Christmas Gifts for Your Boyfriend

Christmas is a time filled with giving and love, and you want to give your boyfriend a heartfelt gift that shows him just how much you care. Whether he's a new boyfriend or you've been together for years, mastering the art of gifting isn't always easy, but you can pull it off with a little ingenuity.

Need some help figuring out what to give your boyfriend for Christmas? Below, we rounded up a few Christmas gift ideas for your boyfriend to make your holiday shopping a little bit easier.

Heartfelt Love Letter

He may know you love him — but have you really put it down in words? You don't have to write something elaborate or fancy. Start by typing a few of your favorite things about him in a nice Christmas card and finish by telling him exactly how you feel. Need help with what to write?

Personal Playlist

If your boyfriend loves listening to music, create a playlist with some of his favorite songs, including any songs that have special meaning for the two of you as a couple. Or take your gift giving to the next level with a custom song from Songfinch! This unique digital gift connects you with a professional musician who will create a personalized song for your boyfriend inspired by the details you share. It’s an unforgettable, thoughtful gesture that will give him all the feels this Christmas.

Memory Scrapbook

If you enjoy going to concerts, football games or museums together, gather your old ticket stubs, brochures, programs and other memorabilia that remind you of these special times and put them in a memory scrapbook. Remember to leave a few pages empty for future adventures together!

Framed Photo

Every couple has that one frame-worthy photo that captures a fun memory. Surprise him by printing a photo of the two of you and giving it to him in a frame he can put on his desk or bedside table.

Gamer Gift Basket

If your boyfriend is a gamer, put together a gift basket of treats that cater to his hobby. The basket could include a hot, new video game, AA batteries for controllers, snacks and much more. The combination of thoughtfulness and practicality is sure to be a hit.

Spend a Day Doing What He Loves

If you often avoid day trips that involve his favorite activities, such as fishing or attending car shows, give him the gift of sharing one — or several — of these experiences with him. To make this even more personal, buy him new gear for his hobby or tickets to an upcoming event and be his date for the trip. Or add an epic touch to your Christmas card by including a Virgin Experience Gift. Choose from thrilling adventures he’ll love, like racecar driving, flight lessons or vineyard tours, and give him an experience he’ll talk about for years to come.

Coffee Subscription

Is your boyfriend a coffee fanatic? Give him the gift of magical, caffeine-filled java on a regular basis with a coffee subscription that sends him different brews to try every month.

A Home-cooked Meal

Does your boyfriend constantly order takeout, or is he the king of ramen noodles and frozen meals? There's a reason people used to say, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Nothing says, "I love you," like a home-cooked meal. If you know your way around the kitchen, consider making his favorite dish as a special Christmas gift for your boyfriend.

Date of the Month

If you rarely go on fun dates, now's the time to make a change. Think of 12 new date night ideas (one for each month), and put the corresponding dates on 12 envelopes. Inside the envelopes, put clues for what he will need for that particular date, such as how he should dress or something he should bring. Keep the activity itself a surprise. These planned date nights will give you both something to look forward to all year long.

Christmas Ornaments

Here's another thoughtful Christmas gift for boyfriend: DIY ornaments are personal, practical and inexpensive, and they can really give his home a decorative boost if home décor isn't his thing. Collect maps from places you've visited together — or maybe places you want to go — and decoupage them onto glass Christmas ball ornaments.

Monogrammed Chef's Knives

If he's a budding culinary master in the kitchen, there's no better gift than a good set of chef's knives. Have the knives monogrammed for a special touch he'll appreciate.

Drinkware

Maybe he enjoys a good beer or a nice glass of whiskey. If that’s the case, consider giving him a personalized beer glass and bottle opener combo or a nice decanter set. Don't forget to include his drink of choice with it!

National or State Park Pass

If he's an outdoor enthusiast, he probably loves to get out and explore the parks in your area. A pass to a nearby national or state park gives you both the chance to hike, picnic or hit the beach in some of nature's best spots.

Team Blanket

Does he love cheering at the game, regardless of the weather? For those chilly games, make sure he stays warm in the stands with a blanket that sports his favorite team's logo. Even if he prefers to watch the games from the comfort of home, it’s a great Christmas gift for a boyfriend who loves sports.

Last-minute Gift

Finding the best Christmas gift for your boyfriend doesn’t mean you have to spend hours shopping. If you need a last-minute gift or Christmas gift ideas for a new boyfriend, a gift card can be a quick and easy gift that is just right. For a personalized touch, consider sending him a digital gift card by attaching it to one of our ecards, Creatacards or SmashUps™. You can personalize your card with a special message and then you can choose from our selection of popular retailers for a meaningful way to show him just how much you care.

No matter what gift you choose, you want your boyfriend to know how much he means to you this Christmas. Pair your gift with a festive card and a heartfelt message for a Christmas he won't forget.
