best gifts for boyfriend 2021

Every guy needs a wallet, right? While your boyfriend probably already has one, it definitely isnā€™t a bad idea to get him a new one. Usually, guys use the same wallet until itā€™s falling to pieces so a new one is probably much needed. 

If your man is in need of a new wallet, Fossil and Coach have the highest quality wallets to buy in. Fossil gives you the option to emboss initials into the wallet at no extra charge which is perfect if you are looking to buy your boyfriend a personalized gift! The Coach wallet set comes with a larger and smaller wallet as well as a leather keychain so this set would make an amazing gift as well. 

2. Lululemon Shorts

When looking for a full-proof Christmas gift for your boyfriend, you can never go wrong with clothing from Lululemon. While Lulu is a little more pricey, the quality is there so it totally lives up to the price. These shorts are the comfiest and most popular pair of shorts for men so you can guarantee he will be insanely excited to open these up on Christmas.

3. Trendy Sports Apparel

Pretty much every boyfriend is into sports so you canā€™t go wrong with buying him new sports apparel from his favorite team! Abercrombie and Urban Outfitters (randomly lol) always have a ton of super cool looking sports apparel. This is a great gift alternative to normal jerseys if he has a ton of those already.

4. Yeti Coolers

If youā€™re looking for Christmas gifts for boyfriend then you have probably already thought of buying Yeti products. But, in case you havenā€™t here is your reminder! All Yeti products are boyfriend approved and they seriously canā€™t get enough. From tumblers to beer coolers they have everything a guy could need to keep his refreshments nice and cold.

5. Ugg Slippers

During Christmas, my friends and I usually budget around $100 total to spend on our boyfriends. Ugg slippers are the perfect gift because they fall under that budget! Giving this gift to your boyfriend is the perfect way to stick to a reasonable budget but still giving them something that feels expensive.

6. Bluetooth Speaker

Now, this is one good-looking Bluetooth speaker! Everyone needs a good Bluetooth speaker in their life but some of them are just eyesores when left out in my opinion. While I will admit this speaker is pricey, it produces amazing quality sound and serves as stylish decor so the quality lives up to the high price.

If you want to buy him a Bluetooth speaker but are on a budget you can always opt for a smaller speak like this one from Amazon that still looks stylish!

7. "Manscaped" Grooming Kit

Letā€™s be honest, every guy needs a little maintenance ā€œdown thereā€. One of my close friends gave this to her boyfriend last year somewhat as a joke but he actually ended up loving it and using it all the time.

The Manscaping set comes with high-quality razors perfect for sensitive skin as well as lotions and even deodorant! This is the perfect gift for guys who like taking care of themselves that Iā€™m sure every girlfriend can get behind as well.

8. Dopp Kit

Did anyone else think ā€œDoppā€ kits were spelled ā€œDocā€ kits? No? Just me? Okay...

Anyways, a DOPP kit is always a Christmas gift for boyfriends that they will actually use. Calpak, Etsy, Amazon, and other baggage stores sell endless options of leather, cloth, and even personalized Dopp kits that are super high quality. This is a gift you can guarantee he will get lots of use out of.

9. Jacket

So here it is, a boyfriend-approved (and suggested) Christmas gift for boyfriend. These jackets are super versatile and can be worn against harsh weather outdoors but function just as well as city wear.

10. Keychain

Sentimental gifts are sometimes the best way to go when buying gifts for your boyfriend. But when you look up ā€œsentimental gifts for boyfriendā€ some of them are SO cheesy. Here is a customized sentimental gift to give your boyfriend that he wonā€™t secretly be embarrassed to use. 

This leather keychain comes personalized with his initials as well as a photo of your choice inside so he has a sweet reminder of the two of you without having to flash ā€œI have a girlfriendā€ around at all times.

11. Hoodies

You know all the hoodies of his you wore and ā€œpromised to give backā€? Here is your chance to repay him for those. Hoodies are a clothing essential for guys and they seriously canā€™t have enough. H&M, Zara, Nike, and Adidas all carry basic hoodies that will match any outfit. In general, you canā€™t go wrong with buying your boyfriend a good Nike hoodie for Christmas. Or, you could just give him the gift of returning all the ones you stole.

12. Personalized Golf Balls

If your boyfriend is as much of a golf lover as mine then this is a Christmas gift you should definitely consider buying. This set comes in a customized box that includes personalized golf balls, tees, and pencils. He might even love this gift so much he wonā€™t even want to use it. But, you can guarantee he will be showing it off to all his friends or displaying them in his room.

There are a ton of personalized whiskey glasses on Etsy but these ones are by far my favorite. Plus, theyā€™re only $10 per glass which means you can get an entire set for under $45! You really wonā€™t find too many personalized options as good as this one for that price.

15. Fossil Watch

Can we all agree a guy wearing a watch is so attractive? I think yes. But, aside from your own personal gain, buying a watch for your boyfriend for Christmas is a gift he will definitely appreciate!

Has your boyfriend been using the same travel bag for years now? If the answer is yes (which it probably is) then consider buying him a new leather weekender bag for Christmas! It is pretty hard to find a real leather bag of this size on a budget but Leatherology really pulled through with this bag! It is made from premium vegan leather and is the perfect size for him to store all his things for the weekend.

26. Burberry Touch For Men Cologne

This cologne is one of my favorite ones that my boyfriend wears all the time. Cologne is something that almost every guy wants but wonā€™t usually splurge on for themselves which makes it the perfect gift for him this Christmas!

27. Airpods And Leather Airpods Case

Headphones with wires are out and AirPods are all the rage. If he doesnā€™t have them already, this is a great gift for any boyfriend that you can guarantee he will be using all the time. This is actually exactly what I got for my boyfriend this year. If you want to go the extra mile with gift-giving this season, throw in a leather AirPods case! I feel like the leather case makes it look more mature but it also helps him from losing it (which he's known for).

28. Massage Gift Card/Book A Couples Massage

If your boyfriend isnā€™t the materialistic type gifting him an experience rather than an item is the way to go! This could mean planning a fancy dinner or booking a couples massage! Most guys wonā€™t go out of their way to schedule a massage for themselves so this is a thoughtful gift he will absolutely appreciate. Plus, if you book a couples massage it is something you can do together!

Last whiskey gift I promiseā€¦ But this set is too cool not to include! The Connoisseurā€™s set comes with two stunning crystal whiskey glasses and R.O.C.K.S best-selling whiskey stones all packaged in an elaborate gold foil gift box. I mean doesnā€™t this gift set just scream expensive?! Although it looks stunningly elaborate, this set only costs $54 which is a steal for the amazing quality and packaging!

30. Mini Muscle Massage Gun

After a long day at school or work, a massage is just what every guy needs. This mini muscle massaging gun works wonders on sore muscles and is small enough to easily carry around the house or keep in his drawers at work. 

Therabody is known for their muscle massaging guns because they truly are the best. But, if you like the idea of a muscle massager but donā€™t love the price, you can find less expensive alternatives on Amazon as well.
