The Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Men
Whether it’s your boyfriend or husband, or, frankly, just men in general, buying the special man in your life can be a real minefield. Like what’s on their wish list? What products do they actually use on a daily basis? What brands does he like? Who! Gone mad! Knows! Fear not, though, because here at Cosmo we do *know* a thing or two about gift ideas for guys, and we’re all sharing our professional shopping tips ahead of Valentine’s Day. Here is our main list of the best gifts for men in India, below.
Oh, and don’t think for a second that we’ve included some ugly ties that he’s about to toss deep into his closet. No no no. Here are some thoughtful gift ideas that she will love to use again and again. You’ll find cozy, hug-worthy pieces (like hoodies you can “borrow” later) and stylish accessories (like purses for her phone) that don’t require a gift receipt. P.S. If the guy you’re shopping for already has too many clothes, we’ve also added a couple of outdoor gear and some affordable tech gadgets to give away.
