1. Lace Concrete Desk Tray
Not only is this tray great for storing things like keys or jewelry, it’s stamped with a simple lace design. This little tray is made of concrete, juxtaposing the masculine material with the feminine design. Even though it’s a gift for him, this gift is easy to love.

His universe changed the day he married you, so why not commemorate the day with a glimpse of the night sky as it was that day. Not only does this art include the night sky, but they’re imposed over the silhouette of the state you were married in to make it truly one of a kind.

10. Dammit Stress Doll
For some of us, all the fuzzy slippers and relaxing scents in the world can’t decrease our stress.
Enter this durable little doll, made to take a beating. Stuck in traffic? Piles of projects at work? Kids being kids, again? Take a few moments to relieve some stress by squeezing, slamming, or even biting the stuffing out of the Dammit Doll. Shouting a few expletives usually seems to help too.

A few options that will work great for him, for her, or for both of them.
1. His & Hers Robe Set

Or Valentine’s day gift for those couples who are into couples massages. Or a bridal shower gift for couples who just love to hang out together.

Comes in sizes medium/standard and king.
3. French Linen Sheet Set
Linen bedding is just a little out of the acceptable price range for many of us. (OK, maybe a lot.) It’s so tempting to splurge… This french linen bedding set is well worth the extra moolah to make them happy.
