Ordering your loved one a gift at the last minute isn’t ideal, but as long as you pick the right gift, it can still arrive on time. But the more hours you spend hunting down a gift that’ll make it by the big day, the fewer items you’ll have to choose from. So instead, I’ve dug through our archives to find the best Valentine’s Day gifts for the man in your life, all of which will still arrive by Valentine’s Day if you order now. But with only two days to spare, act fast because the longer you wait, the less likely it is your present will show up on time.
