At last, the season of love is upon us, and many are scrambling to find the gift that shows our special someone how much we really care. If you have a masculine partner who is impossible to buy for, this can feel unnecessarily stressful, especially if they don’t give much away on what they want.
While there’s nothing wrong with chocolates, stuffed toys, or the favourite bottle of cologne, these presents can easily get repetitive as the years go by. Try mixing things up for your beau this year with these three categories and explore all the gift ideas for the boyfriend to wow him for the holiday.
Personal gifts
This category is perfect for men who like to take extra care of themselves. If your partner doesn’t give much away on items he wants or needs, pay attention to his personal care routine and see what items could be some of his favourites.
For instance, does your hubby have a strict skincare routine? Consider stocking up on his favourite moisturiser, cleanser, and razors and make a cute gift basket. Is he growing a beard or maintaining one? Try beard creams, combs, speciality shavers and beard shampoo instead.
For the guys less into hair or skincare, consider getting something fun and useful, like funky boxers with patterns of his favourite team or characters. You can even opt for matching couples’ sets with silly patterns. Anything that’ll make him feel extra special and put together.
Tools that will be put to use
Oftentimes, we default to buying tools as masculine gifts without much real thought. If your partner is into building or fixing things around the house, a small tool kit or speciality saw is fine. But whether your guy is a handyman or not, there are plenty of tools that can be useful to him for many different hobbies.
For example, if he likes to work on cars in his spare time, why not invest in tools he may need, like a diagnostics scanner or an at-home car lift? If he’s a foodie who knows his way around the kitchen, a new knife set, set of spices, or speciality pan would be a thoughtful and fun take on your average Valentine’s gift.
Really take the time to think about the things your boyfriend likes to do and find a sweet way to show your support in the activities that matter most to him with these gift ideas for the boyfriend that is hard to buy for.
