It is easy to make a man happy, or so every woman thinks. Men can be moody, choosy, and nit-picking when it comes to gifts they receive. For men it is not the gift but who gifted him matters a lot and how much of a thought that went into buying that gift. The gift also gives them an idea of what one thinks of him. So here are some of the options you can think of when you are gifting him this Valentine’s Day. One word of caution though, please do not think of surprising him , men hate “SURPRISES” the most because they go for the logic when they are supposed to go for the emotions.
Coffee and Espresso Maker If your man is a coffee lover, go for this. There nothing better for a coffee lover than having a toy which makes unlimited mugs of coffee for him.

Caution: Do not attempt to train him on how to use the machine, allow him to explore and find it for himself. You get a decent coffeemaker below Rs 10000, but a good one may require you to shell out a bit more.
