Creative Gifts for Your Boyfriend

Gifts for your boyfriend can can get boring – how many baseball caps, bottles of cologne, or tickets to ball games can one guy stand? (Except maybe the last one.) You know how much you appreciate thoughtful gifts from your boyfriend – the latest CD of your favorite band, a bracelet you’ve been admiring for months, even a dozen roses in your favorite color. So why not return the favor and give him a creative gift that is as thoughtful as he is? Below are some ideas for creative gifts for your boyfriend.

Experience Gifts
Does your boyfriend appreciate good wines? How about a trip to a wine country for a romantic weekend getaway? Experience gifts are great because you are showing your boyfriend (a) how much you care, and (b) that you are paying attention to his likes and dislikes. Experience gifts can be a trip to the beach, a skiing weekend, whatever he loves to do (or would love to try – how about skydiving lessons?) This is one creative gift that is sure to show him how much you care.

Homemade Gifts
Believe it or not, some guys love homemade gifts, as it is a creative way to show him how much you think about him. This can be as simple as a meal you cook yourself with all his favorite foods. Or a cookie platter with all his favorite treats. If you can sew or knit, make him a nice scarf. Use any creative talents you have to create something special as a gift. (If you have amazing carpenter skills, make him a bookcase – he’ll love it!) For a sexier gift, how about some sexy photos of you or a home-made video (just be sure its nothing you'll regret if you break up!)

Gift Baskets
This is the ultimate in creative gifts, as you can get as personal as you like with this one. How about a sexy gift basket, complete with massage oils, scented gels and a lacy thong? A night-in gift basket with popcorn, candies, DVDs and a bottle of wine? You can get really creative and combine a homemade gift with the gift basket and fill one with homemade cookies and brownies.  Or give him a pampering gift basket – expensive cologne, luxurious shaving cream, a new razor, even a moisturizer or lip balm. You can make sports baskets for any sport, and tuck in some tickets if you like. Just think of your boyfriend’s favorite things, find a basket, and start shopping. He’ll really appreciate this thoughtful gift.

Personalized Gifts
This is a great way to get creative when giving your boyfriend gifts. How about bar glasses with his initials? An engraved watch? Get creative with coffee mugs with a picture of the two of you on it, or even a picture frame carved with your initials. If he’s a big golfer you can buy personalized golf towels or club covers, and if you must resort to the baseball hat get creative with his last name on the back. There is no end to what you can have personalized for your boyfriend.  (Please don’t tattoo his name on your body.)
