When people think about Valentine’s Day, they usually think of it as a way to show that special someone just how much he or she means to them. The holiday is an opportunity to express true feelings. For some, it’s a chance to muster up an extra bit of confidence to approach the guy they’ve been crushing on all year. Once they get the cutie, it seems like the hard part is over. But when we need to find the perfect gift, many of us are left clueless. Use these helpful ideas to give him a Valentine’s Day gift he’s sure to never forget.

If your boyfriend is neither the athletic type nor one who enjoys watching grown men bash it out on the field, then maybe he’ll enjoy rocking out to his favorite lyrics with his favorite girl by his side.
