I found a website for something called a "man crate." Basically it's a rustic gift box for a man filled with things like jerky, BBQ stuff, etc. it's kind of overpriced, but it might give you additional gift basket ideas (or if you want to spend the money and like the manly crate with crowbar idea, get the man crate).
Mancrates.com is awesome! I've got my husband some pretty cool gifts from there in the past. After only 6 dates I wouldn't recommend it for the OP though. Too expensive this early on!
My husband is easy. He likes chocolate. The only decision is whether to buy chocolate or make something homemade. A card or love letter for sure.
Actually, I'd love to hire a personal chef to prepare us both a fantastic meal at home but that's pricey and too short of notice at this point. I might do that for our anniversary because my husband hates to eat out.
I'm really bad at gift giving especially on Valentine's Day (I only had 1 Valentine's Day where I wasn't single). This is the guy I have gone out on 6 dates with in just a bit over a week. He is gone this week for a skiing trip with friends but we have a date the day after he comes back. Again we have seen each other every other day or so.
He made a reservation at a nice restaurant. I figure he will just do something like flowers and chocolate which I like (I'm traditional). I don't want to give him something safe (like just giving him a cute mug with chocolates in it). I was thinking of putting together a bag of things I know he needs but it's really random (SPF 70 spray, Tend Skin for shaving, and a keychain from a place where we had 1 of the best dates of my life along with Hershey Hugs and Kisses). Does that seem good or too impersonal? I'm adding a card to it.
Cook his favorite dish for dinner.
If there's any baked treats he likes, make some for him, packaged in a box or a V-Day gift bag.

Yeah, very expensive for dating as short of a time they are, but she could get some ideas from it (like getting a heart shaped box and filling it full of jerky (they had that on the site for about $35, but I bet home made it would be half that price).

That's an awesome idea! You can totally make some of those yourself for WAY cheaper!~
If you asked my brother what he wants for gifts, he would say car parts.
If you asked my friend Chris, he would say, guitar or amplifier accessories.
If you asked my friend Mikee what he wanted, he would say books, music, music, or books.
My point is that every guy is different so, what one guy likes will not be what another guy likes. Same thing for women. Some women want or expect jewelry while others just want a chocolate bar while still others are satisfied with just being remembered with a handmade card.
You know this guy way more than anyone here, so you'll need to choose something based on his individual tastes.
