It is worth considering how to make the gift seem interesting, beautiful and appropriate at the same time. In this article, we will tell you about the most interesting gift ideas for a boyfriend for the New Year, as well as give tips on choosing them.
Best options
There is no optimal gift that every guy would be happy with - it should be understood at the very beginning. Each gift should be treated individually, trying to put yourself in the shoes of your boyfriend. It's worth considering a list of recommended gifts based on your boyfriend's hobbies.
Athletes
It is sometimes difficult for a guy-athlete to choose a suitable gift, because if he has been doing something for a long time and seriously, most likely, he has already acquired everything he needs. Your task is to surreptitiously find out which of the accessories he needs most now. As a rule, real professionals often dream about such things out loud. Let's take a closer look at the successful options for gifts that can be presented to a sports guy.
- If the guy is a cyclist, then functional may be ideal. bike tracker or speedometer to measure your current speed and outside temperature. A nice and quirky water bottle, a powerful flashlight for night trips, a bike care kit, or good sunglasses with sunshine are a good gift.
If we are talking about a young man who goes in for cycling professionally, then you can take care of buying a set to protect the body from injuries: helmets and knee pads.
- If a guy plays sports related to regular jogging, he may come in handy high quality breathable thermal underwear. For regular jogging in winter, he will definitely need a special hat or mask, comfortable and warm gloves for running, wristbands.
It is not recommended to buy separate items of clothing or shoes for jogging, guys prefer to choose such things on their own.
- For a guy who loves strength exercises, various dumbbells, pancakes, sports pears, special gloves... Here they can look good preparations for sports nutritionfor example, a good and expensive protein.
- A universal option for every athlete guy would be convenient and functional fitness tracker, which can track your current heart rate, blood pressure and steps taken during the day.
If the guy is not involved in any of the sports described above, you should go to a sports store and consult with a sales assistant about what kind of sports equipment might suit your young man. Try to communicate your boyfriend's sporting preferences in detail to the salesperson. A gift for a sporty young man does not have to be material in nature. The following gifts may be considered:
- if he wants to get to a future tournament or match of his favorite team, please him by buying tickets for good seats;
- maybe your friend has repeatedly expressed his desire to sign up for a workout in the gym, in which case, buy a subscription;
- any experienced athlete understands the benefits of regular massage, so buying a subscription to a sports massage course somewhere near home would be a good option.
Important! If you choose just such a gift, try not to be compulsory for the young man. For example, he does not have time to go to the same gym right now due to difficulties at work, at the same time the subscription hours will gradually burn out, which can cause negativity and discontent.
For hunters and fishermen
Choosing a gift for a young man or a man who is seriously engaged in fishing or hunting is a rather complicated process. Often, girls have little idea of the peculiarities of a particular male hobby, therefore they refuse such gifts in favor of the well-known classics in the form of panties and cologne.
However, let's figure out what can be really useful for these guys. Immediately we will try to discard those things and accessories that are of a general universal nature for outdoor recreation. These will be covered in the list of gifts for guys who are traveling.
You should immediately refuse to buy decorative elements that somehow depict the husband's hobbies. This includes various stands in the form of some kind of fish, models and stuffed pikes and other large rubles. For a guy who spends most of his free time away from home, this will be a completely useless gift.
The list of gifts for a young man who is keen on fishing is quite long. These are all kinds of fishing rods, spinning rods, nets, waders, reels, fishing lines, wobblers and spinners, universal fishing kits with a huge number of tools for every occasion.
All these things can be quite expensive, but the New Year's date is significant in itself, so you shouldn't spare your money.
The subtlety of selection is to buy something really necessary. It is worth asking him in advance what kind of fishing he is fond of, what tools he now lacks. Otherwise, it may turn out that he loves to catch predatory fish using a spinning rod, and you will buy him an item or accessory for fly fishing.
Do not forget that you can always turn to sellers and consultants in stores for recommendations.
Guys, keen on hunting, are in dire need of warm clothing and devices for orientation on the ground. Camouflage suits, navigators, cases and sets for cleaning guns, special rocket launchers are ideal here. Various sets for the traveler will look great here, which will be discussed a little later.
To understand what kind of belonging a young man needs right now, try to ask him about his hobby. Listen more often to what the guy is talking about after the hunt or fishing. As a rule, problematic moments of an acute lack of something immediately surface. Maybe he lost an expensive spinner, a knife, or broke the reel.
Because of its acute importance, such a gift will be even more enjoyable.
For motorists
A car is a complex organism with a million separate elements, so choosing a gift for a guy who is fond of a car and everything connected with it is quite simple. As a rule, the car constantly needs some kind of care and replacement of certain accessories, for which any person may not always have the means.
Try to ask the guy how he is doing with the car, if everything is working properly, there may be some problems. This, most likely, will bring you closer, and in addition, you will also learn about problematic and missing parts in the car - men talk about this especially persistently and often.
- Modern car - a mechanism that mostly works on electronic devices and commands, so at the very beginning it is worth considering the purchase of various electronic accessories that can make life easier for any motorist - these are navigators, video recorders, radio tape recorders. The purchase of such gifts should be treated with extreme caution.
They cost a lot and there is a great chance to buy a low-quality device in the absence of minimal experience.
- Semi-decorative interior items Is your next step towards choosing a gift. This includes seat covers, foot mats, heated covers, car relaxers, car pillows. This also includes small elements of the interior such as cleaning products, shading nets, thermo mugs. It is better to give small things in a set, since individually they do not look solid, every motorist can buy them at any time.
- Purely decorative elements - cover for documents, toys in the car interior, fragrances.
- Can you please your boyfriend by a subscription or a session for cleaning and washing a car, or buy him a card at a good discount at his favorite car shop.
- A regular car kit is also a good option. It will come in handy for any car enthusiast who is going to travel long distances.
Important! Some interior items, including digital elements, may not fit your boyfriend's car, so before buying, ask the guy for the make of his car and feel free to go to the car dealership with this information.
Intellectuals
Young people are considered intellectuals who prefer to spend most of their time reading books or studying some new hypotheses, theories, versions.
Let's take a look at what gifts are best for these guys.
- As trite as it may sound, a book is often the best gift for such a person. This, of course, is not just a book, but a part of some collector's edition, a rare printed copy of your young man's favorite poet or writer. Or it might just be an expensive book with many useful articles, equations, or theorems on a specific topic.
- If not a printed book, then an electronic one. This option is better because at the same time you can carry with you not 5 or 7 books, but just one half-kilo plate, with the actual content in the whole library. These books are inexpensive, easy to manage. They can be found in any gadget store.
- The gift can be insubstantial. You can buy your boyfriend a ticket to a lecture by a renowned scientist or linguist that your boyfriend has long enjoyed. Alternatively, you can buy him a six-month subscription to an Internet library with a large selection of books and high-quality translation.
- To make the gift from the heart, you can independently make a cover for your favorite book of your loved one. This will definitely please him.
Creative individuals
Here, the choice of a gift very much depends on your boyfriend's current hobby. Depending on his interests, the following list of gifts can be changed and adjusted. Remember only one thing - such people do not tolerate one-sided, banal and mediocre gifts. They, of course, will not pretend that they are upset, but, most likely, they will remain internally unhappy that their rich inner world was left unattended.
- The very first thing that can come to your mind is a ticket or invitation to a concert of your favorite singer, band, composer.
Such a gift will be of great value if your boyfriend has been dreaming about this concert for a very long time.
- If your boyfriend's hobbies are related to the visual, vocal or rhetorical art, then it will be useful to purchase a subscription to master classes from some well-known authority in the industry.
- Things that are directly related to the creativity of a young man. For an artist, this can be a set of high-quality brushes, paints, canvases, perhaps an easel. For a vocalist - items of clothing, cufflinks, an interesting tie, an unusual belt. For a musician, it can be various devices, for example, a new guitar. For a guy who is actively involved in dancing, you can buy some funny figurine in the form of a dancing man. To this it will be useful to add a personalized inscription with the name of your boyfriend.
Lovers of gadgets
Giving a gift to a young man who is seriously interested in computers and gadgets is problematic. In order for the gift to be useful and appropriate, it is advisable to at least understand this a little yourself. In any case, digital gifts always remain relevant, so below yours there is a list of items that one way or another should please your gadget lover guy.
- A fashionable and gaining popularity gadget is now considered bluetooth headphones. These are headphones that don't need a special wire to connect to the phone. They can be controlled remotely within 10-12 meters, depending on the model. Imagine that you walk into the kitchen wearing headphones to cook something and have nowhere to put your phone.
With bluetooth headphones, you just leave the phone in the room and the signal, including music, will not be lost if you leave with the headphones to another room.
- Selfie stick, as well as a selfie button with bluetooth for a complete set. The first allows you to place the phone at the right distance from your face to find a better angle, and the second prevents you from reaching for the phone to take a picture.
- Case for phone can be a good help in relation to all gifts, if made in some unusual and unique design
- Power bank - an irreplaceable thing for those who like to use the phone for a long time. It allows you to connect your phone to a storage device that, depending on the size of the battery, can fully charge your smartphone several times.
- Memory card or flash card. To make the gift seem solid, you should choose a card with a memory capacity of at least 16 or 32 gigabytes.
- If you can afford a purchase more expensive than 10 thousand rubles, you should think about a present as SSD, new processor, motherboard, or RAM for computer. These gifts are worth buying only if your boyfriend has repeatedly spoken about their need.
To buy such expensive things, you should contact a specialist or be savvy in the topic of computers yourself.
- For a beginner blogger or streamer, almost the best gift would be a special computer chair or headphones with a good microphone and sound.
- For an avid gamer, a cool gift would be keyboard, mouse (possibly wireless) and backlit case.
- Gadgets - these are not only computers and telephones, but also cameras. For a guy who is actively involved in photography, a volumetric external drive, a power-bank for a quick charge of the camera, a high-quality tripod with stable and long legs, and a camera holder are suitable. If you yourself are versed in the subject of photography and are ready to spend more than 6,000 rubles, you can think about buying a flash for your camera.
For travelers
A gift for a traveling guy shouldn't be so much unique as incredibly practical and useful. Immediately refuse gifts in the form of decorative items for the home. People who love nature and are not able to sit still will immediately completely forget about such a present and go to plan a trip somewhere to a new unknown place. Below you can see an approximate list of things that may be appropriate in this case.
- It is worth starting by looking at electronic and digital gadgets. They replace most of the standard accessories for every traveler. This is a GPS navigator with a map base, a digital compass, a fitness watch for tracking the number of steps and ambient temperature, a powerful flashlight with replaceable batteries, a gas burner for cooking.
To avoid getting bored on the road, especially if you are traveling alone, you can buy him a good portable radio station. Most likely, the guy will be happy with any of these gifts.
- Try to find out from the guy what set of tools he uses on his hikes and travels.... Then you can conclude what exactly he might need. It can be a voluminous thermos with high-quality heat retention, a universal set of tourist dishes, a multitool or a multifunctional knife, a beautiful and convenient flask, a lighter with a cool and unusual design, a warm and comfortable folding chair.
- Cooking devices and sets: barbecue, barbecue.
- clothing Is not the last item on this list. This includes sets of thermal underwear, sleeping bags, warm socks, functional mittens with the ability to open only the fingers, a warm hat.
- You don’t have to give something tangible for guys who love to travel. If we are talking about your beloved boyfriend or old friend, consider buying a ticket to some places with mountains, trails and rivers. Your boyfriend will most likely be fascinated by such a gift.
- A standard wilderness survival kit might be a good option.... This usually includes: a knife, a flask, carbines, a lighter, first aid items.
The military
There are guys for whom the main goal of life is to serve their country and protect it from internal and external threats. Such young people are hardened by the army, so only the most useful and practical things will be included in the list of successful gifts for them.
- clothing... Since the uniform of any military man has a strictly defined look that cannot be changed much, all that you can give in this case is a good army belt, themed cufflinks or nice, warm and comfortable boots.
- Decorative thingsthat a real military man could appreciate, there are not so many. Often these are some kind of souvenirs, figurines, paintings, watches or cases with a military theme.
- Practical things, without which you cannot do on hikes: an army set, a multitool, a thermos, a thermo mug with a military print, an army flask.
If you are going to celebrate the New Year in the company of your boyfriend and his military acquaintances, it might make sense to organize a pinball or laser tag session. This will simultaneously give the situation a humorous form and amuse all the participants.

How to choose?
As you can see from the article, there are many gift options. But how in this set to choose exactly the gift that will be the best. Below are instructions for a more accurate approach to choosing a gift for your beloved boyfriend, your boyfriend or groom.
- Some guys may openly hint about what exactly they need, so it's enough just to listen more often to their desires and current interests. If this does not help, then it is worth asking for help from friends and family of your young man, they will tell you a few ideas for buying.
- First, make a list of your boyfriend's hobbies and interests. Try to isolate the most and least influential interests from this list. Then work with those that seem more significant to you.
- Once you've picked a hobby or occupation that you consider to be your boyfriend's most important job, just learn more about it. Read articles on this topic, browse forums, take a look at sites selling things on this topic. You will find many interesting options.
- To make the choice easier, reduce the list of potential gifts to 2-3 items.
Further choice of a gift will depend on the following items:
- your financial capabilities;
- the relevance of the gift in relation to the New Year;
- the practical value of individual gifts.
Based on this little test, you can choose the perfect gift option. If you are completely limited in finances, but still want to please your young man, you can buy him purely symbolic New Year's mittens or a hat. Such a gift looks budgetary, but very cute.
To choose a gift for an unfamiliar guy, you should refuse global and expensive gifts: immediately cross out digital devices, subscriptions for joint sessions somewhere, complex sets for hobbies from your list. The biggest mistake at this stage is to give an absolutely unnecessary gift. In this case, the gift should be symbolic rather than practical or useful.
You still do not know the person well enough to give him some local things for hobbies.
If you have serious plans for this guy, then the best gift would be something made with your own hands. This will show the young man that you sympathize with him and are ready to spend not money on him, but your personal time.
A real gentleman will appreciate such a gift, because giving something that is not needed, but made with your own hands, is much better than giving something absolutely useless and bought somewhere on the market for a few rubles. For an acquaintance or friend with whom you rarely communicate, but maintain a relationship, a gift can be a pure formality. Well-worn, but practical and useful items are ideal here, for example, a shaving kit or hairstyle care, the same eau de toilette or key rings, mugs, scarves.
This shows the person that you care about them, but that you are not yet ready to start a closer friendship or romantic relationship.
Choosing a gift for an ordinary friend with whom you have known for a long time and often spend time together watching a movie or just having a cup of tea or evening walks is a simple task. As a rule, we know our real friends best of all, so we are always aware of what they want.
There are often cases when, after the end of the relationship, communication in a couple does not stop and develops into something that can be called friendship. The choice of a gift for an ex-boyfriend depends only on what level you attribute this person to - to the level of a friend or acquaintance. Depending on your answer to this question, the price characteristics of the gift and the thoroughness of its selection, of course, will change.
How to register?
The design of the future gift depends on what kind of effect you want to have on your boyfriend.
Below is a list of possible ways to decorate gifts.
- The easiest but most elegant way to wrap a gift is buy a beautiful gift box for the size of the present, place the present inside, carefully wrap the box in the gift wrapping, use a decorative ribbon to form a bow of beautiful ribbons at the top of the gift. You can order the wrapping at any gift store, they can even make it for you for free if the gift was bought there. You can add a postcard with the most important words to the big picture.
- In order for the gift to be perceived as a kind of surprise, it is worth arranging the box in the form of a matryoshka... So that the gift itself is in the smallest of the packages. This option is only suitable for small gifts.
- The gift is inside the sweetness. In this case, you are placing the main present inside something larger, but less significant (most often it is a cake). As a result, when the guy gets to the middle, you get round eyes and a lot of fun in a lucky surprise.
- A mystery gift. In this case, the design of the gift is not particularly important, the execution and the idea are important here. All that is required of you is to come up with a line of riddles and hints by which your boyfriend could independently find a gift in some closed room or apartment. This will only spur interest in the search and increase the intensity of passions.
- So that the gift is perceived as unexpectedly as possible, you can surprise your boyfriend... Just say that you will be late at work or that you are in a traffic jam. He will come home upset, and there you are already - waiting for him with a gift, a set table and hugs.
What should not be gifted?
Finally, let's figure out a list of things that should be donated only as a last resort. To better understand this problem - try to take the place of this young man and imagine what you least wanted to see. Most likely, this list will immediately include all kinds of shower accessories and household dust collectors, which, in fact, have no practical value.
Let's take a closer look at those gifts that give the guy the least pleasure.
- Immediately cross off lingerie and clothing items such as socks, underpants or pajamas, trowels... This is a standard time-worn gift that causes nothing but frustration and embarrassment. Gifts of this kind may only be appropriate if they are humorous, unusual in nature - for example, socks with a unique print or a set of panties with a funny pattern. The main thing is that such a gift should seem appropriate for the guy himself.
- Appearance care supplies: all kinds of sets of shaving accessories, sprays, gels, foams, styling. This is not to say that such a gift will not be pleasant to any guy. But he can buy all this on his own, and it also has nothing to do with the New Year.
- Small to medium sized decorative items such as figurines, piggy banks, figurines, table clocks or paintings. All this is perceived by an ordinary guy as an ordinary dust collector, which he will forget about in a few days. A gift of this type will be successful only if it directly relates to the activities of the young person. For example, if he collects certain figurines from books or games, and you give him the missing one. Rest assured, the success of such a gift is guaranteed.
- The next common "scourge" of gifts - soft decorative accessories and toys. This includes pillows, soft play items, and bedding such as rugs and bedspreads. All this also has no practical meaning, so it will be safely forgotten in a week.
- Better not to give eau de toilette as a gift, even if it is very expensive. The problem is that your tastes in perfumery can vary greatly.
- Money gift - a controversial present that not all girls are ready to offer to guys. Such a gift looks appropriate only if you are the sister of a young man or have known him for a long time to understand that it is the money he needs now. If your acquaintance with a guy is only growing, then such a gift may simply not be accepted, as it looks dismissive and will embarrass any decent young man.
- You should not give anything related to the coming year. No gift could be more useless for the average guy. After all, the same mug, T-shirt or statuette depicting the symbol of the next year will be irrelevant very soon. Such gifts are only suitable as a joke and a joke.
- Don't give too expensive gifts (unless you are in a long-term relationship). In this case, there is a great chance to simply embarrass the young man. In the same way, you consciously raise the bar for the value of the gift that he should give you at the next opportunity. And if your New Year's gifts are too different in value, an awkward situation can arise.
