If you spent too much money during the holidays, don’t worry, because you can still get your guy something nice. This list has something for every type of guy out there.
{Don’t Overspend For Christmas 2016: Practical Ways to Start Saving for Christmas Now!}
I’m always on the lookout for a few things when finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts for the hubs:
- Practicality: Even though it’s Valentine’s Day, I’m not really into buying frivolous gifts that look cool but that can’t be used, which is why practicality is such a big deal.
- Price: We’re working on a budget, and you probably are too, so price is incredibly important. This list has gifts ranging from $10 to over $100, so no matter your budget, you can get your guys something cool for Valentine’s Day.
- Ingenuity: We’ve all given socks and ties, maybe even pocket knives, but these gifts will appeal to your guy on a whole different level as well as look good and do what they’re meant to do.
Some of these are cheap gifts, starting at about $10, while others are more expensive gifts. Make sure that before you buy a single gift you have decided on your budget and you’re sticking to it!
I’ve divided up this gift guide into 3 sections: Cheap, Cheaper, and Cheapest, so you can choose the gifts which fit your budget and that your guy will like.

Besides that, have fun! Valentine’s Day is such a fun time of year!

Chillsner
Cold Beer. It’s a magical thing. It brings people together, helps them relax, gives “liquid courage”, and is a regular sidekick for many of the good times in your life. That sidekick is to be celebrated.
As much as beer represents these dynamic aspirational things in our lives, it can be finicky. When beer gets too warm, it is harsh, brutal, and generally difficult to drink. In an effort to keep beer time as it should be, we invented the Chillsner. One should not feel pressure to chug a perfectly crafted brew in order to avoid the downside of a warm beer. Beer should be respected and enjoyed at whatever pace is ideal for its consumer.
Warm beer is both a literal and metaphorical buzz kill. We wanted drinkers of a beer to have an effective way to continue to enjoy the experience of drinking beer that was both functionally effective and aesthetically interesting and beautiful (in a “beer” kind of way).
Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge
Oh my, this is cool, and maybe another gift that I want for myself.
The Corkcicle is a Whiskey glass with a slanted silicone ice form that allows him (or you!) to enjoy her favorite drink slightly chilled without watering it down. To use it, just freeze water in the glass with the silicone mold inserted. Ice will form in the shape of a wedge on one side of the glass!
The perfect gift for whiskey lovers!

Wooden Bottle Openers
These very manly-looking Wooden Bottle Openers are made of solid rubber wood and have contoured handles, making them the perfect addition to any bar. Thy are all identical and have a smooth, sanded handle that makes opening bottle after bottle a breeze!
The bottle openers are designed to not only let you easily open bottles without any slippage and plenty of leverage, but they are eco-friendly as well! Rubberwood is the wood of the rubber tree, which is grown as a source for natural rubber. When the trunks of rubber trees are cut, they exude a milky liquid – latex – that is collected and processed to make rubber. After the trees reach about 30 year of age, latex production declines and the tree is replaced with a new one. It used to be that the rubber trees would be cut clear and burnt to make way for the new ones. However, the lumber is no longer burnt, but it is used to make furniture and kitchen woodware. (cutting boards, knife blocks, etc.) The recycled cardboard box contains three identical hand bottle openers with rubber wood handles and high-grade hardened steel hardware.
These bottle openers also come with a lifetime guarantee!
No matter what your guy likes, and what your budget prefers, you can celebrate Valentine’s Day with a present he loves!
