Valentine's Day isn't just a time for men to pamper their women (although, we are super excited about that!). It's also a chance to find something special for your husband, father, boyfriend, fiancé, son, grandpa, or friend that shows how much you care and appreciate all that they do. Instead of getting him a cheesy trinket, try instead choosing one of these unique Valentine's Day gift ideas that he will actually be able to use. From festive socks to chocolate-covered bacon to whiskey rocks, there's a gift for every man on your list. If he's a techie, he'll be so happy to get a portable charger he can fit in his pocket. If he's a world traveler, he'll love having a scratch-off map to plan future trips. And, if he's the beer-drinkin' type – he will get lots of mileage out of a personalized wooden beer caddy. There's a Valentine's Day gift on this list for every guy.
