For some, gifting on Valentine’s Day is a must. And if you’re hoping to go beyond a box of chocolates and thoughtful card, deciding on a present for your other half can feel daunting. When you’ve run out of ideas and are tasked with gifting the person who wants “nothing,” it’s easy to give up. The truth is: shopping for a loved one should never be stressful. Don’t fall into the trap! Subscribe to our daily newsletter for the latest in hair, beauty, style and celebrity news. With another Valentine’s Day deadline looming, subscription boxes are your easiest bet and make any excuse you can conjure up invalid. They’re mostly inexpensive, curated for specific interests and don’t require wrapping paper–voila!  There are literally hundreds of services to choose from, but any of these are sure to keep him entertained beyond February 14: 
01
Birchbox Man
Birchbox is considered the “OG” of subscription boxes, so its expansion to mens-focused products is unsurprising. For $20/month or $110/6 months, he’ll receive a customized box of four grooming samples and one lifestyle item. This is a win for the man in desperate need of a bathroom routine.
