PORTLAND, Ore. - s4story -- Valentine's Day gifting has long leaned on tradition, but for many shoppers, especially those buying for men, traditional gifts often miss the mark. As gift givers look for alternatives that feel thoughtful without being disposable, NYT Wirecutter's gift coverage increasingly reflects growing consumer interest in practical, everyday items. In its recent roundup, "The 39 Best Cheap Valentine's Day Gifts (Mostly) Under $25," Wirecutter featured Lucky Jack's 9-in-1 Builder's Pen Multi-tool, pointing to a broader shift in how consumers approach Valentine's Day gifts.

Men are frequently cited as one of the hardest groups to buy for, and shoppers are prioritizing gifts that put usefulness and longevity over novelty. Wirecutter's editorial team, known for its rigorous evaluation standards, selected the Builder's Pen as an example of how function-driven design can make gifting simpler and more reliable.
