Valentine's Day and gift-giving tends to focus heavily on how to shower women with tokens of love. But here's the truth: Guys like good soaps, comfy blankets, fine chocolates, fun games, and being in love as much as anyone else. With that in mind, this gift guide can help you shop for the marvelous men in your life, whether it's your teenage son, your brand-new boyfriend, or the one you've been married to for decades.

We included some traditional presents (gourmet chocolates filled with a whiskey ganache, anyone?), but keep in mind that any gift, whether they are heart-shaped and cherry red or not, can be a Valentine's Day gift as long as it's something that he'd love to receive! Beats headphones, a new LEGO set, or a stylish jacket are all excellent gift ideas that say "I love you." Whatever you pick, the most important thing is that you give him something to cherish this Valentine's Day...and don't forget to write a love note in a pretty card.

    A sweet photo book makes a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift. Commemorate your relationship thus far, or even a memorable vacation or other special event. A 24-page book starts at just $30 but order as soon as possible so it’ll arrive in time.
