like this LEGO Game Boy set, which features a buildable version of the iconic Nintendo handheld gaming console. The attention to detail is pretty incredible on this set, which features Zelda and Mario Kart “cartridges.”
RENPHO Deep Tissue Percussion Muscle Massage Gun
If your guy is an athlete (or just prone to stress), gift him one of these uber-popular massage guns. Using percussive therapy, the compact devices massage deep into muscle tissue for relief from fatigue, soreness, and stress. The gun’s quiet, brushless motor can be adjusted between a whopping 15 speeds, depending on how gentle or intense a massage you want. And this set comes with six different massage heads that target different pressure points and sore areas. This massage gun is from RENPHO, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary with a big product display at CES.
Samsung Galaxy AI Smart Ring
I picked up a Samsung Galaxy Ring during the tech brand’s big CES unveiling last month, and I’ve been using it all day — and all night — since. It’s been a great way to help me monitor my fitness, sleep tracking, and stress levels, while offering helpful insights into how I can improve my daily well-being. If you’re trying to help your boyfriend or husband prioritize his health, this is a way to do it without dragging him to a doctor’s visit or gym. What I like: as someone who prefers wearing an actual watch over a fitness tracker, the Galaxy Ring works with my personal style and doesn’t stand out like a sore smartwatch. I have the silver titanium colorway, seen here.
Lovery Bath and Beard Grooming Kit
If your man is into grooming (or if you’d like to step up his routine), wrap up this 11-piece grooming set for him for Valentine’s Day. The gift set comes with deodorant, shower gel, beard wash, beard balm, bath salts, and more, all housed in a mini black bathtub. The sandalwood scent is fresh and masculine without being overpowering, and the black bottles won’t have him embarrassed to reach for the products each morning. A bonus: it also saves him from using up all of your expensive skincare items, too.
Womanizer We-Vibe Temp
You’re a giver — clearly. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. This Valentine’s Day, lean into it with a gift that’s for him and quietly for you. The We-Vibe Temp is a futuristic-looking, couples-focused vibrator featuring warm and cool settings, three modes, and a lube-friendly design, according to the brand. Consider it the most reliable way to make sure Valentine’s Day dinner doesn’t end with just dessert.
Nike ACG Therma-FIT ADV Convertible Camp Blanket
If your man is an outdoorsy guy, we love how fun and unique this Nike camp blanket is. The quilted nylon blanket doubles as a convertible poncho, with fleece-lined pockets for warmth. When not in use, it packs up in a rectangular pillow that’s great for the tent or in the car. This is a great gift for sports fans who like to tailgate, music fans at a festival, and of course, camping fans too. It’s also a way to let your partner know you’re always there to keep him warm… even if he never admits to being cold.
Bearby Cotton Napper Weighted Blanket
A weighted blanket is also a good gift idea to get you some cuddle time with your partner. I’ve been using this one from Bearaby for years and like how the large knitted appearance elevates it from a weighted blanket you’d see in a dorm room or child’s bedroom. This was is decidedly more sophisticated, and looks great as a throw when you’re not tucked under it. I use the 15 pound blanket but it’s available in weights of 10, 20 and 25 pounds too. Choose from eight decor-driven colorways too.
Handmade European Wooden Chess Set
If your valentine loves a good game night — or maybe just chess — gift him this high-quality wooden chess set. Both the pieces and the board are handmade out of hornbeam and sycamore wood, with weighted felt bottoms, ensuring a substantial, satisfying feel with each move. This set features the 21-inch board on one side and a felt-lined storage area on the other, with padded compartments for each piece. Everything folds shut into a handsome wooden case.
Sling TV Subscription
If you’re stuck on what to get him or need a last-minute gift, sign him up for a subscription to Sling, a live TV streamer that lets you watch 50+ channels over the internet, without needing cable. The Sling Orange & Blue package includes a live feed of popular channels like ESPN, NFL Network, FS1, TNT, TBS, CNN, and more, and you can stream everything online through your phone, computer, tablet, or smart TV (via the Sling app). Sling lets you stream on multiple devices at the same time, too, say, if your husband or boyfriend wants to livestream sports while you catch up with a little AMC or Bravo.
