You've planned your Valentine's Day activities, dropped hints about the Valentine's Day gifts you want, and even stocked up on art supplies for Valentine's Day crafts to do with the kids. There's only one thing left on the agenda: sort through the best Valentine's Day gifts for husbands and zero-in on one (or a few) that will tickle your husband's fancy.
Valentine's Day can be one of the toughest holidays to find gifts for your husband, because unlike Christmas or his birthday, you probably want to weave in an element of romance when shopping for Valentine's Day gifts for him. But what does that look like? A fishing pole with a love note attached to the hook? A toolbox filled with homemade Valentine's Day cookies? A cool new mini-fridge stocked with wine and cheese? Maybe — it all depends on your husband's interests. The point is there's a way to make almost any gift a Valentine's Day gift, so you should start by thinking about what he actually wants.
We've curated the best Valentine's Day gifts for the geeky husband, the fashion-forward husband, the sentimental husband, and more. Check out our picks below, get your order out of the way, and then you can go back to figuring out your ideal Valentine's Day Instagram caption!

Stop getting him subpar slippers. You know the drill — you get them for Christmas and by Valentine's Day they're thrashed from all the times he's worn them in the yard. Instead, support a sustainability-focused brand, and get the best slippers money can buy with OluKai. The indoor-outdoor Mahana slippers come in two colors and sport rave reviews.

The perfect way to showcase your love for him on Valentine's Day? With a framed collage of all your favorite photos and memories together, of course.

Whatever it is, let him know you're paying attention by surprising him with it on Valentine's Day. If you can't think of anything, you can never go wrong with the Valentine's Day standbys, like chocolate, flowers, or red wine. Or, maybe he's more the craft beer type!
