Best Valentine’s gifts for him on Etsy from real makers
These are the Valentine’s gifts for men that we know the men in our own lives would love, but they’re certainly not only for men. Feel free to gift them any way you’d like!
Homemade Red Velvet Valentine’s Whoopie Pies
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach (mine too if we’re going to be honest), these heart-shaped whoopie pies hold a lot of love. Handmade in Pennsylvania, they make a delicious Valentine’s gift for him from a real bakery.

Personalized Whiskey Glass Engraved with Your Own Handwriting
Buy him a fab bottle of whiskey (may we recommend Uncle Nearest?) or even the whiskey making kit (below) for an extra-special Valentine’s gift for him, but we bet he’d love the glass all on its own. Even If he’s drinking water, the engraved message is what matters.

DIY Whiskey Making Kit

We’ve been recommending Beehive Handmade going back 15 years! Their handmade pewter heart-shaped collection on Etsy is perfect for a Valentine’s gift for him if he bakes — or just loves his java.
(Their heart-shaped teaspoons featured here are pretty great too.)

“Good Morning, Handsome” Coffee Spoon Plus Morning Quickie Coffee Breakfast Blend
Let him know you still love waking up next to him with a positive affirmation to go with his coffee. I’d add in a bag of the cheeky “Morning Quickie” coffee from Rising Cock Coffee which gets fantastic reviews for taste and, as you might have guessed, humor.
