Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc Variety Pack
Chocolates are often a welcome Valentine’s gift, but why not switch up this classic gift? Instead of the traditional chocolate treats in a heart-shaped box, give your sweetheart something with a little heat. Made from coarsely ground cacao, sugar, and cinnamon, these discs also typically contain chiles, nuts, and spices. There are so many different varieties out there, so pick up this Chocolate Organic Mexicano Sampler. It has eight different flavors, including chipotle chili and guajillo chili.
Valentine’s Pajama Pants
Why not get snuggly for Valentine’s Day? These cozy flannel Hearts Jogger Pajama Pants will do the trick. And although he’ll be wearing his heart on his legs for Valentine’s, these pajama pants will still be a lovable choice for plenty of lazy weekends after the holiday has passed.
Craft Beer Variety Pack
Trying to find the perfect gift may be as simple as picking up a few brews. These days, plenty of brewing companies have started making variety packs. Think of it as a heart-shaped box of chocolates, but with beers instead. Local stores are sure to have a few variety packs on the shelves, or go straight to the source and check with local breweries near you. Bonus points if it’s from his favorite! If all else fails, retailers like Total Wine & More offer shipping to eligible addresses.
Sexy Truth or Dare
Everyone has played Truth or Dare at least once, right? Why not gift your partner this grown-up version? This couple’s version of the classic game is… slightly racier. Sexy Truth or Dare comes with 50 double-sided pick-up sticks – that means it includes 100 racy seductions. Will you pick truth or dare?
Make Your Own Guitar Pick Punch
This one is for the partners that play music. I think it’s a really cool gift idea. This nifty little tool cuts guitar picks from unwanted plastic. Just stick expired credit cards, old IDs, or other similar plastic items into this Guitar Pick Punch, and voila! You now have an endless supply of guitar picks. Plus, it helps upcycle all that old plastic.

It is also a fact that this tiny desktop Wacky Wavy Mini Tube Guy will make your partner laugh. Gift him one of these to make the workday a little more fun!
Create Your Own Reel Viewer
Speaking from experience here, the Create Your Own Reel Viewer is a really cool, unique gift. I gave one to my partner and he thought it was the best gift in the world. View Masters might be old school, but they’re still really awesome and they bring a heavy dose of nostalgia. However, this one in particular comes with a redemption code! The recipient uses the code to have their very own photos turned into a custom reel. It’s way more awesome than a regular photo album!
Happily Date Box
There is a subscription box for just about anything, and now there’s a subscription box for date night. As per the website, it’s “a fun, romantic date experience planned for you and delivered to your front door every month.” This is a great way to spend quality time with the love of your life, even if you’re both too busy to plan anything. The Happily Date Box has you fill out a questionnaire to understand your personalities, and your likes and dislikes. From there, you get a surprise, completely planned date night every month.

They also come in eucalyptus peppermint, which can help relieve sinus pressure.

First of all, how cute is this speaker! It’s not just a looker, either. This little guy will also play tunes because it’s Bluetooth-enabled. If you feel like taking it old school, the Crosley Tribute Bluetooth Radio Speaker can play wired via auxiliary cable. Or, take it super old school, because it also has an AM/FM radio. Its small size means that your partner can fit it in just about anywhere, from a nightstand to a desk at work.
Mahli Himalayan Salt Sunrise Alarm Clock
If your honey has a hard time getting up in the morning, this alarm clock might help. Your partner will rise and shine with rejuvenated vibes as this Himalayan Salt Sunrise Alarm Clock simulates the sunrise. It’s much more pleasant than that annoying beeping, right?
