8 Perfect Gift Ideas for Your Boyfriend

Girls have always had a special talent for gift giving. I can pick the perfect gift for everyone on my list. But when shopping for a boyfriend I seem to come up short. Let’s face it, sometimes, thinking of the perfect gift ideas for your boyfriend isn’t the easiest thing to do!

Guys seem to have so much less stuff. They buy themselves stuff when they need it and don’t want extras sitting around.

So, where do you start? You don’t want to buy a gift card because it’s impersonal. You don’t want to buy them socks or underwear like you do every single year. And a sweater says, “Here is a Christmas gift that I thought about too much for you to only wear once.”

# Jerky

Not to stereotype but a lot of guys are meat lovers. I have something for the vegans too, just you wait, but jerky is a commonly adored snack. This is a pretty versatile gift too. You can get a premade variety, you can get him a subscription, or just pick up different kinds he’d like.

It isn’t just beef jerky, there is turkey jerky, bacon jerky, venison and more.

# Toys

Just because he’s all grown up doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to play. Get him a Lego set for something he’s obsessed with. They have sets like this of Friends, The Office, Star Wars, and more.

Just because drones aren’t more trendy anymore doesn’t mean he won’t have fun with it.

# An adult print

By adult, I don’t been X-rated. Get your mind out of the gutter, I mean help him replace his movie posters with more mature art. It can still be themed from his favorite saga or movie, but just not so poster-like.

You can find canvases or prints of scenes from TV shows, movies, and more on Etsy. I also got my boyfriend blueprints of the Star Wars ships that are still exciting for a fan but look sophisticated.

# Flannel-lined pants

This sounds silly, but guys like being cozy too. He may not want a fuzzy robe, but cargo pants and jeans come fleece-lined so he can look rugged on the outside while being nice and toasty inside.

# An air fryer

I know everyone is telling you to buy one, but there is a reason for that. With a lot more at-home cooking, an air fryer takes your recipes up a notch. You can get the crispy goodness of fast food without the grease, the expense, or the stink of oil.

Whether he is into cooking or not an air fryer is user friendly and is a gift for you as well!

# Grooming kit

I know this is basic, but hear me out. Instead of getting him an overpriced aftershave he’ll never use, get him a razor with different settings and lengths so not only can he trim up his beard but he can even cut his own hair at home in case barbershops and salons close again.

Hey, if an at-home hair cutting device is good enough for George Clooney, it’s good enough for your dude.

# Hot sauce

Another male cliche, but I have given hot sauce taster, hot honey, and hot truffle sauce as gifts to the men in my life multiple times and it is always a success. Sure, he can pick up what he likes at the store, but this is what makes it a gift.

Instead of getting him a practical gift, it is new and exciting while also being useful.

# Package-free gift set

Whether he’s into living a more sustainable lifestyle or you’d like him to try it out, a package-free start set makes a great gift.

A set of tin or glass food storage containers, a reusable water bottle and straws, cloth grocery bags, and even a bamboo toothbrush and solid shampoo bar are great introductions to living a less wasteful life.
