Great Birthday Gifts for Your Boyfriend
76Every guy is different. Every relationship is different and relationships change with time. What is good one year might not work the next. Finding the perfect birthday gifts idea for your boyfriend needs a lot of thought.
One of the first things to ask is what kind of guy is he? Is he a fun loving extrovert, a sensitive introvert or like most guys somewhere in between? Does he like sports, adventure, dressing well, getting out in the great outdoors or surfing the net? Most guys will be involved in a lot of stuff that they care about. Some will have a real passion for a particular pastime. Picking up on what is most important in your boyfriend’s life right now will lead you to a lot of great gift ideas.
This page is designed to trigger a few thoughts and act as a starting point for finding the unique gift which will really be appreciated and make a memorable birthday. The price range here is from $5 to $200 so there should be something in everyone’s price bracket.
Birthday Gifts for Extroverts
Is he a fun loving, crowd loving, party-animal kind of guy?
This kind of guy will probably react best to a social event- so tickets for a concert or a sporting occasion will go down well. It's important to get two tickets for something you will like too (or at least not hate). He won’t enjoy the event if you are bored or miserable.
If you check the local entertainment guides, something is sure to stand out. Also, Ticketmaster.com have a searchable data base for almost anything that is happening in your area. You don’t need to go to the event on his birthday if you want a more intimate evening- you could just get the tickets for a future date. A happy surprise and something to look forward to are a great gift.
For the Guy who likes to Look, Smell and feel Good
Unusual or Custom T-shirts
If you know your boyfriend really well you can probably pick out some clothes for him that he will love. On the other hand, it's easy to make a mistake and get something he will never wear.
A special t-shirt could save the day. There are a lot of sites that offer unusual t-shirts. Zazzle is one of the best and has something to suit almost every taste. They even have a special section to create your own unique design. You start with a plain t-shirt then add an image (a photo, something off the web, an image you made on Photoshop etc). followed by any words, slogans or messages that you like) Its fun to play around with.
Accessories
One area that goes well is accessories. Ok, guys don’t talk about accessories much but what are belts, wallets, bags, gloves and hats? If he likes any of those things he will probably like something from one of the sites below.
Beltmaster has dozens of belt designs from around twenty dollars each (links in the economy section below).

Is he a Book Lover?
Finding a book that a guy will appreciate is as easy as browsing through his book collection. Find his favorite authors and then check them out on Amazon. If one of his favorite authors has just released a new book to rave reviews you are probably home and dry.
