Have you ever felt that last-minute Christmas panic when the clock’s ticking and you still haven’t found the ideal gift for your boyfriend? Don’t worry, it happens to us all at the best of times! That’s exactly the type of feeling we’re here to help you avoid! So, let us be the first to say: welcome to this week’s gift guide! Today, we’re here to throw a few ideas in the mix, tailored to match your boyfriend’s vibe! Whether you’re in the adorable ‘matching pajamas’ phase or knee-deep into “do we have to get presents this year?”, we’re sure one of these choices will be a fantastic Christmas gift!
Christmas Gifts for the Sporty Guy
Did your boyfriend ever have that water bottle that looks like something out of the apocalypse? Battered and bruised, you can nearly hear it crying to be replaced! It might be time to listen to its tears (by which we mean, leaks) and send it packing. Customize its long-needed replacement around something he likes! Try a color scheme utilizing his favorite colors or keep it on-theme with Christmas!
Christmas Gifts for the Retro Gazer
We bet you’re still not over how record-breakingly cute your boyfriend is. Oh, speaking of records: what about a vinyl for that retro-loving man in your life? With streaming platforms being the most go-to option for music nowadays, a vinyl of his favorite musician or band would be something that tickles that vintage itch just right! Or, if he already doesn’t have one, splash out and get him his very own record player! Good luck topping that Christmas gift next year.
Christmas Gifts for the Goofy Guy
Is your boyfriend the Chandler to your Monica? Always cracking jokes and creating laughter in the room (even with those well-intended, yet terribly delivered ones)? Then, we suggest something that highlights how much you adore that part of him! Customize a tie, mug, a goofy Christmas shirt, or just about any gift with one of his most memorable jokes! Better yet, take a crack at him with one of your own!
Christmas Gifts for the Gamer
Has your gamer boyfriend been dropping what he thinks are sly hints? “Ugh, that new Nintendo Switch is out. I really need an upgrade. Guess I’ll have to wait.” Just in case you haven’t picked up on it, we’re here to tell you this is exactly what he wants. Gifts for gamers aren’t really that difficult to come up with, if you listen really closely. Throw in a new game on top of it, which may have already been hinted at, and we can almost guarantee you’ll hit that ‘Best Significant Other’ achievement this Christmas!
Christmas Gifts for the Zen Master
This one is for all of those balanced boyfriends out there – both figuratively and literally. Chances are, his yoga mat has seen more sun salutations than the actual sun, so maybe it’s time for an upgrade! Perhaps this yoga gift idea can be for Christmas time, bustling in reds, greens, and whites, or you could even base it around his favorite colors! Either way, bonus points on adding a little pizazz. If you’re feeling extra gifty this year, top it off with a delightful scented candle!
Christmas Gifts for the Animal Lover
Do you have that kind of boyfriend who would adopt just about any animal if he could? For this gift, we’re going to place an emphasis on the word ‘adopt.’ Through the World Wildlife Fund, you can take part in a symbolic adoption and place it in his name. He’ll even get a certificate, a card, a gift bag, and an adorable plush of whatever animal you choose! Throw out some feelers on his favorite animals or, better yet, let him decide which one he’s going to adopt!
Christmas Gifts for the Urban Explorer
We all know those people who love exploring their city – discovering new cafes, historical abandoned buildings, photographing street art and murals, and somehow know just about every cool spot! All these guys need are three things: a journal, their phone, and a tote bag or a backpack (for the rest of their miscellaneous things). Once they have that, you best believe they’ll be out for hours and hours, making mental maps of where to take you next!
Christmas Gifts for the Thrill-Seekers
This one is for the boyfriends out there whose favorite gifts are those thrills that create amazing stories. And what better way to do that than through an adventure experience? There are so many different options, you’re bound to find one in or around your state! This could be a brilliant bonding experience for the two of you, or if you’d like a day all to yourself while he adventures with his buddies! Best be careful, though: this will set a precedent for future Christmases!
Christmas Gifts for the Sentimental Soul
Do you have a boyfriend who doesn’t just celebrate the holidays, but treasures and remembers every single moment? These guys deserve to get all the love back! If there’s one thing sentimental souls adore, it’s a reminder of the wonderful times you spent with them. On that note, we suggest a piece of photo art! Every time he looks at a picture, he’ll be transported back in time to that precious moment.
Christmas Gifts for the Traveler
Is your boyfriend the kind of guy who thinks about the next place on his bucket list? Once the getaway is over, his mind is very likely onto the next great adventure! Well, we think we’ve got the right idea for you – a brand new travel camera! That way, he can capture every moment of his adventure in high definition and save it for the rest of his life! Ricoh, Fujifilm, Sony, and Canon are some of the best brands to choose from, so take your pick! And while you’re at it, consider customizing some travel accessories. We wouldn’t want that brand new camera ending up in someone else’s hands!
Well, folks, thank you for making your way through this week’s gift guide! Don’t forget, whether you choose to get a personalized Christmas gift or something a little bit more traditional, it’s the thought behind it that counts the most. We wish the two of you a very, very Merry Christmas! Happy gifting!
