Most partners think that our boyfriends should spoil us on every occasion. But can you imagine how special he will feel with a simple gift gesture? Showing him some lovin’ might be just what he needs. In the meantime, I’ll help you with some of the best gifts for boyfriend I’ve found so far that will leave him feeling loved and appreciated.
So brace yourself to explore all these gift ideas with some uncommon goods and hopefully find your lover boy the perfect gift for your anniversary, his birthday, or to make him feel special.
1. Beard Care Set
A deep moisturizing beard care set would work wonders if your boyfriend is letting his beard or mustache grow wild and free. With it, you could include some shave gel to help him tame the forest growing on his face and save his chin from the horrors of beard dandruff-flaky situations that nobody wants. It is also a handy gift for him to stash in his gym bag and freshen up his facial hair on the go.
2. Bucket List Book
Want to give your boyfriend a nudge down the road of tackling his next adventure? A bucket list book would come in handy in this case. Imagine him zealously marking off cool adventures, such as shark-cage diving or going ziplining. This gift is great for what to do for your boyfriend’s birthday and will leave him inspired and leaping into finding new dares all year round and spreading his wings if he’s skydiving (quite literally).
3. Car Phone Mount
Is the most practical gift for your partner what you’re looking for? How about a car phone mount for him? He no longer has to deal with the unplanned rollercoaster rides with his phone going “whoopee” whenever he hits a pothole. A little gadget like this will keep it steady to finally stop acting like his co-pilot and more like a strapped-in passenger while he’s running errands.
4. Hot Sauce Roulette Game
If your boyfriend is a meat lover and enjoys a night of board games, then introduce him to a hot sauce roulette game to kick things up a notch. He can challenge his taste buds by making some easy fancy food and having a spicy game of chance. It’s kinda like Russian roulette but with flavors that don’t bear nearly as many repercussions…unless he picks the sauce that makes his mouth blow fire like a dragon.
5. Shaving Kit
Maybe your man is not quite embodying his inner lumberjack. This means it’s time to get him a men’s shaving kit. He’ll definitely appreciate the opportunity to save time, smell wonderfully, and finally say goodbye to that five o’clock shadow. It’s one of the most sensible gifts for a boyfriend, seeing that he can treat himself while also looking clean.
6. Scented Candle
Let’s say you want to send some long-distance birthday wishes to your boyfriend. Try to shop around and find him a scented candle to remind him of you in the times you two are far apart. Should he feel a bit anxious, the sweet scent of this candle might be his hiding place, or at the very least, take his mind off the unfortunate terror of being without you. It’s sentimental in nature and he’ll cherish it, as long as he remembers to blow it out.
7. Cold-Brew Coffee Maker
In the case that your boyfriend is a coffee madhead, then he’ll be buzzing with child-like excitement over a cold-brew coffee maker. It’s a thoughtful gift he’ll love as much as you since he can save space from a regular coffee machine by putting it in his fridge at home or work. The only thing he needs to do is grab some milk, and a glass, and top it off with some ice. After all, you can’t call it an iced coffee until it’s colder than his ex’s heart.
8. Smart Watch
One of the best gifts for boyfriends is a smart watch. He can strap this watch to his wrist all day long and have easy access to all his calls or messages. Hopefully, he won’t ever miss one of your calls again! So shop around and see which will keep your boyfriend ahead of technology.
9. Bottle Opener
If your boyfriend enjoys a crisp beer after work, a top-rank gift for him would be a unique bottle opener. For instance, a playing card-sized bottle opener would be the perfect size for him to slip into his bag or wallet and use to open a glass bottle at a friend’s place if he needs to. Therefore, saving the next beer crisis that arises when a bottle is begging to be opened.
10. Back Massager
Does your boyfriend need a bit of babying (or an excuse to avoid doing the dishes)? Maybe decide on a back massager because it’s a great gift. Think of it as a personal masseuse without having to make small talk. Plus, you will have the opportunity to turn the tables and have him use the back massager on your back as well.
11. Printed T-shirt
A printed t-shirt that says “This Beard is Taken” or “I Love My Girlfriend” would let others know your guy is taken. You can create one for yourself that says “I Love My Boyfriend”. This makes one of the best gifts for a girlfriend too because nothing says romance like two people who wear matching outfits to declare their love like walking billboards.
12. Armrest Cup Holder
Getting your boyfriend a new pair of armrest cup holders is the best gift if he enjoys indulging in his favorite pastime like a sports game on the sofa at home. He can adjust to whichever side of the couch he decides to chill on, giving him a break from getting up each time to grab his drink. And when he does eventually get up, be prepared to see a giant boyfriend-sized indent in your chair.
13. Bluetooth Speaker
If your boyfriend loves to jam out to music, getting him a lightweight Bluetooth speaker is a good gift idea. These gadgets are sometimes fairly small making them incredibly portable. So let him voice control while screaming out his favorite songs in the shower, and skip songs whenever he likes without a massive stereo taking up space in his room.
14. Soda Machine
Is your boyfriend into making his own drinks from time to time? If so, surprise him with a soda machine as a gift. These are a fun way for your guy to play around with flavors, and make a soda in an instant. He’ll find himself mixing flavors and inventing some of his own!
15. Engraved Cereal Spoons
Let’s say you’re dating a guy who is a little gaga over cereal. Why not buy him a pack of engraved cereal spoons as a way to make his morning cereal sesh a bit more anticipating? You could choose an engraving like “cereal killer” as a joke. Of all uncommon goods, this takes the cake (or cereal should we say).
16. Alarm Clock
Does your partner find himself late to his daily routine? He probably doesn’t use his phone as his alarm. If this is the case, look at finding him an alarm clock gift with one of those annoying buzzers to put in his room. This noisy bugger will make sure he’s never late for anything in life again.
17. Electric Milk Frother
One of the best gifts for boyfriends is to add to any collection they’re growing – including his coffee station. For those coffee lovers, shop around and buy your guy an electric milk frother. It makes for a cool sidekick to his other coffee-making kits. And if you want to get something extra, you can pair it with a cold-brew coffee maker as well.
18. Custom Song Plaque
Searching for appreciation gifts for your boyfriend to make him feel special can be a tough cookie to crack. However, since most guys live off the beat of music, what if you got your person a custom song plaque? He’ll love putting this tribute on show on top of a floating shelf or stacked on a coffee table book, where everyone can honor his highly questionable taste in music.
19. Keychain
If your guy has a PhD in Losing His Keys, it might be time to upgrade him to a chunky keychain! You could create a sentimental one with a favorite photo or a little reminder of your favorite pastime. Nothing says “I love you” like one of his favorite photos of you two right next to his ever-elusive keys. It’s one of the greatest couple gift ideas you can come up with.
20. Skincare Gift Set
Is your boyfriend the sort of guy who spends more time on his self care routine than you? If so, you should think of giving him a skincare gift set as the perfect addition to his impressive selection. This is a must have that will make his life easier. And you can say bye-bye to those unwanted bumpy pimples on his face and welcome a man who looks like he just stepped out of the sauna with that glow.
Conclusion
Now that you’ve seen twenty options, do you feel like you’ve unlocked a treasure chest of the best gifts for boyfriends? Finding the right gift doesn’t have to be a blood sport. Instead of ticking “buy gift” off your to-do list like a robot, focus on stuff that’ll actually make his life easier (or at least give him less to complain about).
These ideas are basically foolproof, so you can’t go wrong as long as you think about what he loves, his favorite pastimes, and, you know, those little romantic moments you two share. With this sort of love and effort, no one else will matter as much to him as you do. Plus, you’ll be in the top rank of the best gift giver he’s ever had.
