When choosing the best gifts for boyfriends (or husbands), it’s sometimes challenging to find items that feel personal to your boyfriend. In a vast sea of ties, belts, and whiskey stones, it can be difficult to know which gift for men he’ll actually be thrilled to receive. Your boyfriend might be the picky type who just buys whatever he needs or the practical kind who says he “never needs anything” which makes things tricky. Luckily, there are plenty of thoughtful, unique, and not terribly expensive gift options out there for your significant other.
You don’t really need a specific day to show your partner (and perhaps co-parent) how much you care, but it’s never a bad idea to get them something. It shows him how much you care and think about them. And now that the holiday season is closely approaching (side note: how?!), what's the harm in getting your Christmas gifts signed, sealed, and delivered early?
Whether you’re shopping for a boyfriend who clears his mind by watering plants, working out, or whipping up an elaborate meal for your family, we've curated an assortment of fun, thoughtful gift ideas from brands and retailers like Allbirds, Kiehl's, Huckberry, Etsy, and Bose as inspiration. To shower your beau with love and appreciation on a special day or just for being his wonderful self, read on for a selection of some of the best gifts for boyfriends that we could find—ones he’ll (hopefully) be gushing about all year.
