Does anyone else feel like the more you love someone, the harder it is to shop for them? Like I always put so much more pressure on myself to find the most sentimental, thoughtful, and personalized gift on the market for my fave person, which—spoiler alert—takes freaking forever. If this sounds familiar, you probably have the hardest time in the world finding a prezzie for your significant other. Luckily, we did all the hard work for you by rounding up the 65 best birthday gift ideas for your boyfriend, below.
Whether it’s a new relationship so you don’t even know where to start or you’ve been together for so long that you’ve used up all your good gift ideas on anniversaries, Valentine’s Days, holidays, and birthdays past, these unique birthday gifts for every type of boyfriend will serve as the cherry on top to that romantic date night you’ve had planned for months.
If he’s into music, a new pair of headphones or a high-quality speaker might be just the thing. If he loves a cold beer, we’ve got an at-home Nitro beer dispenser (yeah, it’s a thing) or a heavy-duty insulated beer holder. If he’s always at the gym, something like a vibrating foam roller or some new workout tees are sure to be appreciated. You'll also find gifts on this list that fit a wide variety of budgets, whether you’re trying to go all-out this year or spend less $ (without him noticing lol). Basically, we thought of it all so you don’t have to.
