It would be a mistake to assume men don’t enjoy receiving gifts on Valentine’s Day. But what’s even worse is assuming that all gifts work for all men. Let’s admit it, shopping for the special guy in your life is never easy, no matter how long you’ve been together. While the most romantic holiday of the calendar year often neglects the male species, there’s no need to let an opportunity to go by in which one can show their love for another. Skip the cliché’ chocolates and check out this list of Tailgater-approved Valentine’s Day gifts for men that would make a great present for just about any man.
Premium Steak Cuts
Gift for: The Meathead
As they say, the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This Valentine’s Day, treat him to something he’ll literally savor. Chicago Steak Company’s Premium Angus Ribeye gives you the option of 8oz, 10oz, 12oz, or 16oz slabs which have been aged from four to six weeks to achieve peak flavor and tenderness. The unique marbling in a Ribeye is what allows it to slowly melt and baste the meat throughout the cooking process which creates a rich, juicy texture.
Pro Tip: Go the extra mile and offer to cook it for him! But don’t grill this type of meat—due to the high fat content, it runs a higher risk of being dried out quickly from high heat. Instead, pan sear the Ribeye with a small amount of butter. (We are not responsible if this action takes you from girlfriend to wifey status.)
Camping Accessory Kit
Gift for: The Natural Adventurer
Your outdoorsy dude will love the RoverTac Camping Multitool. It’s a heavy-duty, compact toolkit containing 14 different tools, including a hammer, axe, knife blade, Phillips’s screwdriver, and more. The durable handheld tool is strong enough to cut, pry, twist the screw, open fire hydrant, and saw wood. The black nylon belt case includes a blade sheath on the axe, which makes carrying it around safe and secure. Not only does the case have the stitched belt loop tool but also has a strap with a solid snap with additional hook and loop Velcro underneath the snap, so there is no risk of losing or damage. Each blade is fastened in and rests against the top position when in use.
