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.
Tickets to watch his favorite team
Surprise your boy by taking the initiative and getting him tickets to see his favorite team in action. He’ll appreciate your attempt to combine his interests in sports with a date. Check out the websites of local teams for ticket information.
Passes to hear his favorite band
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. Concerts are a great opportunity for a fun date. Whether it’s dancing the night away or singing at the top of your lungs together, this will definitely make for a memorable night.

His favorite cologne (or yours)
There’s nothing better than a man who smells great. Why not get him a gift that both of you will be able to enjoy? By giving your guy cologne, you’ll ensure that you love the scent. And because you were the one who got it for him, he’ll use it and know that you love it. This gift is great because it’s simple and will last him quite some time.
