4) AirPods
Although it’s not the cheapest gift idea for him, I felt the need to include a higher end gift if you really want to spoil your boyfriend on the national day of love.
If he already has AirPods, you can also get him a cool case to go with it or other accessories that match it!

This is such a cool and useful gift for college guys to keep in their wallet. Not only does it have a million features, but it also is small enough to fit in his wallet for emergencies.

This tray is designed to make him feel like a man with intention. The intention to succeed and keep his life together.
7) Phone Charging Bracelet

It might be time to change scents, or at least add one more to his collection.
Every guy has their own special taste in cologne, but this is a personal favorite cologne of mine in case you’re lost!
9) Pillow Upgrade
In college, nothing is more important than sleep. Your boyfriend deserves to get the best sleep of his life and wake fully rejuvenated every morning.
Upgrade his pillow with a brand new one that offers the most support a man can get during his restless nights.
10) Workout Gear
There’s nothing more valuable than motivation and support from a partner. Workout gear will motivate your man to continue pushing in the gym or even start a new hobby.
Exercise should be a lifestyle, not a one time thing, and he’ll know that more than ever with some sweet new workout gear.

Ever heard the saying, “A dog is a man’s best friend”? Yeah, well that’s a lie. His car is.
