Cool & Unique Valentine’s Day Gifts For Boyfriends
1TriggerPoint Impact Percussion Massage Gun
TriggerPoint is a brand that has an excellent reputation in the recovery market, especially its foam rollers. Its Impact Percussion Massage Gun is no exception. The three-speed gun maxes out at a speedy 3,300 ppm, giving it a range of experiences from a relaxing massage to a rough-yet-effective deep tissue recovery session.
The real perks with this massager are the quiet use and the weighted head. At the lower two settings, our tester was able to listen to the television without turning on subtitles (a first for our tester). At max power, our tester had to raise the volume a bit, but dialogue was still clearly audible. The weighted head is a revelation. The top-heavy nature of the massager allows users to apply more pressure without added force. The result? A deeper massage without added effort.
It only comes with one head, versus the multiple massage heads you’ll find on other massage tools, but the one head is extremely versatile. At around $200, it sits squarely in the middle of the price range for massage guns, but its quiet use, weighted head, and durable design make it feel like a bargain. Read the in-depth review here.

2Viking Revolution Activated Charcoal Soap
While not all men like extensive grooming routines, all men like a good old-fashioned soap. If your guy prefers traditional grooming products, we highly recommend the Viking Revolution Activated Charcoal Soap. This is one of our tester’s favorite soaps of all time as it works both for the face and body and it’s made of natural, gentle but effective ingredients. Oh, and it smells great – mild, pleasant, and perfectly clean. Just what your typical man (and most women) likes.
The Viking Revolution Charcoal Soap also lathers really well, and best of all, since it’s made of black activated charcoal, it can help reduce blackheads. Basically, it acts as a cleansing mud mask, but as our tester points out, it’s actually better because with it, there’s no risk of suffering the “mortification of having your buddies walk in on you wearing a mud facial mask and cucumber slices on your eyes.” Interested in a full review?

4Christian Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette
Okay, we know that taste is subjective and that there is no such thing as “the best” perfume or cologne for all men, but this one right here – the Sauvage by Dior – is possibly the most flattering fragrance for all men and all situations. With key notes of bergamot and black pepper, middle notes of lavender, pink pepper, vetiver, and base notes of ambroxan, cedar and labdanum, this sensual fragrance is alluring but also “safe” – great for both romantic dates and work events.
Great-smelling and aimed at the majority of perfume-wearing men (in other words, one needn’t be a fragrance connoisseur to appreciate it), this is one of the safest, best perfumes for men on the market, and a fantastic gift for Valentine’s Day. Long-lasting and inspired by wild open spaces, this Eau de Toilette is pretty much guaranteed to be appreciated by men of all ages.
