Besides smelling like sweet cigarettes and sex, this opulent fragrance could come to be a classic staple in your man's cologne collection. The scent -- inspired by a gentleman's club, contains hints of white leather, cocoa, saffron and sweet wood sap. Warning: this scent may make you want to jump all over him in public -- don't embarrass yourself, girl. Keep it cute until you get home. Are you dying to know another plus to this purchase? The parfum is unisex (as almost all Tom Ford fragrances are) so dab a few drops on your pulse points too!

1.7 oz.; $220 at Sephora

The speaker is easy to carry and connects to most mobile devices. Not a fan of the red? This little baby also comes in black, blue, sea green and white. What's most exciting is that you both can reenact Beyonce's 'Drunk In Love' video next time you're on the beach. Sweet.

Appeal to his inner vintage sports side -- a side that even he didn't know existed. Shinola Detroit, a great curator of cool leather goods mentions that although this football overlaps sports equipment and art categories, it is ultimately made to be used. Unless he's playing football with Kanye West, this $150 football will work just fine as an accent at his place.

$150, Shinola Detroit

Cire Trudon Gaspard Scented Candle

Let's get one thing straight: he doesn't want a candle for V-Day, but he needs one. His pile of dirty socks and rotten food in the fridge don't quite smell like roses. With hints of mandarin and sandalwood, he will appreciate the difference that a candle makes at home -- it lightens ones mood and makes you happy to be home when you walk through the door. Once the candle blows through, he can keep the vessel and use it as a pen cup on his desk. Dope.

$105; Mr. Porter
