We wanted to put together a helpful guide on what to get for that special guy in your life that he will actually use, and use frequently, with no nagging involved. Below we have our top guy-approved, guy-tested picks that will give your man the DIY spa treatment.

The Body Shop: Men’s Essentials Kit, $30 For Men Maca Root Wash Off Shave Oil, $10, Men’s Synthetic Shaving Brush, $12

Making shaving an experience, rather than a “must” is critical. We’re really into the results, as well as the terrific price point of The Body Shop’s for men line– get him a travel kit, or the products individually; we love the Maca Root products’ aroma, and the Wash Off Shave Oil is terrific for hydration and providing a slick razor barrier. Don’t forget to complete the gift with the ultimate in shaving indulgence — a shaving brush!

Grooming Lounge “He’s Got Issues” Gift Set, $62.50

Grooming Lounge has a bevy of terrific ‘man products’, plus Barbershop and Spa locations in case you’d like to put your man’s upkeep into another person’s capablehands. For V-Day, we love the He’s Got Issues Set for “man-tenance” issues that a Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer and Fingernail Clipper can easily take care of!

The Art of Shaving Alum Pen, $12; Horn HandCrafted Straight Razor, $260;  Compact Shaving Stand, $60

For the guy who is already into finer products and accoutrements, give him accessories that have been on his bucket list, like the alum pen to stop bleeding when a shaving knick or scratch occurs, an artfully crafted straight razor (that is, only if he has a steady hand!), or a shaving stand for his brush and/or razor. If you haven’t already,   sign up with the  “Brotherhood of Shaving” to get info on upcoming events and promotions.

Frederic Malle Perfume Gun in 1ER MAI (four other options are also available), 500 ML bottle, $145

Room sprays are automatically given a masculine edge with this opulent and aromatic perfume gun by perfumer Dominique Ropion for Frederic Malle, which will make any “man cave” smell more like “a cluster of lily of the valley hidden in the shade of the underbrush” than stale beer, Cheetos, and anything else STILL left lying about from last week’s Super Bowl party.

I prefer jewelry with a bit of an edge to it, so MiMi by Sorrelli is totally my style for V-Day, and everyday. In this Polyvore collage I made, I paired my Sorrelli jewelry with a Proenza Schouler dress, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Mulberry bag. Click on the collage to view, and maybe even buy, my V-Day outfit picks!

Treat yourself to something adorable for Valentine’s Day with this Valentine Shoulder Bag, $12.80 at Forever 21.

Why wear your heart on your sleeve when you can put it on your shoulder instead?
Besides, I don’t think women buy themselves something for V-Day (and lingerie does not count), and why not? There are a lot of ridiculous holidays out there that require hallmark cards and gifts and blah blah blah. I think $13 for a cute bag is hardly considered a splurge, so indulge ladies!

If you’re hoping this Valentine’s Day will give you something to look at on your ring finger, but aren’t sure your significant other is completely aware of this, say it with this 2-Carat Cup, $18 at FredFlare.com. The Swarovski crystal ring comes in gold or silver, and will serve as a constant reminder of what you may have your heart set on for this February 14th.  Add about $5 for s&h.
