A five senses gift can be easily customized to your man, but here are a few fun ideas to get you thinking what your guy might like…

  • Smell (his favorite cologne or shower gel, and you wearing his favorite perfume)
  • Touch (DIY Massage Oil + a massage from you!)

Chrissy writes: “One year I wrote everything that I loved about him on hearts. I then put them all over the bedroom wall. They stayed up for a couple of months.”

Cristi writes: “One year when my husband and I were just dating, I made him a Valentine’s day card with candy bars. You write out a cute love note or poem, and tape or glue the candy bars into each sentence.

For example “You make me turn into “Butterfingers” when you’re around!” You can use all kinds of cute sayings using Snickers, Hugs n Kisses, Hershey Kisses, Almond Joy, etc… It was the hit at his office!!”

Teresa writes: “We gave up buying Chocolate Covered Strawberries a few years ago. We make them together, have more fun, and save a ton!”

Heather writes: “One year I took a deck of playing cards and wrote out 52 reasons that I love my husband. It was a lot of fun.”

Tina writes: “One year when my husband and I were just dating, I got a dozen red roses from the local Walmart (if you buy them the weekend before they are usually cheaper). I removed one of the roses and replaced it with a fake rose.

In the card I wrote something special, then I put “Our love will end when the last rose dies”. He automatically asked me if there was a fake one in there! 8 years later and he still has the fake rose.

As for a recipe, you can never go wrong with a man meal! A nice steak, baked potato, green beans (or other vegs) and his favorite roll. You can either make chocolate covered strawberries ahead so they are in the fridge and cool before dessert or you can fondue it.

Make it fun and have different fruits (strawberries, bananas, pineapples, etc) and make it where the two of you can make something yummy for each other.”

Amy writes: “One year, after the kids went to bed, I fixed a snack of cheese, crackers, chocolate covered strawberries (that I had made up ahead of time and chilled in the fridge), and other fruit for us. I also had a chilled bottle of sparkling grape juice that I poured into wine glasses. We shared this snack while watching a movie together… cheap and cozy.”

Anna writes: “What about a little Valentine Coupon Book for your significant other, for things that they love? (i.e. back rubs, favorite meal, 1 hour of remote time with no complaints, a night out with the boys with no interruptions, etc.)

Or how about this idea: One year I bought a huge foil heart and wrote “I love you” in as many different languages as I could locate on the internet. The time spent was appreciated. If you live in a cold climate: ice skating is adventurous and will always make good memories or even snow sledding if there’s snow on the ground.”

Anne writes: “What about the 14 days of Valentines instead of the 12 days of Christmas. You could leave a Valentine somewhere for him to find each day leading up to Valentine’s Day! You could pick up individual candies to include with the valentines or personalized coupons all culminating with Valentine’s Day.”

Patti writes: “My husband loves Brownies. One year I bought a dozen fake roses, cheap, then took the heads off. I made a batch of brownies and used a cookie cutter cut out 12 hearts.

I carefully pushed them onto the empty stems and wrapped them in red clear paper. He got a dozen roses that he could really enjoy. Easy and fun!”

Heart Shaped Brownies

Jodie writes: “This year for Valentine’s day the budget is tight, so I got this great idea from a customer of mine. She buys a whole pineapple or two, then slices it thick.

Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, she cuts out pieces and then dips them in chocolate. You then put them on a skewer and make a beautiful edible arrangement. I am also going to use strawberries, they are his favorite.”

Sarah writes: “I’m filling a mason jar with love coupons on heart shaped paper.”

Sandra writes: “I like making strawberry rosebud bouquets. First, I wrap skewers with floral tape. Then I dip the strawberries in either chocolate or melted candy (pink or red) and stick them on the skewers.
Put them in a vase filled with greenery (or even just the shredded basket filler) and you’re done. So cute and delicious!”

And finally… Kendall writes: “This year, for my non-mushy man, I’m making him a marshmallow sh*oter – and one for myself, too, so we can battle it out!”
