When it comes to celebrating Valentine's Day, there are a couple of approaches out there. There are the "it's a Hallmark holiday so why do anything?" people. There is the "this is the most romantic day of the year and everything MUST BE AMAZING!" crowd. And then there are a whole bunch of couples that probably land somewhere in the middle, where Valentine's Day means something like romantic take-out dinner, some hopefully heartfelt exchanges of cards and gifts, and maybe even a little special make-out session at the end of the day.
Judging by television commercials, Valentine's Day gifts are usually just for women and are some combination of chocolate, flowers, and overpriced jewelry. While most moms like a present (even if it is a grocery store bouquet and a box of chocolates), we think it is time to celebrate the man with a hot dad bod in our lives this year, too! Love is a two-way street and why shouldn't the guys filling out those sexy gray sweatpants get something that highlights their hotness this Valentine's Day? And if these gifts show love for Mr. Sexy Gray Sweatpants while also making our lives a bit easier, sexier, or more fun, well, that's just a little Valentine's Day bonus!
Gray Sweatpants
First things first: No dad's wardrobe is complete without a pair of gray sweatpants. Women have lingerie to flaunt their assets, men have gray sweatpants, which are perfect for showing off a pinchable butt and looking sexy as he takes out the recycling. Bonus points for being comfortable for any hot dad bod, which is good because hot dad bods come in all sizes!
A Manly Candle
$26.5
from
Bath & Body Works
A candle in a manly scent (no florals or baked good smells here) is both romantic and practical. Romantic, because every body looks sexier in candle light. Practical, because, well, sometimes a woman just needs the sexy man that she loves to LIGHT A CANDLE IN THERE after one of those dad bathroom trips that somehow lasts 35 minutes.
Something Slippery
One of the best ways to show love for a hot dad bod is to get naked and frisky! Everyone knows that some good lube can take sex from OK to amazing, so why not gift him the No. 1 bestseller on Amazon? Please note that it comes in sizes from 8 ounces (very normal) to 275 gallons (a size that leaves us with more questions than answers, really), so plenty of fun to be had with this condom- and toy-safe lube!
Peloton Bike+
Is $2,400 a lot to spend on a Valentine's Day gift? Well, yes, obviously. But nothing says "I love you and want you around for a long time" like a gift that promotes good health. And, while he might be happy to ride along to Jess King (she is rather popular with some riders for two bouncy reasons), the bike includes multiple memberships so others in the house can enjoy the particular charms of Denis, Alex, and Adrian (Google "Peloton Adrian" and tell us we're wrong, go on …)
Sexy Apron
What makes an apron sexy? First, it's all about what's underneath it, especially if the answer is nothing at all. Second, it's about how cute his butt will look while he unloads the dishwasher and cleans those kitchen counters while wearing only an apron. Or at least that is the story we'll tell about what turns us on, if he wonders why he's getting an apron with a bottle of lube tucked into the pocket!
Supportive Underwear
Here's a good trade for Valentine's Day: he gets a fancy pair of supportive boxer briefs (that apparently have an "ergonomic front pouch" that "provides added lift and support") and in exchange all he has to do is get rid of at least one pair of the ratty old underwear that isn't doing his dad bod any favors. The fact that nobody else will ever have to see those old dingy gray unders ever again is just a bonus, right?
A Rake
Will he fall for a story about how deeply sexy he looks when he is doing yard work? Hard to say, but there is really only one way to find out! Give him a rake, tell him that you have a fantasy about having sex with a strong gardener, and see how it goes. It could result in both a tidy yard and some good loving!
A Book Club for Two
A book might not seem like the best way to celebrate his body on Valentine's Day, but Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life is a game changer for a lot of couples. Better understanding how, why, and when women experience sexual desire might just lead to more and better sex, which is a win for all involved.
A Crisp White Shirt
From
$19.99
to $44.06
from
Land's End
Sometimes the sexiest parts of a man's body can be somewhat unexpected, like how hot it can be to see a guy role up his shirt sleeves and flash a little forearm action our way! This Land's End option is also wrinkle-free, so he never has to worry about burning himself with the iron or looking unpolished from the waist up for those video calls while working from home!
Babywearing Vest
There are few things in life as hot as a dad wearing his baby. This vest is designed to wear over a baby carrier, keeping both dad and baby cozy and warm for a winter or early spring walk. So, he could look cute carrying the baby, feel stylish and warm in the vest, and a mom could maybe take a quick nap while they take a walk? SOLD!
Cocktail Kit
A cocktail making kit is a Valentine's Day gift that does double duty. Not only does he get to have fun channeling his inner bartender, he might just feel compelled to whip someone else up a tasty cocktail at the end of the day. And who doesn't like flirting with a cute bartender?
Dad Bod Fuel
$26.99
from
Omaha Steaks
That hot dad bod needs some good-quality protein as fuel, so a delivery of some delicious turkey burgers and other meats from Omaha Steaks is tasty Valentine's Day idea. Tell him to fire up the grill and Valentine's dinner is taken care off with minimal mom effort!
Beard Grooming Supplies
$45
from
C.O. Bigelow
Sexy dad bods sometimes come with sexy dad beards! We love a beard, but sometimes they can be too scratchy and dry. Nobody wants inner thigh beard burn, no matter how fun it was to get it — we're just saying. So a good beard conditioner is a game-changer and even though $45 is spendy, it will last a long time.
Swim Trunks
Step 1: Buy him swim trunks and make him try them on.
Step 2: Tell him how sexy his body looks in those swim trunks.
Step 3: Now that he has the swim trunks on, maybe he should go take the kids to the pool?
Step 4: Drink coffee and read in peace.
Cashmere Hoodie
Will this look great on him? Yes! Will it feel so cozy and nice to cuddle up with him while he wears it? Yes! Will it be so cozy, comfy, and warm when it comes time to steal it from him, as all good boy hoodies eventually get stolen? Why, yes, yes it will!
