Best gifts for your boyfriend: Cool gift ideas for men

Boyfriends are important people to shop for around gift-giving holidays. Ideally, you want to get him something that demonstrates three things: your love, your appreciation for him, and the fact that you know exactly what he likes. But striking the perfect balance between a thoughtful gift and a gift he’ll actually use can be tricky, whether you’re a new couple that hasn’t discussed gift guidelines yet *or* you’re running low on ideas after dating for a while.

Fortunately, you can still get your boyfriend a present he’ll love even if you don’t pride yourself on your gifting abilities — we’re here to make sure of it. First of all, think about the things your BF uses on a daily basis. Does he need a new coffee maker? Maybe his headphones are falling apart? Or perhaps he’s long overdue for a fitness tracker upgrade? You can swoop in and take care of that for him.

You could also go the route of getting him something he didn’t even know he wanted, like an air fryer or a niche subscription box. The choice is ultimately up to you, but we’re here to help make the process a little easier for you by laying out some options. (A blank Amazon search bar can be pretty intimidating if you have no idea where to start.)

So, start here. No matter what your boyfriend is like or what he likes, there’s probably something on this gift guide he’ll love and cherish. After all, your name will be on the card.
