"Congrats! You have a valentine this year, so instead of just enjoying candy from your mom, now you&amp;#039;re stressing about what to get him. Here&amp;#039;s a list of awesome Valentine&amp;#039;s Day gifts for your guy depending on how long you&amp;#039;ve been together. When in doubt, just remember: sports, gadgets, food, repeat.  Less Than 3 Months: If you&amp;#039;ve only been seeing the guy for a few months, you can probably get away with not giving a gift, but you risk an awkward moment if he showers you with rose petals and teddy bears and you give him nothing. So if you want to keep something on hand, go with a classic, cool gift that says,&amp;quot;Thanks for giving me something to do this Valentine&amp;#039;s Day so I didn&amp;#039;t have to sit at home by myself.&amp;quot; Trendy shirts, ties, or socks are always a win, and seasons of his favorite TV show or books you think he might like are harmless yet amazing gifts for a guy. And of course, it wouldn&amp;#039;t be Valentine&amp;#039;s Day without candy, and chocolate cigars are definitely dude-friendly.   Clockwise from the top left: Breaking Bad: The Fifth Season, AMC, $40; Game of Thrones: The Complete Second Season, HBO, $30; Pink and Blue Plaid Shirt, BONOBOS, $85; Catch-22, SIMON &amp;amp;amp; SCHUSTER, $12; Fight Club, W. W. NORTON, $12; Slaughterhouse-Five, RANDOM HOUSE, $8; Denim Tie, THE MISSING LINK, $60; Red Button Down Shirt, JACK WILLS, $44; Multicolored Striped Socks, STANCE, $12; Chocolate Cigars, L.A. BURDICK, $32 Six Months: All right, after 6 months, you can kind of loosen up a bit. You know for sure his middle name now, you can make jokes about his weird big toe, and you&amp;#039;ve got a good grasp on what his interests are. This is the perfect time to get him a quirky gift, such as vouchers for lovers, or write little inside jokes inside a funny card you got him. If he has any hobbies like poker or drinking beer (what guy doesn&amp;#039;t?), get him a poker set or a beer making kit. A nice leather wallet or a shaving kit are also nice touches.  Love Vouchers, KNOCK KNOCK, $7; &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Glad We&amp;#039;re A Thing&amp;quot; Card, EMILY MCDOWELL DRAWS, $5; Valentine&amp;#039;s Shaving Kit, HARRY&amp;#039;S, $40; Beer Making Kit, BROOKLYN BREW SHOP, $35; Brown Leather Wallet, JACK SPADE, $88; Poker Set, MARSHALLS, $99 Nine Months: Nine months in is probably a good time to spend a little more money on gifts than you have before. Guys who love sports love authentic jerseys, and if you get him tickets to a game too, even better. Or wrap up a set of personalized golf balls and offer to buy him a round of golf at a nearby course. Usually guys like to take their girlfriends out to dinner for Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, but this year, offer to take him to dinner, or if you like to cook, make him his favorite meal and watch a movie on the new Apple TV you got him. Cologne is another good, classic idea.  Concert or Game Tickets; Cologne, SANTAL 33, $160; Dinner and a Movie: 12 Themed Movie Nights With Recipes to Share &amp;amp;amp; Enjoy, RYLAND PETERS &amp;amp;amp; SMALLS, $13; Personalized Golf Balls, TITLEST, $53; Apple TV, APPLE, $99; New York Yankees Authentic Jersey, MAJESTIC ATHLETIC, $182; Chicago Cubs Authentic Jersey, MAJESTIC ATHLETIC, $165 One Year: Honestly, a guy would probably love at any point of the relationship if you pulled out some lingerie and massage oil. Or instead of the oil, book a couples&amp;#039; massage for the both of you during a weekend trip inspired by a travel book you got him. Accessories like headphones or a timeless watch are also a great choice for any type of guy.  Massage Oil, COWSHED, $31; Headphones, BEATS BY DRE, $150; Black Lace Bra, VICTORIA&amp;#039;S SECRET, $65; Lace Thong, VICTORIA&amp;#039;S SECRET, $19; Garter Belt, VICTORIA&amp;#039;S SECRET, $36; Leather Band Watch, TIMEX, $70; USA&amp;#039;s Best Trips: 99 Themed Itineraries Across America, LONELY PLANET PUBLICATIONS, $25; The New York Times 36 Hours: 150 Weekends in the USA &amp;amp;amp; Canada, TASCHEN, $32 Two Years or Longer: By this point, you&amp;#039;ve done the whole Valentine&amp;#039;s Day hoopla before, so you&amp;#039;ve really got to get creative. Sentimental gifts, such as a handmade card, a journal of little love notes, or a picture of you two in a rustic, manly frame show you care without having to spend too much money. Or if you feel like spoiling him, splurge on gadget he&amp;#039;s been eyeing or passes to a music or movie festival that you both can enjoy.   Music or Film Festival Wristband; What I Love About You Journal, KNOCK KNOCK, $10; Camera, GO PRO, $200; &amp;quot;With All My Butt&amp;quot; Valentine&amp;#039;s Day Card, B CREATIVE DESIGN ARTS, $5; Wooden Frame, TARGET, $7; &amp;quot;Ridiculously Happy&amp;quot; Valentine&amp;#039;s Day Card, LITTLELOW, $5 Photo Credit: Getty Images, New Line Cinema RELATED STORIES: Valentine&amp;#039;s Day In A New Relationship Is Awkward 30 Signs You&amp;#039;ve Been in Your Relationship For a Ridiculously Long Time This Valentine&amp;#039;s Day Kitten Bouquet Is Trolling You "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
