Valentine gifts for teenage guys take a little extra work. Men of any age are hard to find the perfect gift for, and teenage guys are almost impossible to buy gifts for, especially if you have romantic intentions. But you can get inspired by these ideas.
Gift Certificates
If you feel as if you let him pay for dinner too much, this is a perfect time to help even the score. Gift certificates may seem a little cold, but the fact is they almost always are appreciated. What's more, they almost always get used. There are not many gifts you can say that about. So go to his favorite restaurant and get a gift card to help pay for a dinner or two.
A gift certificate doesn't always have to be food- or date-focused, though. While you could give him something like a gift certificate to a local movie theatre, you could also go to his favorite shoe store. Let him go out and buy the pair of sneakers he's been saving for or the hat he wanted to replace. It may not be romantic, but it shows the caring effort all the same, and you don't have to worry that he'll return the item if you bought it yourself.
Pajamas
If you're looking for slightly more intimate Valentine's gift ideas for men, try nice pajamas. While a little cliché, a truly soft and wonderful pair of PJs almost always comes in handy. Try those ultra-soft, fuzzy PJ pants that almost every store sells. If your guy isn't the pajamas type, try some high-quality boxers or briefs. Silk can make ordinary boxers so much better.
Candy
Even guys love sweets, including chocolate. If your boyfriend has a sweet tooth, think about creating a candy gift basket for him. Steer clear of anything too cutesy, and go with gourmet chocolates or nuts. Think about baking some cookies or sweet breads yourself to include in the gift. If he has a favorite candy bar or jelly bean flavor, then stock up on it.
Subscriptions
If your boyfriend is into cars, bikes or hiking, try following that interest to a relevant magazine. Get him a year's subscription to a magazine he'd love as a Valentine's gift. It will remind him of you each time it's delivered, read or even noticed on a table.
