It’s that time again, but “what the hell to get him” you might be asking yourself. Choosing a thoughtful and unique gift for your boyfriend can be a bit of a tricky task. With so many special occasions needing gifts throughout the year, it is hard to know exactly what he wants and that will be meaningful to him.
Read on, as we help you peel back the "mystery behind the man" and get you on track to buying him a gift he actually wants.
In a nutshell, the trick to knowing your boyfriend's wishlist is to dig deeper and try to find out more about him. What are some of his interests and hobbies. Does he enjoy doing certain things, does he watch certain types of shows or read certain types of books?
If you are living with him you already have the inside scoop, as you can have a look around and see what stands out or if there are patterns or themes that become obvious. If you're not living together then just subtly ask him a couple of questions over a call or text message, or even better, the next time you see him. But the best advice is to into full slueth mode and have a little snoop around the next time you visit him.
Below are some things to help you figure out what he likes.
These are just a few ideas that can help you on your way to figuring out what sort of things he is into, and what would make a unique and meaningful gift. Once you know some of his interests you can then start to narrow down your search for presents that would fit into those groups.
Below are some of the essentials every man would love to receive
His birthday is that one special occasion during the year to go all out and really show him how much he means to you.
While a gift will go down a treat, birthdays are also a chance for you two to get out and do something special and make a few memories along the way.
While anniversaries are mostly there for married couples, there’s no reason why a few important milestones during a new relationship shouldn’t be celebrated.
Dating for 1 month, 6 months and 1 year are some key milestones to consider.
When romance is in the air and it's his birthday or another special occasion, such as Valentine's Day, where his gift calls for a more romantic touch.
Getting a special gift followed by a romantic date night, or day out exploring or doing something he loves, is going to be just the ticket to warm the cockles of his heart, and get him in the mood for love.
Gift sets and packs of goodies are a great present to receive as a guy. If we receive a box with loads of goodies inside it’s like having a mini-Christmas to us.
You can either go for a gift set with everything already included, or even make up your own “special gift pack” and add some thoughtful and unique items to it, along with a handwritten card or letter.
Just because a gift isn’t expensive doesn’t mean it has to be “cheap”. As a guy, no matter the cost of the gift, if we can see that thought and effort has gone into it, that already makes it sentimental and unique.
For example, something creative like a DIY gift, handmade or “designed” by you would completely wow us!
If he has been a really good boy and you’re also looking to splurge, this is the perfect opportunity to get him something timeless and of premium-quality. If he knows it’s luxury then he’s going to appreciate it and look after it carefully for many years to come.
Lastly, and when all else fails, there's always the trusty old gift voucher route to take.
Some people might say that a gift voucher is impersonal, but it is actually a really practical gift to ensure that he gets something that he actually wants. Everyone wins!
Mantality stocks all the coolest gifts and goodies a man could ever want. But sometimes it's tricky to buy gifts for your boyfriend, and even great gift buyers need a bit of help sometimes. Create a gift voucher so he can get exactly what he wants. Above is an example of the voucher that will be received by email.
