With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about what to get that special guy in your life. This year skip the silly gag gifts and opt for a gift he'll really love. Whether that means giving him a weekend to himself or taking him on a road trip, he will love one of these thoughtful (and inexpensive) gifts this year.
Make Him Dinner
As the saying goes, "The way to a guy's heart is through his stomach." Instead of dining out, make him a romantic dinner at home. Whether that's a big plate of spaghetti to share "Lady and the Tramp" style or a combination of wings and nachos, he'll love the thoughtful gesture.
Get Him Tickets To His Favorite Sports Team
Even if you absolutely hate sports, buy game tickets for the two of you. Not only will he be ecstatic to go to the game, but he'll think it's awesome you're sacrificing a night to hear him cheer is head off. So grab your game day colors and prepare for a screaming boy!
A Guy’s Night
Let's face it, no matter how much our guys loves us, they love their bros too. If he hasn't seen his friends in awhile, plan a guy's night for him. Buy snack foods and drinks and get out of the house for the night. He'll love the thoughtful gesture and will surely repay you.
Leave The Kids With The Grandparents For A Weekend
If you have kids, he's probably needing some time alone with you. It's easy to get wrapped up in your kids' lives and forget about each other. This year, leave the kids with the grandparents and spend the weekend doing what you both love to do. Even if that means laying in bed watching Netflix all weekend.
Make Him Breakfast In Bed
And offer to clean it all up. From pancakes to eggs and everything in between, go all out. Even if he isn't a morning person, he will love waking up to a plate of his favorite breakfast foods.
Plan A Weekend Getaway
With Valentine's Day landing on a Sunday this year, plan a weekend out of town for the two of you. If you both have a favorite getaway or want to try something new, now is the perfect time. Plan a trip, make a road trip playlist with his favorite songs and pack a bag full of snacks. He'll love it!
A Gift Basket With All Of His Favorite Foods
Food seems to be a common theme here, but who doesn't love a bunch of their favorite foods?! Buy a huge basket and fill it with all of his favorite foods. He'll have go-to snacks all week and every time he'll go to the basket, he'll think of you.
A Big Fuzzy Blanket For Cuddling
It's not just girls who love cuddling, guys do too. Get him a big fuzzy blanket for you two to use every time you cuddle. You could even wrap a few of his favorite movies inside the blanket as the perfect setup for a Valentine's Day movie night.
Uninterrupted Video Game Playing
Like the guy's night, he sure does love his video games (without all the interruptions, of course.) Whether you leave the house or go to a different room, give him a few hours full of video game playing. You may hear some deathly yells and cursing, but he'll love being able to play his favorite games.
Make Him A Coupon Book
This may be an overdone gift, but it sure is a good one. You can put anything and everything in your coupon book. Clean the house, take him to a movie, make him dinner, the possibilities are endless. And let's be honest ladies, he'll love being able to cash in his coupons.
Book A Couple’s Massage
We all live stressful and overwhelming lives. Take a break and relax with him this Valentine's Day. A couple's massage is the perfect way to do just that. You'll both be able to let out your stress and knots and spend the time together.
Thank Him For Everything He Does
While it may seem cliche, everyone likes to be recognized. Don't forget to thank your guy, and all of the other loves in your life, for everything he does for you this Valentine's Day. He's always spoiling you, so here's your chance to celebrate and spoil him!
