The days leading up to February 14 — particularly if you have someone special to shop for — can be stressful. To help guide your gifting and save you time (so you can get a leg up on planning your romantic itinerary instead), we put together 17 perfect presents for stylish guys. They run the gamut, from dive watches to leather wallets, from turntables to musky scents. There's bound to be something he'll love in the list to follow.
You're not going to find much better-looking headphones for under $150. These are a steal as far as style is concerned. As for sound, theirs is backed by a 4.3-out-of-5-star rating on Amazon. That's not bad at all.
If you want to buy something premium, you won't go wrong with Master & Dynamic's revered cans.
LSTN Troubadours Zebra Wood On-Ear Headphones, $149.99.
Put the tickets to Governor's Ball or his favorite comedian you got him inside a sweet card. Presentation is everything.
Hammerpress 'I HEART U' Card, $5.
A good weekend bag will last someone years. Seattle-based Filson makes virtually indestructible ones that look rather handsome, and some of them can double as work bags, too.
Filson 48-Hour Duffel, $395.
Guys don't always think to replace their wallets and phones cases when they start looking a bit worse for wear. There's a good chance your guy's is coming apart at its seams or bulging uncomfortably from his back pocket. Or, maybe it's in some other sad state of affairs.
If that's the case, anything from Bellroy will be a welcome improvement.
Bellroy Leather Slim Sleeve Wallet, $79.95.
Bellroy Leather i6 Phone Case (3 Card), $64.95.
This candle is a great conversation starter, if nothing else. Though, we have it on good authority it smells pretty dope, too.
(MALIN+GOETZ) Cannabis Candle, $52.
If you two have got a tropical vacation planned for President's Day weekend, hook him up with these sleek aviator sunglasses from Ray-Ban. Swimsuits are another option to consider.
Ray-Ban Aviator Metal Sunglasses, $150.
Dopp kits are great for travel; this kit is rendered in soft wool with a suede side handle and logo patch. It just looks good.
RVCA Travel Kit, $30.
Denim startup Mott & Bow lacks the name recognition of more established labels you've come to trust — Levi's, Joe's, and Citizens of Humanity, for example. But it's quickly gaining a following among men for its "meticulously handcrafted" and "ridiculously comfortable" designer-quality jeans. We're fans, and we bet the stylish guy in your life will be, too.
Mott & Bow Mosco Straight Jean (Dark Blue), $96, available at Mott & Bow.
Listening to vinyl records is popular again. If your S.O.'s been wanting to get into the hobby, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60 is a simple, well-received introduction to the turntable concept. It sounds great, it cleans up nicely, and using it is as easy as plugging in, popping in a record, and hitting start.
For beginners: Audio Technica AT-LP60, $96.98.
A step up: Audio-Technica AT-LP120, $247.
The more you're willing to spend on a timepiece, the more impressive it will probably be. That's just common sense. If you have some cash to burn, Seiko watches look great on a wrist. If $300-plus gifts are barking up the wrong tree (at least this year), we also have more affordable options to shop.
Seiko Dive Watch, $314.95.
Enhance his already-great pheromones with Hugo Boss' musky scent.
Hugo Boss BOSS The Scent, $85 for 3.3 oz.
If he'd like to make the act of photo taking a little more personal, the Snap is a relatively affordable way to do so. All three of its shooting modes — standard, black and white, and a washed-out “vintage” mode — give it, perhaps inadvertently, something akin to the 80s-style feel its predecessors used to put out.
Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera, $99.99.
The backbone of a good wardrobe, underwear gets the most wear and the least love of anything else in most guy's closets. This Valentine's Day, it's up to you to change that. For what it's worth, we recommend startup Mack Weldon's selection of boxers, briefs, sock, and undershirts — they're the refresh his underwear drawer so desperately needs, and they've received stellar reviews across the board.
Mack Weldon Alvy Gift Set, $98.
