2. DIY Skinny Tie - For the business-first, suit-up-like-Barney-Stinson guy
Ties are one of the top picks in terms of gifts for men, but instead
of spending hundreds of dollars on a nice tie, why not make one for him?
You can use any kind of fabric you want, just be creative. A guy can
never have too many ties--just as girls can never have too many shoes.

3. DIY Meal - For the food-loving, on-a-budget guy
The first thing everyone thinks of when it comes to
Valentine's Day is having a good meal at a nice restaurant, which is
usually expensive. Instead, why not buy a couple of candles and
placemats and cook him a meal instead? Dinner can be just as nice at
home, especially if you cook his favorite dishes. Here's a link to some
Valentine's Day recipes, but there are thousands of other ideas out
there for making a special V-Day feast.
