Todd Snyder’s Nomad Boots are the platonic ideal of a do-everything Chukka, set on cloud-like foam above a 12mm premium rubber sole and finished with a handcrafted Italian suede upper. Plus, if you do presents pre-dinner, he might actually make it into the obligatory V-Day IG grid post this year.

Subtle, sensual and perfectly musky, Santal 33 is the cream de la creme of Le Labo’s suite of luxurious scents, and a perfectly intoxicating cologne to don for special occasions. It’s also ridiculously expensive, meaning he probably won’t buy it for himself — that’s where you come in.

A modern nod the original 1966 Zodiac Aerospace GMT, this a timepiece that watch fanatics and deserving partners alike should be able to get behind.

Much like your feelings for that special someone, this Fislon Computer Bag is virtually indestructible, standing the test of sickness and health with its industrial-strength twill and saddle-grade bridle leather.

There’s nothing wrong with giving him something he’ll actually use. An upgraded fit, instantaneous connection and hours upon hours of battery life make the MagSafe AirPod Pros Apple’s best in-ears yet.

Speaking of MagSafe charging, Nomad’s smooth magnetic walnut Base Station Hub is the envy of every design enthusiast and guy who loses his phone a lot.
