31 Valentine’s Day gifts for him that will make his friends jealous

A weighted blanket

Best for the homebody

Weighted blankets may not be the complete cure for anxiety, but they sure are nice to cuddle with.

Weights range from five to 25 pounds.

A fashionable treat pouch

Best for the pet owner

If they have a pet that’s still in its training phase, it’s a good idea for them to have treats on hand for positive reinforcement.
