Here's a Foolproof List of Valentine's Day Gifts for Him

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There are five different types of love languages: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. Most people fall into one, if not two or more, of the categories. Knowing what your love languages are, and what your partner prefers, will be immensely helpful especially when it comes to buying presents. After all, there's no point in looking for Valentine's Day gifts for him or a present for his birthday if he's not into receiving physical items. Perhaps you're better off taking him to his favorite restaurant for dinner?

Meanwhile, for the guy who doesn't mind a thoughtful gift from his loved one, we found so many options to shower him with on February 14 and beyond. For the sentimental partners who wear their hearts on their sleeves, go the DIY route with personalized scratch-off vouchers, a plate featuring his favorite photo, or a custom birthday book from The New York Times. Take his hobbies into consideration, too, when purchasing the item. For foodies, we recommend this make your own hot sauce kit, and for the cigar collector, this glassware will be right up his alley.
