These following five items are unique suggestions (in no particular order) that I highly recommend as Valentine’s Day presents for the special man in your life. Even better, some of these are cheap enough that you can give more than one to your boyfriend/hubby/partner!

1.) Aged Oak and Leather Scented Candle by Cruseau: $34.98

Now, you might be thinking that a candle is a little too feminine to buy for your man, but in this case you couldn’t be more wrong!

After all, what’s more manly than your guy claiming his place as his own with the aid of a smooth, masculine scent? And just because he’s a man doesn’t mean that his place needs to reek like a high school boy’s locker room. Anyone else tired of Axe and Old Spice?

Then you’re on the right track.

With hints of oak and leather (obviously), but also spice, cedar, vetiver and musk, this artisanal candle is exactly what you need to help your significant other make a mature, age-appropriate statement.

You can also feel good about getting your guy a truly unique gift, because this candle is made only in small batches (so snap yours up fast!) and completely by hand from start to finish.

As an incredible bonus, once the candle is burned down, the container is made to be used as a drinking glass (specifically a whiskey glass) so you get the most use for your buck. It also comes with a free matching coaster and matchbox, because extra goodies are always fun.

I don’t know about you, but catching the exotic scent of a guy always captures my interest, and with this unique candle you can ensure your partner’s place smells great and reminds you of them all day long. Romantic, no?

2.) Netflix Membership: $7.99-$11.99

Do you know why watching movies has been a go-to date idea for decades? Because it’s always a romantic, enjoyable experience!

And now it’s easy to have instant access to such pleasurable date nights with a Netflix membership.

Netflix allows you to stream unlimited movies and tv shows on your laptop, tv, phone, or tablet, all for $7.99 under the Basic membership. Or, if you want access to high-definition (HD) streaming or want to watch on more than one screen at a time, you can upgrade to a Standard membership for $8.99 or a Premium membership (the highest tier) for $11.99.

Not wholly convinced yet? Then you can try out Neflix for free for 1 month. Check it out here.

A Netflix membership is a great present for both you and him (like I said, date night, anyone?), with the side benefit of letting him marathon his favorite shows on his own time.

3.) Astro External Battery Pack by Anker: $19.99

This item might be self-explanatory, but I’ll describe what it does really quickly anyway: when you’re on the go and don’t have access to an outlet, you plug your device into the charged power pack to recharge your phone or tablet. Easy, right?

Now on to more details that you really want to know.

Smaller than an iPhone 4, this little guy still packs an incredible punch. It can charge an Android or Apple smartphone one to three times and an iPad Mini up to 80 percent. For those of you who don’t have any context to compare that to, that’s very impressive for a charger “the size of a small candy bar.”

And at just under $20, this product is definitely worth buying for your guy, especially if he’s an outdoorsman or traveler. After all, who wants to worry about being tied down to an outlet all the time? Nobody, that’s who.

Even more importantly, with this magnificent product, you and your man can chat all day long without worrying about running out of battery!

4.) Amazon Prime/Amazon Prime Student Membership: $99/$50

I’m a big fan of practical gifts, and it doesn’t get any more practical than an Amazon Prime membership. That’s because Amazon sells basically everything and Prime allows you to enjoy all it has to offer, just with extra awesome advantages like free 2-day shipping.

In addition to free 2-day shipping (which honestly has attracted my support for Amazon even on its own), Amazon Prime also gives you access to tons of free stuff, like thousands of e-books, unlimited music, movie, and tv streaming, and unlimited cloud photo storage.

If you’re still on the fence about making such a relatively expensive purchase, you can try a 30-day free trial here.

Or, if you and your man are students, Amazon offers a wonderful Amazon Prime Student membership, which gives you all the same benefits but at half the price of a regular Amazon Prime membership (normally $99). You can try a free 6-month trial of Amazon Prime Student here.

So, if your guy is the type to want to have his cake and eat it too, then an Amazon Prime membership is the perfect present.

5.) Craft Beer Club of the Month Membership: $39/shipment

Another membership?” you might ask. Yes, but don’t think this is any less awesome just because of that. In fact, this membership might be even more rewarding than the Netflix and Amazon Prime memberships simply because you can drink the rewards of this one!

This is the perfect gift for your man if he loves a good brew and is looking to try new ones all the time.

Craft Beer Club membership means you get 12 or 24 craft beers (from breweries across the country, even) shipped to you per month, every other month, or quarterly.

And unlike some other monthly beer club memberships, the Craft Beer Club doesn’t charge you for shipping the beer. What’s also cool is that, contrary to some other beer clubs, you can cancel the membership at any time so you’re not stuck paying for all those beers you (or your guy) don’t want if he changes his mind.

These are just a few of the gifts I recommend you think about giving to your man for Valentine’s Day.
