    38 First Valentine's Day Gifts That Are Boyfriend-Approved

    From headphones and speakers to PJs and a totally out-of-this-world snow globe, we're here to take off any pressure of that first V-Day gift for your new BF.

    1. A simple corduroy button down, which is too essential to not already be in their wardrobe. It's made of a dreamy blend of wide-wale corduroy and cotton, so it's all softness and no starchiness.

    2. A novelty gift box for the person who wants to spark conversation and make Valentine's day even more special this year. It's chock-full of fun topics that will set you down a path of never-ending chit-chat and laughter.

    3. A Staub cast-iron Dutch oven so the two of you can make homemade meals together. It's an item everyone should have in their kitchen and they'll appreciate its durability.

    4. A Carhartt beanie that'll keep them stylishly warm for the rest of the cold weather. Fair warning: gifting them one of these may start them down the slippery slope of becoming a Carhartt connoisseur.

    5. A Mars dust globe for your favorite space nerd. Not only will they appreciate how cool it looks, they'll love the attention to detail and accurate topography.

    6. A pair of classic lined crocs for someone that values comfort overall. If your boyfriend is always in the comfiest clothes possible, they may just need some slippers to pair with all those outfits.

    7. A five-piece spice gift set so the chef in your life can practice their culinary skills maybe even by making you dinner. It comes with five unique flavors that you can't find at just any grocery store so they definitely won't have it in their pantry already.

    8. An electric kettle that any tea-obsessed BF would appreciate. Just because you can't live without your morning coffee doesn't mean they can't!

    10. An eight-pack of JuneShine hard kombucha that is sure to satisfy the kombucha enthusiast who appreciates a ~specialty something~ to imbibe. This gift is for those 21 and older, but we promise it's worth the wait!

    11. A cocktail smoker for a Valentine that likes their *adult beverages* smokey, oaky, but not pokey (you know, with literal pieces of wood sticking out of their drinks). This way, they can get the smoke without the poke!

    28. A Craft & Kin candle for those who appreciate a little aromatherapy. These candles are famous for their inimitable scents plus they burn at a slow rate so they'll be able to enjoy them longer than you'd imagine.

    29. A set of Bala Bangles so they can work out anywhere. These are great for adding a few extra pounds to increase heart rate when you're on a run and since they're a fairly new favorite on the internet, there's a good chance they don't already have something similar.

    30. A set of bath salts because they probably wouldn't buy them for themself. It takes a lot for some folks to give themselves the self-care they need so why not cut the time in half and give them something they'll definitely appreciate?
