Whether it’s Christmas,\u00a0Valentine’s Day, his birthday, or ‘just because,’ choosing a gift for your teenage boyfriend is hard work. You don’t want to be too mushy or romantic, but you also don’t want to get him a gift that doesn’t mean anything. Think about his interests, moments you have shared together and your budget, and then use these gift ideas to help narrow down your choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you know what your guy likes, you may be able to find the perfect gift at the mall or online. Before you start looking, set a budget. You don’t need to empty your savings to get a gift your boyfriend will like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Guys who love engineering and gaming will be happy to receive a DIY game kit. For $40 you can buy the\u00a0Wooden Marble Run\u00a0where he must assemble laser-cut wood into an entertaining contraption. If you’ve got a little more to spend, the\u00a0Build Your Own Pinball game is $50 and uses rubber band power to work a small cardboard pinball game. Definitely for the guy who likes to tinker, these gifts might provide some bonding time while the two of you put them together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Most teens have a special connection with their\u00a0cellphones. If your boyfriend can’t live without his phone, a fun accessory is a perfect gift. Create a\u00a0custom phone case\u00a0using a picture of the two of you, something that represents a hobby he loves, or your favorite place to hang together. For a smaller budget, get him a silly cellphone stand like a\u00a0dinosaur tail\u00a0or\u00a0an astronaut. Make sure whatever you get fits his personality and interests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Have a nerdy guy? Let him know you appreciate his hobbies with a robotics kit. Robotics kits range in prices, from the $180\u00a0EZrobot Robot Developer Kit, which allows him to customize a unique robot, to a\u00a0Robotic Arm\u00a0(which costs around $45). Alternatively, stores like the\u00a0Maker Shed\u00a0and\u00a0Robot Shop\u00a0offer gift certificates that you can get in any amount you want so that your guy can spend money on toys he’ll enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
You can get almost any product in a subscription box today. These are the packages you get monthly that include everything from shaving supplies to snacks. Most services allow you to choose a one-time, three-month, six-month, or year-round monthly subscription. Look for a company that provides something your guy is into.\u00a0Lootcrate\u00a0features fandom gear for under $20 per month while\u00a0Say It With a Sock\u00a0gives him a new fun pair of socks each month for around $10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If your guy is seriously into sports, tickets for an upcoming game or match are a great gift idea. Package the tickets inside a foam finger to make opening the present more exciting. Ticket websites like\u00a0StubHub\u00a0are great places to see what’s happening in your area. If you can’t quite afford game tickets, there are lots of other awesome sports-related gifts. Get him a jersey from his favorite team, new sporting equipment like an exclusive edition basketball, or a collector’s item from his favorite player. Online retailer,\u00a0Fanatics\u00a0has a huge selection of apparel, accessories and memorabilia for nearly every major sports team or organization from basketball and football to racing and soccer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If your boyfriend’s favorite band is coming to town, get him tickets to a show. It doesn’t have to be a music event either. Tickets to a local amusement park also make a fun gift. If it’s in the winter, look for things like skiing, tubing or any other event the two of you could do together that he would really enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
For something a little cheaper than a concert or game tickets, give him tickets to a popular movie. Buy general movie tickets so he can pick a movie or get them for a movie you already know he’s dying to see. Order tickets directly from the movie theater or from a website like\u00a0Fandango. Package tickets up in a movie-themed gift basket with popcorn and candy to make it more fun.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have a theater close by you can also\u00a0get him a DVD\u00a0or\u00a0download a movie\u00a0the two of you saw together or the latest season of his favorite TV show. DVD’s or Blu-rays are great because they often include special features like gag reels or behind-the-scenes secrets, so look for a movie with lots of extras.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Guys who listen to music a lot would also love a fun speaker they can plug into their phone or MP3 player. Look for one with a unique style like this\u00a0just kidding emoji wireless speaker\u00a0or one with fun features like lights and vibrations. If he’s into playing music, you might even consider getting him a new instrument. Wrap this up in a package that includes a CD or T-shirt from his favorite band.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you have to pry your boyfriend’s fingers away from his controller, a video game may be the best gift ever. Look for the latest edition of his favorite game or get him a gift card to his favorite game store, like\u00a0GameStop, so he can choose games. Gaming accessories like a new controller in a fun color or limited design would be great too. Make sure you know which console(s) he has, so you know he will actually be able to use the gift you get him. If you’re not sure about his console or game preferences, you could get him a collection like a\u00a0mini retro arcade game\u00a0set. A subscription to a video game rental service like\u00a0GameFly\u00a0may also be something he’ll enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Some guys have a pretty laid back style and are not too concerned about the clothes they wear, but that doesn’t mean your boyfriend will not appreciate a special piece of clothing as a gift. Get him a\u00a0funny T-shirt\u00a0or a shirt featuring his favorite movie character. Pay attention to his style and brand loyalty and look for something that fits him, but also stands out, like a\u00a0limited edition hoodie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Believe it or not, your boyfriend may care a lot about how he smells when he’s around you. Get him a bottle of his favorite cologne or the scent you would like for him to wear. Head to the store and start testing out fragrances to make sure you pick something you’ll love to smell.\u00a0Aqua di Gio\u00a0by Giorgio Armani is one of the\u00a0most popular fragrances\u00a0for young men because it’s not too strong and heavy. If he already has a favorite cologne, look for a gift set in that scent that might include things like body spray and body wash in the same fragrance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you are still having trouble thinking of something for your man, get him a\u00a0gift card\u00a0to his favorite store. He’ll likely appreciate the fact that you didn’t get him something he would hate and when he picks out an item at the store, he’ll be thinking of how sweet the gift card from you was. Create a custom gift card with\u00a0MasterCard\u00a0where you upload a personal photo to display as the card’s background and add any amount of money. The\u00a0MyVanilla Prepaid Card\u00a0allows your guy to withdraw the funds as cash at an ATM and add money to the account so he can use it like a bank account. To make gift cards more exciting, wrap them creatively. For example, you could place the card in an extra large box or a series of nesting boxes so he has to hunt for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Teenage boys love to eat. Give your boyfriend a basket of his\u00a0favorite snacks\u00a0as a gift so he’ll have a stockpile to grab from. You could also get him a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant or offer to take him out on a dinner date. Think about what\u00a0he likes to eat\u00a0and look for unique options with that food. For example, if he loves Cheetos, maybe you could get him a basket full of every kind of Cheetos on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Jewelry is not just for girls. You can give your boyfriend a special piece of jewelry to wear to remember you. Give him some\u00a0dog tags\u00a0engraved with a special message or a chain with a special charm on it. Rope bracelets, chains,\u00a0leather jewelry\u00a0like engraved cuffs,\u00a0shell necklaces and titanium necklaces are also popular jewelry options for guys. Look for something he’ll actually wear and customize it with engraving to make it more special.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Don’t stress too much about the amount of money you spend on your\u00a0boyfriend’s gift\u00a0or worry that you will never find the\u00a0perfect gift. Pay attention to his interests and things he points out that he likes when the two of you are together and\u00a0finding a gift\u00a0will be easy. The point of the gift isn’t to impress him with how good of a shopper you are or how much money you have, it’s to show him that you care about him. Most guys are fairly easy to please. Chances are he’ll love anything you get him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
