Guy Gifts for Valentines

I'm totally one of those ppl that think V-Day is for women to get gifts not men LOL

But Fi is working so hard lately the poor guy deserves something! I was thinking of getting that beer of the month thing where you get a package of different micro-brewed beers once a month, but someone has to be home to sign for it each time and neither of us is ever home to sign for things.

That was my only idea!!! Someone help me please!! 
I want it to be useful, and not cheesy. I am gettiing him a nice watch for his wedding gift so that is out.

    Hmmm tough one. Valentines Day is more of a chocolate/candy/stuffed animal holiday for us so I'm no help. However if you are looking for chocolate, at Target in the $1 section they have Mrs. Feild's chocolates for just a few dollars each. I got him that, a bulldog from build-a-bear because we both want one but can't get another dog just yet so a stuffed one will suffice for now lol and I got him a custom card from etsy.

    As for your FI.. sinc the only thing I know about him is that he likes beer, what if you got him a personalized beer glass and (this doesn't have to be for this weekend obviously) but take him to a brewery in the city and do a tour of it. I don't know if your FI is into his car but mine is so if yours is too here's another idea.Make a car cleaning/detailing gift basket for him. Alright that's all I got lol

    Well my gift isn't all that exciting, but... FI really loves the HBO mini-series 'Band of Brothers' (which I have to admit is really good.. so if you haven't seen it yet, you should rent it, or catch it the next time they are playing the episodes.  The original air date was a few years ago, but you find that they run it every now and again), so I bought it for him on DVD (it's a box series).  I was able to get it brand new on eBay for about $40.

    Some other ideas are..... cologne & candy.... lingerie.....  a chain (i don't know if he wears jewelry)....fun boxers or pj pants (like with hearts or something on them)... i once got this cute key chain from red envelope- there was one half for him and one half for me, and when you put them together there was a cut out heart shape made, but apart it looked like a bottle opener...

    sorry.... that's all I've really got!!! lol  Hope some of that helps!!

    Guys are SO hard to buy for! To throw out some ideas:
    FI loves craft brews too- if you go to a beer distributor they have an awesome selection of craft brews you could buy and maybe put together.

    He also loves Blu-ray discs, so I have bought him new releases or series. He is a huge sports, so I can always fall back on getting him a sweatshirt or T-shirt from his favorite team.

    I also get him shaving items from the Jack Black line. He isn't a very high maintenance type of guy, but has sensitive skin, and LOVES the shave brush, shave lather and aftershave. I buy it at Sephora.

    Our first Valentine's day I bought him a leather wallet from Coach- he still has it to this day! (4 years later!) it was a good investment.
