Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Man in Your Life

Know What He LikesΒ
Have you ever explored or taken a quiz on yours and your partnerβs βlove languageβ? Thinking about yourΒ love language can give you some insight into how you give and receive love. It can also help you figure out what your partner mightΒ enjoy receiving from you, whether itβs a tangible gift, a coupon for an act of service, or a shared experience.
When you are better able to understand how your partner feels truly loved, you can shift your gift-giving to meet their desires. Another benefit to understanding love language is it opens up conversation and communication with your partner, making relationships stronger. Β

Another way to stay in tune with what your partner would enjoy most is to keep notes throughout the year. Did he express interest in something he saw at the store a few months ago? Is there a hobby he’s mentioned that you think he would enjoy? Making a gift decision right at Valentine’s Day βcrunch time” is hard. WhenΒ I collect ideas for best gifts throughout the year, it makes it much easier.
Pro-Tip: Keep a note on file inΒ your phone, and make sure to name it something you will remember, or pin the note. Add to the file whenever your partner gives youΒ clues about what he might like for a gift. Β

Does your special dude always want to get out of the house into the wilderness to try something new? Give him a gift that sets his adventures up for success.
