15 amazing Christmas gift ideas for your boyfriend

Have you been brainstorming gift ideas for the man in your life, but nothing seems to click? You wait for inspiration to strike, but suddenly, boom! It’s Christmas! And it still hasn’t struck?!  You leave off shopping until the very last minute while you procrastinate, and this is what happens. But don’t worry; there are still some cool Christmas ideas for your boyfriend that will work.  If you want to break out of the standard boy gift ideas that usually abound, here’s your chance.

What to get a minimalist boyfriend?
It’s a headache to buy something for a minimalist. What to get for someone who has already cut off all the excesses from his lifestyle? Even if they have a ‘no gift’ sign written on their face, you can’t just exclude them from your list.  An indoor plant would be a great idea. Find some exotic indoor plants that he can take care of. If your boyfriend is a little absentminded, make sure to get something that needs less maintenance, such as succulents.

Are watches still on trend?
Watches might seem like a generic Christmas gift for a guy, but the appeal of a luxurious watch never gets old. Watches are very adaptable, and he’ll wear it all the time, reminding him of you of coursed 😉 But most importantly watches can be both formal and informal worn for lots of different occasions. So one more watch is never too many. You can browse the threadcurve website for some cool trendy watches.

How about a nerdy gift?
You’ll never run out of cool gift ideas for your nerdy guy. And if you are also veering on the geeky side, all the better for you. There are lots of fandom merchandise that you can choose from like a real-life invisibility cloak or bobbing head Groot to guard your desk. Or you can go for something timeless, such as a Blu Ray DVD of David Attenborough’s BBC documentary series “Seven World, One Planet”. With Attenborough’s soothing voice narrating in the background, this could be the perfect way to spend a cosy Christmas together.

What about something that fuses the past and present?
If your boyfriend is not much into gadgets but rather prefers something vintage, the portable suitcase record player might be the perfect gift for him. You get a feeling of the past with its gramophone type design but at the same time, completely modern with the Bluetooth feature.  This is fun and function rolled into past and present. Perfect.

A bluetooth beanie to keep bobbing his head with music
A Bluetooth beanie is brilliant for outdoor runners. These hats are cosy and functional, sure to be a favourite gift this Christmas. What more do they want when they have a beanie to keep them warm in winter while jogging to the beat of the music. Even if he’s not a runner, these cold mornings walking the dog or going to work, will require a hat and if he’s not a big music fan, he can listen to his audio-books.

How about some exercise gear?
With most of the gym activities closed or restricted for the pandemic, some home gym equipment might be the perfect Christmas gift for your boyfriend. You can get a cable training machine that is portable and suitable for stretching muscles in every part of your body. With new home gym accessories, your boyfriend doesn’t have to ditch the practice of keeping fit even during the lock-down.

Is aftershave too boring?
Aftershave is a great last-minute gift. But you should make sure you know his choice of smells. If you are in doubt, then pick something mild and suitable for every occasion.

How about something that keeps him warm this winter?
Nothing screams Christmas more than seating around the Christmas tree with your family being wrapped up in your fuzzy warm sweater. A cozy sweater will be a thoughtful him this Christmas. While there might be an unwritten ugly sweater-wearing competition in your family, you should get something more special for your boyfriend. A light cashmere sweater is a lovely gift.

Is he into fishing?
If your boyfriend is the outdoorsy type, you might consider gifting him with some fishing gear. There are fishing gears available for both pro and amateur fishing lovers’. From fishing poles, tackle boxes, lure set, and fishing gloves, there are plenty of options to choose from. But take care not to choose something unsuitable, fishing enthusiasts can be a bit picky about their fishing gears.

How about planning a day trip?
A surprise day trip can be a perfect get away from all the gloom that this year has presented us with. Even if travelling is still restricted, you can plan a day trip somewhere close. If the weather is ok, you can plan organise a hike or hill walk and bring a picnic.

Does he love his coffee?
Does your boyfriend have a large collection of exotic coffees that he loves to flaunt around? So why not add another variety to his prized collection? You can get him some bourbon-infused coffee to add the perfect warmth to this holiday season. Or you can find some customised barista sign to display his love for coffee.

How about some art supplies?
For all the misery that this pandemic has presented us, it also has provided us with time to explore a new hobby. If your boyfriend has taken up painting or any artsy hobby during this lockdown, now might be the perfect time to surprise him with some art supplies that he covets. Or you can gift him some digital canvas to play around with. Graphics tablets for beginners are both budget-friendly and will be enough to fuel the fire to his artistic streak.

Kitchen gear
Does he love cooking? If yes, then some customised kitchen gear could be the perfect gift for him. To honour his kitchen adventure you can get a personalied engraved cutting board or a handy gadget like an automated stirrer and timer, a stainless steel multi blade scissors, or go the whole hog and get him a make your own kit – there’s tonnes on the market, pizza, bread, hot sauce, cookies – the choice is yours. He might even try them out those right away and bake you some Christmas cookies!

We know you hate gaming, but hey, it’s Christmas!
It’s definitely irritating when he’s engrossed in some game for hours, without giving you the slightest bit of attention. But hey, that’s what a night out for you is for, right? As annoying as might feel at times, you know he’s going to love it if you get him a game. You can also get some gaming accessories like a gaming console or gaming chair. You’ll be the world’s best present giver.

On a final note, shopping for your guy never gets easier; no matter how straightforward or understandable they are. Even though, we sometimes ignore what’s right in front of our eyes, if you tune in to that person, it gets easier to find the perfect gift for him. But don’t overthink it. Happy holiday!
