Gifts for your boyfriend

The first few gifts in a relationship are nerve-racking: too much feels intense, too little feels careless. The answer is something linked to what he is into, which shows you have been listening without making a big statement.

Grouped by the things boyfriends tend to spend their spare time on.

Common questions

What do you get a boyfriend for his birthday?

Something linked to his main interest: a gaming accessory, headphones, gym gear or a grooming kit. Personal but not heavy is the goal.

How much should I spend on my boyfriend?

It depends on how long you have been together. Early on, $30 to $60 on something thoughtful is plenty; matching roughly what he spends on you avoids awkwardness.

What is a good gift for a new boyfriend?

Something small and fun connected to a conversation you have had: his favourite team, a game he mentioned or a coffee he likes.

Still stuck?

Tell the gift finder their age, the occasion, what they are into and your budget, and it will suggest ten gifts. Not right? Ask for ten more.
