What To Get Your Boyfriend For Christmas

What To Get Your Boyfriend For Christmas
With less than 4 months to go the annual question comes up about what to get your boyfriend for Christmas.  If this describes you then you might want to pay attention.

Guys are not easy to shop for any time during the year but Christmas seems to be particularly difficult for females, young and old, who are in a dating relationship.  This is especially true for those of you who might be in the early stages and haven't made it to the "I love you" phase of a relationship.  This can be very awkward, especially when selecting a Christmas gift that says exactly what you are feeling.

Here's the good news: guys are easy to shop for!

What?  No way (you say)!  Well, it's true and I wanted to show you some really cool and easy gifts that you can buy that you will know is a winner.

Electronics Are Always Cool

You will not go wrong getting your boyfriend the latest electronic gadget, trust me.  And, yes, you can throw away the instruction book because, well, guys really don't read them.  It's a macho thing!  In fact, you could use it as gift wrapping paper and he probably wouldn't even notice.

Whether you want to go PS4, XBox 360, iphone...whatever.  These are the new way to a man's heart.

The great thing in 2013 is that prices have come way down on many items that used to cost a month's wages so we actually had to budget for them.  But not anymore.  Go into the local electronic store or even your nearest department store like Wal-Mart or Target and you will find great prices.

Just a note to the wise, when you give your beau this great gift, also give him time to play (this really means to figure it out and "optimize" it).  Don't plan a romantic dinner or lets-go-meet-my-parents while he's tinkering or else you won't have his full attention.

Accessorize...The Guy Way

Girls are accustomed to accessorizing, whether it's their outfits, their vehicles, or even their poodle (?), adding that something extra just finishes the overall look.

Did you know that you can do that with boyfriends?  Well, maybe not with clothing or animals but certainly with vehicles, such as with a universal car mount holder for his phone (mount it right on the dashboard) or even electronic accessories.  There are so many options that are "guy-friendly" and cool that will allow you to select that perfect gift that you know he really wants or just has to have (and yes, sometimes it's because you know it will make him look better if you must buy him clothes).

The great thing about accessories is that they are usually not as expensive as the the bigger ticket items noted in electronics.  However, they are just as important and if you do your research right you will also amaze him with your technical knowledge when you tell him how it works...you can be the instruction book (kind of Star Wars-ish but guys like that).

A Picture Of You...Digitize It

Here's a great one: give him a picture of you and dare him not to like it!  Heck, give him a hundred pictures of you when you give him a digital photo frame...he can even be in some of those pictures (you know, the ones from the mall photo booth where you're taking goofy pictures).

Just a recommendation: it is worth your time to get your picture professionally done or else by someone you know that can tell the difference between the lens and the viewfinder...and remembers to take the lens cap off.  This way, your boyfriend will see "the best and beautiful you"; this is important to guys as your face is what they want to see on their nightstand before drifting off to sleep.  Oh, it's also a great way to make sure he dreams about you, too!

Gift Card For Beginning Relationships

Gift cards are a great way to say "I like you but wasn't sure what to get you but I had to let you know that I was thinking about you".  Have you been there?  Sure, gift cards aren't as personal but they do let you show that you care and lets him select what he knows he wants or needs.  Trust me here, too, guys don't mind.

I would suggest that you spend the time with him though when he actually buys something, whether it's online or in the store.  Or, another great idea, get him a restaurant gift card...guess who he's taking out for dinner!

Use Girl Power

OK, here's the down and dirty, you are the best present you can give to your boyfriend...and I Don't Mean Sex!  What I do mean is that he is dating you for a reason; perhaps it started out as a physical attraction but as the relationship strengthens he is with you because of who you are...Don't Forget That!

And there are other things that you can do even before Christmas that are not physical gifts but they are gifts nonetheless:

• Wear your favorite perfume when you are with him so he associates that fragrance with you
• Have a certain style of clothes that you wear when you are with him; although it is OK to change these up and surprise him...it keeps him on his male toes
• Actually go to movies that he wants to watch (he will endure "Chick Flicks" at the beginning of a relationship only).

And what do all of these have to do with Christmas gifts?  Nothing specifically, except that you are showing he is important to you...all through the year.  Oh, it also helps this dude know what to get you for Christmas, making it easy for him when he goes shopping for you.

Would love to hear what other folks think about these ideas.  Am I right or am I right?  You're welcome to leave me a comment below.
