    Atlas Coffee

    Club Gift Subscription

    If your Valentine can’t string a coherent sentence together before they’ve had caffeine, get them a SELF Fave Atlas subscription box. Atlas works with local farmers from all around the world for its coffee-delivery service, so they can try batches of beans from places like Kenya or Colombia. You can even customize the type of coffee samplers they get (like whole bean versus Keurig-compatible pods) and how often each bag arrives.

    Cost: Three-month gift subscriptions cost $60, six-month gift subscriptions cost $109, and 12-month gift subscriptions cost $199.

    Availability: U.S. and Canada

    Tushy

    Mejuri

    Round Box Chain Bracelet

    This bracelet is versatile enough to match—and elevate—just about any guy’s style. The simple, minimalist design also makes it a great intro-to-jewelry piece if they’re just starting their accessory collection.

    Apple

    AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.)

    The AirPods Pro will seriously level-up their earbud experience—the 2nd Gen’s stronger noise cancellation abilities and adaptive audio tech, which automatically tailors noise control to the environment, have made these some of our favorite wireless headphones for workouts, especially at a loud gym. They also have a feature called Conversation Awareness, which senses when you’re trying to talk to someone nearby and responds by lowering the volume and enhancing the voices in front of you. Smart and convenient (probably more so than your partner’s current pair).

    Lelo

    Tor 2

    The beauty of a cock ring is how easy it is to use—once they pop it on, it’s a hands-free toy. It can make masturbation feel even better, and spice up sex for both of you. This one has six vibration patterns to play around with and it’s made with silicone that’s waterproof and easy to clean.

    Nekteck

    Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager

    Nothing says “I love you” like a seriously good massage. And if you’re in a long-distance relationship and can’t be there to give one, this SELF Fave neck and back massager is a great substitute. It has a relaxing heating function and eight massage nodes to hug their shoulders.

    Brooklinen

    Super-Plush Robe

    If your partner suddenly becomes a robe person when you’re at a hotel, it’s time to get them a high-quality one for home. Reviewers say this option from Brooklinen is absorbent and thick like a bath towel. Plus, it has two roomy pockets so your partner can carry their phone, a book, and maybe even some snacks with them while they migrate from bathroom to couch.

    Available in sizes XS to XL.

    Scotch Porter

    Beard Collection

    These beard grooming products are sort of a present for you, too, according to one SELF staffer—she once bought the gift set for her partner for Valentine’s Day and is “in love with how they smell on him.”

  • 12

    Vincent and Leon Horst

    Whiskey Making Kit

    You can give them a bottle of their favorite whiskey, but a kit that walks them through making their own liquor is a more unique gift idea. It comes with all the alcohol and infusion ingredients you need to make the bev at home, and stainless steel whiskey cubes to keep drinks ice-cold.

  • 13

    Warby Parker

    Downing Sunglasses

    With their round lenses and two-toned tortoiseshell frame, these sunglasses will make anybody feel cool. Plus, you can customize them if your partner needs prescription lenses.

  • 14

    Ugg

    Tasman Slipper

    Cozy slippers are a must-have, especially during this time of year. If your partner’s relying solely on socks to keep their feet warm, get them these extremely soft slides. They’ll look forward to getting out of their day clothes and into their comfies more than ever.

    Available in sizes 7 to 18.

  • 15

    Theragun

    Prime

    After an intense workout, your partner would probably love using a massage gun on their sore muscles. Theragun has five different speed settings and two hours of battery life, so it’ll go a long way in helping them recover more quickly.

    Great Jones

    King Sear

    Once they have this pan, they won’t want to cook with anything else (and they won’t need to, because it’s stovetop- and oven-safe up to 500°F). If your partner would have fun making (and eating) extra-crispy chicken thighs, well-seasoned steaks, caramelized veggies, and Dutch babies, this is the kitchen addition they need.

  • 19

    Sportsheets

    Under the Bed Restraint System

    If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift that’s more specific to Valentine’s Day, this sweet, Mad Libs style book has prompts like, “You deserve the [blank] award” and “You have the greatest taste in [blank]” for you to fill in before you give it to your partner.

    Fellow

    Carter Everywhere Mug

    This tumbler is sleeker than any cup needs to be, honestly. It’s also leak-proof and insulated to keep drinks hot or cold for up to 24 hours—a useful gift for commuters, hikers, or anyone trying to motivate themselves to hydrate more.

    Uncommon Goods

    Make Your Own Chocolate Truffles Kit

    This truffle kit is a more creative way to gift them chocolates for V-day. “I gave this to a guy I was dating who loved baking and we made them as a date night activity. They were easy to make and tasted delicious,” one of SELF’s commerce writers says. You can add a variety of flavors and textures to your truffles with this kit (think coconut, Himalayan sea salt, peppermint, and vanilla).

  • 23

    Shokz

    Open Run

    Shockz use bone conduction technology, which means they sit outside the ears, so users can hear their music and their surroundings at the same time—a major safety perk! “They’re great if you get sweaty and hate earbuds, and super lightweight for any activity—running, lifting weights, hiking, you name it,” says one SELF lifestyle writer, who bought these for her boyfriend. (He ended up loving them!)

  • 24

    Carhartt

    Knit Cuffed Beanie

    A beanie is a cold-weather essential and cool-guy staple. This one has a super wide cuff, so your partner can adjust the fit to be as slouchy or snug as they like.

  • 25

    Visp

    The Elixir Mixer

    If your partner has a daily beverage ritual that they take very seriously, they need this tumbler. It might look like an average to-go cup, but its lid has a built-in frother attachment that’ll blend their matcha, protein, or powdered electrolytes perfectly. It can also add foam to a latte and ensure that sugar doesn’t settle at the bottom. Even if they have a frother at home, this cup allows them to re-mix on the go.

  • 26

    Dior

    Sauvage Shower Wash

    They might not get this high-end body wash for themself, but they’ll love having it every time they shower. One SELF writer says it was a big hit with her boyfriend: “He says it feels super luxe and the scent is really refreshing without being overwhelmingly cologne-y or musky.”

  • 27

    Abercrombie & Fitch

    Essential Popover Hoodie

    We love the idea of a present that refreshes or upgrades an item your giftee uses all the time—it shows how well you know them! This hoodie is a great option if their current sweatshirt has seen better days. Though it fits true to size, the dropped shoulder hem gives the illusion of being oversized and creates a more stylish, relaxed look.

  • 28

    Bear Butt

    Camping Hammock

    We highly recommend getting a hammock (specifically this SELF Outdoor Awards–winning one) so your partner can spend more time outside on nice days—whether they want to lounge, read, or nap.

    Ultimate Movie-Lovers Fill-In Poster

    This film poster is a sweet way to acknowledge their love of movie nights, and it’ll give them some ideas for future ones. It lists 1,500 movies across all different genres, and they can fill in the bubble next to the name of each one they’ve watched.
