What to get a man?

Asked by Sophief (6681points) January 20th, 2010

I need advice on what to get my boyfriend for Valentines Day. It is really easy to buy for girls, I always end up getting him girly stuff. I want to get him something Valentines based, just not girly stuff. Please help.

What is he interested in? It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day themed, per se, just a gift he would enjoy. Or spend time enjoying something he likes to do and make a night of it.

Be highly selective in your conversation.

Sophief's avatar

@gemiwing This is the problem, he doesn’t like to go out. He is interested in a lot of things, I know he would prefer something none Valentines, it’s me that wants to get him something like that.

@LJELANI ?

Whatever HE would really like, and put it in a cute pink giftbag or wrapping to make you feel better. :)

@netgrrl That made me laugh, thanks.

Not knowing what his tastes are forces me to guess. Cologne? Aftershave? Clothing that looks sexy? Maybe put a pink bow on yourself and give him a really wild night?

Sophief's avatar

@stranger_in_a_strange_land Clothing will probably be the one I think, and I could put on one of my many uniforms I guess.

@Dibley Or just the pink bow and nothing else?I sent your question to Violet, she often has great ideas in this area,

All men love toys & gadgets…. perhaps a little remote control helicopter. Either that or tie a large red ribbon around yourself, I’m sure that’d make him smile.

Or some “adult toys”?

What are his hobbies, interest, etc?

Tenpinmaster's avatar

gadgets!!! lots o gadgets. :-) Oh yea, don’t forget lovin! So you can start the day with a present that has bells and whistles and end up at night with a highly romantic evening with food, drinks, and “activities”

So he doesn’t like to go out, and he doesn’t want you getting him something to do with valentine’s day?

Maybe…don’t?

Get him something that applies to one of his hobbies, it would show you care enough to support his interests. A couples massage could be nice too!

Sophief's avatar

@TheJoker I’m thinking the bow could be a good thing!

@BoBo1946 His interests are anything sport and me obviously!

BoBo1946's avatar

@BoBo1946 He used to play golf, snooker and darts. He is starting Golf again in spring. He does a lot of Mountain Biking.

BoBo1946's avatar

Sophief's avatar
