Yes – you read that right. This is a step-by-step instruction blog that will help you stop struggling every time you have to buy your boyfriend or partner a present for a birthday, anniversary, or any other occasion.

The philosophy behind finding a ‘perfect gift’

We understand how difficult it is! It’s hard to say what he likes (or dislikes) if you’ve just been dating for a month or two, which isn’t helpful. On the other hand, if you’ve been dating for a long time, you’re probably out of ideas due to all the holidays, birthdays, and Valentine’s Days you’ve had throughout the years. And if he didn’t leave you a wish list — or at the very least, some tabs open on his laptop with a few hints — you may be in a pickle right now.

A quick tip: if all ideas fail, go with a hilarious present to relieve tension. Isn’t it true that it’s the thought that counts? Also, these options are perfect for holiday presents. Just a thought.

 

How to think when getting a present for him…

We made sure to cover all the bases with these suggestions since he’s a complicated person. Others are humorous, some are poignant, and some are just plain cute gifts. Find the ideal present for any man, whether he’s a home cook who’s constantly preparing something in the kitchen, a sports enthusiast who’s devoted to ESPN, an outdoorsman who’s always looking for new experiences, or a beer connoisseur who enjoys a cold one more than anyone else. Even if he’s declared that he has everything he could possibly desire, you’ll be able to discover something to make him grin from ear to ear. Isn’t that what we’re aiming for here?

A small list of our ideas

If you still haven’t discovered what description suits your boyfriend and where to aim while looking for a present – here are some stereotypical things all men like that you might find useful:

• A play station – whit this one you just can’t be wrong. Doesn’t matter which one, just that he can spend his afternoon playing FIFA or Mortal combat. (Warning – this one might affect you and cause less attention)
• If you are lower on budget, a personalized wallet or cardholder can be perfect. These are just classy and very useful.
• Wooden Docking Station – this is also very handy and helps him stay organized. The price is also usually very affordable.
• Try with a watch. These just come in so many different designs, shapes, and sizes, prices, and brands. If he already has some, by a different one that he can match with his new outfit or that he can wear at the beach. So many variations.
• Mentioning outfits – by him peace of clothing. Any. A shirt, t-shirt, leggings, jacket. Doesn’t matter. If you know what he especially likes, event better. If you don’t – don’t worry. Just analyze what he wears and go for something similar. And before you think it’s a stupid gift, he literally wears clothes every day, and more of it is never a problem.
• You could also go with a perfume. I know, I know it’s basic. But when you think of it, you can just choose what would you like him to smell and go for it. You don’t even have to overthink it.
• Murder mystery game. This one is genius. It’s fun, unique and you can even help him. If he is into these kinds of things it’s literally perfect.
• And last but not least – Scratch The World Travel Map. If he likes to travel, and if you have been dating for a long time, this is just amazing. It’s not a short term present but something that is sentimental and you can spend a lot of time traveling, creating memories and scratching destinations one by one.
