Valentine's Present Ideas for Your Boyfriend
On Valentine's Day, presenting your boyfriend with a thoughtful present will show him you care. Purchasing a commercial Valentine's Day present, such as a stuffed animal or chocolate box, might make the gift seem less heartfelt. Opt for something less typical to surprise your boyfriend and show him you were thinking of his personal likes and dislikes.

Massage
-
Surprise your boyfriend with a massage for Valentine's Day. A massage is not a tangible gift, but your boyfriend is sure to appreciate it and remember the day for years to come. Prepare an area on the floor or on a bed for him to lie down and have massage oil handy. Avoid using lotion as it causes extra friction when it dries up, burning your boyfriend's skin. Begin massaging his shoulders and work down his entire back. If your hands are not sore, move on to massaging his arms, hands, legs and feet before finishing.
Silk Underwear
-
Purchase your boyfriend a pair of silk underwear for Valentine's Day. Select his favorite type of underwear; some men prefer to wear boxers while others prefer to wear briefs. If you select the wrong type, he might place your present in a drawer and never wear them. Silk underwear is an indulgence that many men never experience. While your man might find your present silly at first, encourage him to try them on and he will appreciate the gift. If he really enjoys the one pair you purchased, it opens an opportunity to present him with more at another time.

Personalized Watch
-
Gift your boyfriend a personalized watch on Valentine's Day. A watch is a practical gift that will remind him of you every time he wears it. Take the watch you purchase for him to a professional engraver and have a short, personal message inscribed onto the back of it. Keep the gift affordable by purchasing the watch from a department store, and then take it to a separate store for the engraving. Specialty stores that personalize watches on site are typically more expensive.
Treasure Chest
-
Present your boyfriend with a wooden chest full of sweet treats. The treasure chest will remind him of you whenever he reaches for a piece of candy. When the candy is all gone and the chest is empty, he can use it to store other belongings, such as his wallet and keys. As a personal touch, purchase a wood burner from a craft store and inscribe his name onto the front. If your boyfriend is not a fan of candy and sweets, fill the chest with trail mix or granola.
