It’s always fun to exchange gifts, but for those who are at a loss for what to get your boyfriend, then the holidays and birthdays can be hard. If you can’t figure out the perfect gift for your boyfriend, or just need a little inspiration, then here is a list of 10 affordable and classy items for your boyfriend next Valentine’s Day.

 

 

Cologne 

I am the type of person who loves perfume, and I love it when my man smells good too. If you’re looking for a good one to buy, then I recommend for any boyfriend, “Acqua di Gio” by Giorgio Armani.

Watches

Watches look good on men, and I love it when my boyfriend wears his watch. I’m not saying to go out there and get him an Apple watch, but there are many watches that are at a decent price, like this Michael Kors and Lacoste watch below.

Polos

Being in college means internships and job interviews, so take this opportunity to spruce up your boyfriend’s wardrobe and get them some nice collared polos for when they have to go to work. I am personally, a big fan of Lacoste polos because you can pair them with khaki pants and a sweater over them and they look so professional and sleek.

Belts

Belts always dress up an outfit, and you don’t need to go out of your way to get him an Hermes, Gucci, or Louis Vuitton belt. Instead, get him a Lacoste, Armani Exchange, or Michael Kors belt that is still nice quality and looks good for special occasions.

Sneakers

We all know that boys love a new pair of sneakers and getting them a pair of kicks will be like Christmas all over again for them. If you’re not too sure what kind to get, then I recommend these new Nike Air Vapormax Plus.

Team Jersey’s 

This one is for those huge sports fans out there. My boyfriend has been a football player his whole life and he’s a big Giants fan, so when the Giants are playing there’s nothing that can get his eyes off the TV. Getting your boyfriend a jersey, or any type of item that is from one of his favorite teams, makes for a good gift on Valentine’s Day.

Men’s Neckalce

If your boyfriend likes to wear chains, then getting him a sterling silver or stainless-steel necklace of your choice makes a nice gesture of thoughtfulness on Valentine’s Day.

Tickets to a game.

Like I said before, men have a weakness for sports, and my boyfriend also loves to see the Knicks play and I think that getting your man tickets to see his favorite team is one of the best gifts.

Beats by DRE headphones.

Not only are Beats headphones very popular, but I know my boyfriend likes to use his for everything. Beats are statement headphones and they look good on everyone who use it. They have a variety of colors and headphone type, making it easy to choose what type you think your boyfriend would like.

Couple’s massage

You could buy a package to get a couple’s massage together at a spa. Usually for Valentine’s Day, spas do a nice service of serving champagne if you’re 21 and over, and provide chocolate covered strawberries to make it nice and intimate for you and your partner on Valentine’s Day.
