One of the hardest aspects of a relationship is probably getting a gift for your boyfriend. What should you get him? What does he like? How much does it cost? All of these questions come into mind when Christmas shopping comes about. However, to make things a little easier for your Christmas season, below is a list of Christmas gifts for him. Whether he’s into sports, video games, or food, these gifts can make any guy happy.
For the Music Lover
- Headphones: A pair of headphones make a great Christmas gift. He can use them when he’s studying, exercising, or watching a movie. You can buy him small in-bud earphones, or fancy HD over-ear headphones—all depending on your budget.
- Concert tickets: What more could a guy love than going to a concert of his favorite band with his girl?
For the Sports Boy
- Favorite Team Jersey: If he doesn’t already own one, consider buying him a jersey of his favorite team (or athlete).
- Sports Tickets: Buy him football or basketball tickets, and invite yourself along. If you’re not really the sports type, then maybe he can take one of his boys. Regardless, he will enjoy the gift.
For the Techie
- Video Game: If you always seem him playing Xbox whenever you stop by his dorm room, look up what games are up and coming, and surprise him on Christmas with one.
- Speakers: Speakers make a pretty neat present. They’re great for watching movies and playing music when hanging out with friends. Want to surprise your guy even more? Maybe you should check out those cool watershow speakers for him.
For Mr. Romantic
- Cologne: Maybe there’s a certain cologne that you just love. Consider buying it for him. Don’t worry, he won’t think that you’re hinting at him to take a shower. Instead, he’ll start to wear it, because he knows it will make you happy.
- Picture Frame: If you have been dating your boy for a long time, maybe a photo frame of the two of you will be the perfect Christmas gift. Find a cute photo that reminds you of a good memory with him and purchase a classic picture frame from Target (or Marshalls). He will always think about you when looking at that picture on his desk.
- A Day Full of Activities: It’s simple. Take him out for the day. Make reservations at his favorite restaurant, check out a festival, go ice skating, watch a movie. Plan out a day of doing all sorts of fun activities. He’ll have just as much fun as you.
For the Practical Guy
- Netflix Subscription: If he doesn’t happen to already have one, perhaps you could buy him a 6-month or 1-year subscription for Netflix. Everyone can admit having Netflix on their computer is the best thing a college student could have.
- Wallet full of surprises: Buy him a wallet (all guys love wallets). Then, fill it with cash, movie tickets, gift cards, a photo of the two of you. Anything like that. It’s a gift full of other gifts. This is clever if you have a relatively picky boyfriend.
- Food: What guy doesn’t love getting food? Especially from their girl? Make him all sorts of goodies, such as cookies and brownies. You can even be creative with this. Make him his favorite dinner. Prepare a treat basket. He will love this gift, regardless.
I wish you the best of luck with your shopping and I hope you all have very Happy Holidays! Until next time,
