When it come to Valentine's gifts for ladies, you can never go wrong with chocolate, flowers and jewelry.

Men, however, can be a bit of a challenge. Visit these local stores for some fun gift ideas.

The Humidour Cigar Shoppe: Boasting a space called the "Man's Mall," the smoke store features fine pipes, pipe tobabbo, cigars and other unique accessories. Humidour also has a lounge with leather recliners, satellite televisions, wireless internet and refreshments so your sweetheart can escape the hassles of everyday life.

Andy Nelson's Barbecue: They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and with the platters of barbecued meats offered at Andy Nelson's, you can't go wrong with a giftcard. Specialty items include pulled pork, Memphis style ribs and smokehouse Dixie chicken.

Robbie's 1st Base: Is your man a sports nut? Then head on over to Robbie's for some top notch sports memorabilia. While there, chat with owner Robbie Davis Sr., who is being featured on an upcoming ABC reality show called Ball Boys.

Lutherville Bikes: With the multitude of scenic bike paths in the area including those in Oregon Ridge and the Torrey C. Brown Trail, check out this local shop for its extensive inventory. Lutherville Bikes also provides repairs, if your man already has a bike rotting away in the garage.

American Past Times: For history buffs, check out a fairly new Antique Row addition for a slice of Americana. This unusual antiques and collectibles store has old advertisement signs, jukeboxes and a giant purple ostrich.
