Alright ladies, listen up. Christmas is here, and you are searching for the perfect gift for your boyfriend. I'll admit; it is a difficult task. I don't know about you, but when I ask my fiancé what he wants for the holidays, the answer is almost always "nothing." So I have compiled a list of things that you can get any man in your life for Christmas, his birthday, etc. Everything on this list is an easy gift to let him know you care.
1. Cologne
This is by far the easiest gift to get for a man—all you have to do is find the bottle that you like the best. That's right. You. If you think it smells good, then it is something you know he will wear.
2. Clothes
This also seems simple, but choosing to buy him some clothes will also end in your favor. Is there a style that you've been hoping he'd pick up? Well, snag a shirt or a pair of jeans that you think would make him feel comfortable while also looking great.
3. Gift cards
So many people think that gift cards are a lazy way out of getting someone a gift, but men love them! Grab a card to his favorite restaurant or department store! He'll be able to save a little money during his next journey to any of the aforementioned places and can buy something he likes.
4. Electronics
If you have a little extra money to splurge on his gift, go with technology. A sleek TV, a pair of nice headphones, a portable speaker, an extra controller for his Xbox, a wrist watch, a cellphone—your guy will love it!
5. Homemade Gifts & Food
These can range anywhere from a batch of your famous chocolate chip cookies and a paper card or his favorite flavor of cake baked into the shape of a Christmas tree for dessert to his favorite meal. Save a little money and stay in for the evening to celebrate a special occasion!
6. Music
Has he been talking about some of his favorite songs he's heard on the radio? Then go ahead and burn him a CD. Creating a mix tape is a thoughtful way of presenting him with music full of your memories with each other or a list of his absolute favorite songs. If you don't feel up to the task of making a playlist, head to your nearest Walmart, Best Buy, Target, etc. and pick up a few CDs of his favorite artists.
7. Movies
Has the man in your life been talking about the newest Marvel movie? Is he dying to get a collector's edition of the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings? Purchase some films you know he loves but doesn't yet own! If you can't think of what kind of DVDs he'd enjoy, consider investing in a Netflix account for him.
8. Time
This may be a little cheesy, but he may be wishing for this most of all. Are your work schedules hectic? Do you spend most of your relationship on the phone or via email? Then call his work and your own and request a day off. He'll be surprised to learn that he doesn't have to go in to work next Tuesday, and you'll get to spend the day together.
9. Travel
Similarly to Option #4, this gift idea can get a little pricey. But if the two of you have been dreaming of spending a weekend in Martha's Vineyard or taking a trip to California, go ahead and plan it! Travelzoo.com has some incredible travel options for as little as $199 per person...and that includes airfare, hotels, ground transportation, etc. Seriously, visit Travelzoo.com and you two will have the trip of a lifetime!
