There is a common myth that men are hard to buy for, as apparently we all just go around buying all the things we want, all the time. This is untrue, and it's also incredibly easy to buy for the guy in your life. The answer is simple: sword. Buy them a sword and they'll be so happy you'll probably never need to buy them anything ever again, you will have completed gift-giving, and Valentine's Day will simply become a thing of the past.
But wait, I hear you gasp, he will most certainly injure himself or someone else if I give him a sword! Maybe, but I can work with that. May I present the best Valentine's Day gift for men: The Cold Steel Blunt Training Sword. This is 34" of virtually unbreakable polypropylene and is the path to happiness for all gentlemen. It's currently down to $23.10 at Amazon, which is almost $17 off its MSRP of $39.99, and it's worth every dollar. We ride at dawn.
Best Valentine's Day Gift for Men in 2024
I won't claim this as an original idea, however, as I most certainly remember an AskReddit thread that had plenty about a man's love for a sword gift. For the life of me, I can't find it, so let me know if you spot it and I'll ensure it's credited. To clarify, they mentioned swords on Reddit, but I found the Cold Steel Training Sword on sale all by myself. If that's a no-go, consider The Legend of Zelda Master Sword instead for $34.99 instead.
