He doesn\u2019t need more Old Spice or another tie. If you want to make his day this Valentine\u2019s Day, give him\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Sex.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, he\u2019d much rather undress you than unwrap anything else! We\u2019ve got a creative and practical way for you to give him his most memorable gift of the year. We\u2019ve just released a new video series for married couples called \u201cBest Sex Life Now\u201d which\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bestsexlifenow.com\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">you can preview by clicking here.<\/a>\u00a0You can\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestsexlifenow.com\/send-gift\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">send this as a gift and add a personalized message by clicking here.<\/a>\u00a0It\u2019s currently <em><strong>50% off through Valentine\u2019s Day<\/strong> <\/em>when you send it as a gift (no code or coupon needed).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bestsexlifenow.com\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1969\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/507\/2015\/01\/4-Twitter-300x150.png\" alt=\"#4 Twitter\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. An experience WITH YOU centered around his favorite hobby or team.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019s into a certain sports team, plan a weekend trip to go see a game with him and explore the city together. Trust me, he\u2019ll be blown away when he opens that gift! Even if you can\u2019t afford to do it right now, plan it for later in the year, but let him \u201copen it\u201d on Valentine\u2019s Day. He\u2019ll look forward to it for months!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Something personalized (but not cheesy).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Men will usually hold onto a gift if it\u2019s practical and personalized.\u00a0A few years ago, my father-in-law got a small metal tub with \u201cMcCray\u2019s Pub\u201d (his last name) etched into it, and he proudly keeps it out on display at all times plus serves ice and drinks out of it every time guests are over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Stuff that celebrates manhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most guys feel like they\u2019re got to put their testosterone on a shelf most days, so give him a gift to let his manliness come out! Whether he\u2019s into tools, or guns, or Duck Dynasty, or sports, or growing a massive beard, or whatever else, give him a gift that shows him that you value what he likes and you celebrate his epic manliness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Date night with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With any special day, the memories you\u2019ll make together are more important than the gifts. Even if you end up on the couch watching Netflix and eating microwave popcorn, just enjoy the time together. The gifts will eventually end up in the trash, but the memories can last for a lifetime.
