Best Birthday Gift ideas For Your Boy Friend

Planning a surprise party for the much awaited Birthday of your beau. Scrape it. It's so clichéd and so boring and will definitely go unappreciated by him. Take my word. Birthday comes once a year and must be memorable, well, at least up until the next one. So, what's on your mind? A surprise party and a gift with practical uses i.e. wallets, a pair of shoes, a watch etc. Save the usual, casual stuff for other occasions or festivities. Make the birthday special by giving him a gift that's valued and cherished by him.

Gift him a Year full of Magazine Subscriptions  

Sign him up for a membership. Not the spa. Try guy stuff. A sports club, gourmet food clubs or a wine club will do great. If he has a favorite magazine – Overdrive, BS Motoring, Forbes, Sports Illustrated, Playboy – get him a monthly subscription for a year. This gift idea can also be stretched to lifetime subscriptions f his favorite things. You can also get him gift cards such as petrol vouchers and servicing coupons for his bike or car.

Gift him an Experience

To gift an experience, you have to know him well enough. Experience gifts are the best way to show your boyfriend that you care about him and you keep tabs of his likes and hobbies. Plan a day or a weekend of his favorite activity skiing, paragliding, white water rafting, scuba diving and so on. An experience gift doesn't have to be a recreational activity, you can take him to a music concert where his favorite band is playing, Formula1, cultural fests – anything that interests him.

Gift him a Break

Not from yourself, but his hectic schedule – it will be refreshing birthday. Plan a romantic escapade to a nearby hill station or a beach. Better yet, a place that has some significance in his life. A getaway is a perfect way to strengthen the bond between the two of you. If going away with boyfriend isn't approved by your folks, invite some close friends or family member.

Gift him his favourite Gadgets

If he likes things simple, just plan to gift with the gadget he has always been wishing for. It could in range of a mobile device to a laptop. If he likes photography and also happens to be stuck with an obsolete mobile device; then gifting him a smartphone such as the Nokia Pure view will suffice. On the other hand if he is programmer and claims the laptop to his best friend, a nice sturdy Dell Inspiron or a Panasonic Toughbook would be an ideal gift. In case, the special someone happens to be an entrepreneur and is always in-between calls. Emails and presentations, a Samsung Galaxy Tab would be just the thing he is craving for.

Gift him Personalized Items

So, cooking isn't your forte. Get creative – it's one section where you can't go wrong. If you don't haveenough craftsmanship to make him a photo frame, just make a digital photo frame. Create a playlist of hisfavorite songs, pick out some good pictures and make a photo collage, register his name for a domain name and create his very own website – technology – use it. Personalizes gifts can be stretched to greatextent – engraved watches, customized iPhone covers, one-of-a-kind laptop skins; everything can bepersonalized according to individual preferences. One request though, don't go for coffee mugs or tees

with your pictures – it's ancient history.
