It’s that time of year ladies! Some dread it, some anticipate it, and some of us are just simply lost. What do we get him? We don’t want to come off too cheesy…don’t want to not do enough…and don’t want to take it too far. Well, here you have it! The perfect gift guide for your valentine on any budget.
$5-$25 Budget:
- Heart underwear/boxers. Not tacky, but rather just sort of a funny yet cute gift! Besides, who doesn’t need more underwear? Get crazier, and purchase matching ones!
- If the boxers idea is still too cheesy for you, then try a new twist on the cliché chocolate gift: chocolate for an alcohol lover! There’s a bunch of different options to choose from that aren’t too expensive, and besides, who doesn’t want a little bubbly on the special day?
- What do men love more than just about anything? Food. Which food specifically? Bacon. You heard me–try cooking your man some bacon for Valentine’s Day. Waking up to the smell of bacon will please him enough, but then if you style them in the shape of hearts that will definitely give breakfast that extra V-Day touch.
$35-$75 Budget:
- Since monograms are so in right now, why not get him a glass or beer cup and monogram his initials? That way whenever he’s sipping down his favorite drink, he’ll be thinking of his favorite girl too.
- While many think it’s a little unoriginal, I feel obligated to suggest a new shaving kit. You can find good ones in a variety of price ranges and get your man clean shaven before your romantic night out.
- If your guy is like many others here at Miami, he probably loves fashion as much as we do! So, why not get him a new shirt, tie, or bowtie? Vineyard Vines sells bow ties specifically for Valentine’s Day at $55 a pop. And if you’re not into buying your man clothes, then buy yourself some! While you may be the one wearing the lingerie, it’s your guy that’s going to appreciate it.
