Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Guys

There is really no better gift than a good massage. Perfect for athletes (or people who really like sports), a deep tissue massage will rid you of any stress and help with chronic pain.

Great Jones Spa 60 Minute Deep Tissue/Sports Massage ($151.53)

A full size wallet can be a little cumbersome for guys: we don’t wear purses. A card case is a great option that still keeps things organized but takes up a little less pocket space. This one from Saint Laurent is made from rich navy textured leather. It will break in nicely and the color is more modern than the usual black or brown.

Saint Laurent Classic Paris Card Case ($225)

This simple mask is good for all skin types. Unlike a lot of popular masks, it doesn’t go on green or blue and it doesn’t sting or feel uncomfortable.

Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask ($42)

The mixture of grapeseed and kukui nut oils work together to create a formula for an all-natural clean shave. It smells great too—a combination of balsam, cedarwood and sandalwood. It can be combined with his favorite shaving cream or used alone.

Prospector Co. Miss Annie Jones Shaving Oil ($22)

An illustrated take on Bruce Springsteen from the New York-based label Deer Dana is sure to be a crowd pleaser. A true legend, everyone can agree on The Boss.

This soap has a decidedly manly scent of black peppercorn oil, bergamot and oak moss and does a great job at scrubbing away dead skin cells.

Molton Brown Re-charge Black Pepper Bodyscrub Bar ($22)

Aesop products all smell great. The stores are well designed and not intimidating. So, guys like it. The Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Eye Cream contains vitamins C & E and absorbs into the skin around the eyes quickly, erasing any evidence of a late night.

Headphones have become a sort of fashion statement: lots of bright colors and big logos. This pair from Copenhagen based AIAIAI sound great; they also look cool and sophisticated without being a billboard.

AIAIAI TMA-1 DJ Headphones ($219)

Every man should have a pair of white Vans in their closet. The Era is a classic style usually found in canvas but this leather pair is a nice upgrade—not to mention, they will last a lot longer and smell a little bit better.

Vans Era Premium White Sneakers ($115)

Randolph Engineering handcrafts their glasses in Massachusetts, so quality and durability is not an issue. Gregory Peck wore the P-3 shape in To Kill a Mockingbird. It doesn’t get more classic than that.
