What to give a guy?
For many of us, holidays are our favorite days of the year. For some, however, they can be stressful. The thing is that in the process of the pre-holiday bustle it can be quite difficult to decide on the most important thing - the choice of gifts. Moreover, if for a mother, friend or sister we easily decide on the right thing, then in the process of selecting a present for a guy, great difficulties can arise.
What to give a young man for his birthday, New Year or February 23, how to approach the choice of a present, what to buy, if you need to keep within the budget - all this is in our article.
What do you need to consider?
In the process of choosing a gift for a young person, a large number of difficulties and questions can arise. To avoid such difficulties, you should think about and take into account all important factors in advance.
Of particular importance is the occasion on the occasion of which you present the present. For example, warm accessories and wardrobe items (hat, scarf, warm socks) can become actual New Year gifts; on February 23, it is appropriate to give a shaving kit. However, sometimes we forget that it is not necessary to wait for the red day of the calendar - a young man can be presented with a present without any reason. In this case, there are no restrictions at all.
The second important factor to consider is your closeness. So, if the relationship is just starting, then more traditional and universal, but at the same time, romantic gifts should be given. On the other hand, if your love has already been tested by time, then you can present more original gifts, as well as practical items or even things with an intimate connotation.
It's also important to remember what your boyfriend is and what his hobbies are. Your hobby can be a great starting point when choosing a presentation for any occasion. Such a thing will turn out to be practical and will be used, and not gather dust on a shelf or in a closet. And the young man will be touched by the attention and care shown.
If you are preparing a gift on the occasion of a holiday (New Year, birthday, etc.), for which it is customary to give gifts (that is, not your personal holiday, for example, an anniversary), then you should discuss your plans with friends and relatives of your beloved in advance. The fact is that a situation may arise when you purchase the same thing that another person is planning to buy. As a result, the guy will receive 2 identical items (most often this happens in cases where the young person needs something, or wants something for a long time). To avoid such awkward situations, you should make sure in advance that your gift will be exclusive and one of a kind.
You also need to consider your budget. Real feelings and sincere relationships do not require expensive gifts or large financial investments. If your boyfriend truly loves you, then he will be happy with any little thing received from your hands.
Therefore, do not worry if you do not have enough funds to buy an expensive and status gift. The main thing is the feelings you have shown and the meaning that you put into your present.
Among other things, you should pay attention and think over in advance not only the gift itself, but also its packaging. You also need to carefully plan the moment of delivery. Remember that even the simplest and purely symbolic present can turn into a chic surprise if presented correctly. Do not be lazy to buy gift paper, decorate the box with decorative elements and prepare a congratulatory speech. Turn the presentation of a gift into a vivid and memorable event - it will be a real surprise, and later it will turn into a story that you will remember for many years to come.
Original presents
A commemorative gift is such a thing that will bring pleasure and joy to your boyfriend for a rather long period. Therefore, try to come up with an unusual, interesting and cool present.
An original idea is a prefabricated or so-called complete gift. This option is suitable primarily for those who cannot decide on one specific thing in any way due to the presence of a huge number of ideas. Typically, these gifts are placed in gift baskets and beautifully wrapped. They can be ordered in special services or made by yourself.
Such a set, in essence, can contain anything: it can be a guy's favorite foods and delicacies, pleasant everyday things, or selections for a themed evening (for example, a movie night). In this case, you are limited only by your imagination and financial capabilities.
Another good idea is to give a guy something from technology. These can be the now fashionable so-called "smart watches" or more familiar devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, and so on). A fan of computer games can be presented with a new generation game console with several game discs, and a young person who is fond of music - high-quality acoustic speakers.
Remember that the main thing in choosing a gift is an individual approach.
Sports accessories are always a good choice. Depending on the specific sport your boyfriend is involved in, these gifts can be varied and personalized. So, the runner will need a new pair of sneakers, and the bodybuilder will need gloves for lifting the bar. A more versatile gift is a set of sportswear or a gym membership.
Nice little things for a car are something that will always delight a man. As such a gift, you can choose a comfortable pillow under the back, a thermo mug for a car or an air freshener for the cabin. If you are the kind of person who is familiar with the interior of the car, then you can present something more specific (for example, new discs).
Unusual romantic gifts
If your partner is romantic and sensual, then they will love gifts that reflect your feelings. Such presents can be relevant not only on holidays, but also when leaving and forced relationships at a distance (for example, if a young man leaves to serve in the army or goes to study in another city).
The best romantic gift is one that somehow reflects your feelings. The traditional version of such a keepsake is your shared photo. You can put it in a beautiful frame or donate it yourself. On the reverse side, it is appropriate to write words of love or a cute joke.
A more creative option is a love card. Get a postcard that allows you to write your own wishes. Do not skimp on kind words, remember romantic stories, first kiss, first date or acquaintance. Attach a small wildflower to the card to add flavor, or use your own perfume. The moment a young man takes out your present, remind him of you by its aroma.
An edible gift will be more practical. Make your boyfriend a sweet set of chocolates, candies and fruits. In turn, a lover of salty snacks can put together a box of croutons, chips and crackers. Such a kit is very useful on a long journey.
If the guy does not leave anywhere, but you still want to give him an unusual romantic gift, then arrange for him original date. It can take place on the beach, in the forest, or even in the center of your city. Give him a picnic and bring him some DIY treats.
Another option is a quest with riddles and tasks. Such a gift will become an unforgettable pastime and will be remembered by you for a long time. It will be especially relevant for a holiday that takes place in the warm season, or on your anniversary (in this case, you can walk around the places of your dates).
Cool ideas
An option for a cool gift for an anniversary of a relationship or Valentine's Day - household items with your general photo. Today there are a huge number of services that offer services of this kind. Make sure you both turn out well in the photo you will be using, and also go for high resolution images. Your overall photo can be printed on a pillow or mug. And you can also make a photo puzzle, which you will then have fun putting together.
Another unusual idea is gift Certificate. Its content should depend on your boyfriend's personality, character and hobbies. So, someone will like the certificate for a master class in public speaking, while others will be impressed by the certificate for non-free services to the spa. If you want to make the gift more romantic, then purchase a similar voucher for two.
Vacation tickets are another opportunity to surprise your loved one. Depending on your financial situation, as well as the amount of free time, you can donate tickets for a week's vacation in warm countries, a weekend in Paris or a weekend in nature.
A more budgetary version of the previous gift - cinema or museum tickets Perhaps a new exhibition of paintings by your favorite artist, a guy, has been brought to your city, or a premiere film has been released on the screens of the cinema, which your beloved has been waiting for so long.
Another cool gift - a subscription to a favorite resource of a young man. Perhaps he loves listening to audiobooks or is studying English on the Internet.Subscribing to the corresponding resource will definitely come in handy.
Budget options

- Diary and pen. This gift will suit everyone. It will be especially relevant on New Year's Eve, when everyone begins to make plans and set goals for the next year.

- Key holder or business card holder... Such accessories will become necessary and indispensable things for those men who need organization and constantly lose their belongings.
- Mug. A mug is always a good gift. To add some creativity, add a few teabags, and some sweet treats.
- Shampoo or shower gel. Shampoo, shower gel, shaving lotion and similar hygiene and care products are practical and budgetary gifts.

- Bottle for water... If your boyfriend is an athlete or a follower of a healthy lifestyle, then he probably monitors his water balance. Such a simple but pleasant gift as a bottle for water will help him to comply with the drinking regime. It can be found both in a specialized sports store and in a regular supermarket.
What else can you give?
If your ideas are completely dry, and imagination and creativity refuse to work, then you can resort to simple, classic and win-win gift options.
First of all, such a gift can be book. Pick up some rare copy or new edition of your favorite work of the guy. And you can also choose a collection of stories by your favorite author. Buy a business book or medical reference book, depending on the young person's professional area. If your loved one is fond of fishing, present an encyclopedia of an angler, if self-development - then find a collection of useful tips.
Thus, even such a traditional and seemingly boring gift like a book can become an individualized and personalized present that will delight your significant other.
Another win-win option is wardrobe item. Moreover, it is not necessary to give any large and significant thing, it is enough to choose a cool T-shirt with a funny inscription or a hat. It is important to take into account the season in which you present such a present - choose things that are appropriate for the weather. And also in this category can be attributed to backpacks, briefcases, men's bags, diplomats and so on.
Thus, we were able to make sure that the choice of gifts for a guy is practically unlimited: you can give preference to both more classic and traditional things, or show your creativity and imagination by presenting an original present. Also, don't focus on your budget and focus on the things that you can't get for financial reasons. With a little creativity, even the simplest souvenir can be turned into a chic gift.
Do not forget also that you can always do something with your own hands - such gifts are most appreciated, since a piece of your soul is invested in them.
