When you’re dating someone, it’s hard to see them feeling sad, especially if you can’t do anything to fix it. If your boyfriend has been feeling down lately, you might be thinking of picking him up something special. Since guys are sometimes a little hard to shop for, we’ve compiled a list of great gifts you could buy your boyfriend to cheer him up and make his day a little better.
Music playlist. Give your boyfriend a gift he can listen to forever. Spend an hour putting songs that remind you of him on a Spotify or YouTube playlist, then send him the link. He can listen to them while he’s driving, doing homework, or just relaxing. You could also pick uplifting songs that might make him feel better! Try to stay away from sad, slow songs, since that could make him feel even more down.
New reading material. A good book can be a great distraction. Head to a bookstore and pick up something that your boyfriend might like. If he’s not a huge reader, send him an audiobook instead. You could also pick up a comic book or a graphic novel if you think he might like that more. Or, send him an e-book that he can read on his phone or e-reader.
Fun video game. If your boyfriend is a gamer, he’ll appreciate this one. Figure out which game he’s been wanting for a while, then either buy it in-person or online. Make sure you double check with him about what console he has and which version of the game he wants before you make your purchase! You can buy most video games online now through the consoles themselves. If you want it to be a surprise, though, you can head to a game store and get a physical copy.
Something hobby-related. What does your boyfriend like to do in his free time? Get him something that he needs for his hobby that he’s been wanting for a while. It doesn’t have to be super expensive just something he’ll appreciate. For example, if he’s into Dungeons and Dragons, you could buy him a new set of dice. If he’s into woodworking, grab him a new pair of work gloves or safety goggles. If your boyfriend is a skater, get him some new wheels for his deck. If he likes photography, see if he needs any new lens caps.
Gag gift. Make your boyfriend giggle with a ridiculous present. You could try a Chia pet of his favorite celeb, an impossible jigsaw puzzle, a book of activities to do while he poos, or a toilet night light. Head to an online retailer like Amazon or Etsy to find great gifts that will make him chuckle. You could also try a book of dad jokes, silly socks, a T-shirt or apron with a funny phrase, or printed toilet paper.
Self-care package. Boys like to be pampered, too. Fill a basket with anything self-care related, like fun soap, lotion, a face mask, and cozy socks. Give it to your boyfriend and spend the afternoon pampering him with his new items. Not every dude will like this option, and that’s okay. If your boyfriend isn’t the pampering type, you might want to go with something else.
