Whether you and your boyfriend have been together for two months or twelve months, you’re most likely going gift shopping for him some time this holiday season. Here is a list of the Top 10 gifts to buy your boyfriend this year:

1. Headphones/Speakers

If your boyfriend is constantly listening to music or watching movies on his laptop then he definitely needs some high quality headphones. Speakers work too, especially if he’s throwing a lot of parties. I personally love my Beatbox Portable by Dre but there are also illuminated dancing water speakers that are pretty sick [shown below].

2. Shoes

Guys love shoes almost as much as we do. If your boyfriend a new pair of boots or sneakers, he just may love you forever. Timberlands aka “Tims” as well as Nike Running sneakers are just two that he’d love to see underneath his Christmas tree. Just make sure you have the right size, ladies!

3. Tickets

Your boyfriend would love nothing less to spend time with you, especially if it’s when you’re both listening to a favorite artist or watching Sunday football. So, if you want to surprise him and maybe even earn a few points in his book, definitely do your research on Ticketmaster and Stubhub for any upcoming events.

4. Wallet

At times guys can be a bit unorganized so there is a high chance he wants/needs a new wallet. Whether it’s leather or an actual phone case wallet, it’s a wallet nonetheless. What’s even better; they can be found just about anywhere in the mall or online.

5. Watch

If your man doesn’t have a watch on his wrist right now, then he should be dying to get one from you. We can’t always rely on our phones to tell us the time! Nixon watches are also of excellent quality and their prices are pretty reasonable.

6. Workout Clothes

Guys love to feel confident in their workout attire so why not fill his closet up with some more Nike and Under Armor tops? Also, Lululemon gear has also made itself pretty popular among men. Their tops are exceptionally comfortable and your boyfriend will definitely look good wearing them.

7. GoPro Camera

If your man loves taking pictures and videos, the GoPro camera is exactly what he needs. This camera has become so popular over the last year because of its tiny, portable shape and high picture/video quality. It’s also waterproof, so your boyfriend won’t have to worry about getting it wet if he takes it on the slopes or to the beach.

8. Cologne

Guys love to pack on the scent for their girlfriends, so their cologne collection may very well be coming to an end by now. It only seems right to buy him more cologne, doesn’t it? Best of all, if you’re not a huge fan of his current scent, this is your chance to choose how he smells once and for all!

9. Cozy Clothing

Your boyfriend loves comfy cozy clothes just as much as you do. Even though he may not be asking for them, it’s a no brainer he wants them! My boyfriend actually got a spiffy Ralph Lauren robe for Christmas a few years ago, and still hasn’t stopped raving about it. Remember: you want your boyfriend to be just as cozy as you this year!

10. Shades

Guys need sunglasses and often they forget to ask for them during this time of year. That’s why you should surprise your man, showing you’re thinking ahead to sunny weather, with a brand new pair of Ray-Bans or Oakley’s.

 

Regardless of these gift ideas, when it comes down to it… all your boyfriend really wants for Christmas is you. Guys appreciate anything and everything so don’t stress too much over buying the perfect present. Good luck and we wish you Happy Holidays!
