These are the things he loves – not you. He loves his hobby, his car, his tools, his buddies, all that. Boyfriends adore women who can appreciate his personal interests.
Buy him that gaming station he’s been talking about, or the camping gear he was raving about. Get him a magazine subscription about his favorite pastime (guns, gardening, gadgets – would he enjoy a 12 pack “can cake”?).

Boyfriend Birthday Tip #1
It’s your boyfriend’s birthday, and you want to make it special. But how do you do that? Here are a few ideas:
- Plan a surprise party. This is always a great way to make his birthday special. Just be sure you don’t let the cat out of the bag beforehand!
- Make him a cake. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – even a simple chocolate cake will do. Just be sure to include a special message for him on the icing.
- Take him on a special date. This could be anything from going to his favorite restaurant to taking a romantic hike together. Just make sure you do something that he’ll really enjoy.
- Get him a gift that he’s been wanting. This could be anything from a new watch to tickets to his favorite band’s concert. Whatever you get him, just make sure it’s something he really wants.
Boyfriend Birthday Ticket Gift Idea – Tickets To His Favorite…Whatever!
Give him 2 tickets to see ________ (fill in the blank). This could be his favorite sports team or band, a movie he’s been talking about, the classic car show – anything he really wants to see.
If you’re not interested in going with him for whatever reason, tell him. Send him with a buddy. Guys like guy-time as much as girls like girl-time. Plus, it shows that you trust and care about him as a person, not just your boyfriend.
Your gift will not be forgotten!
Boyfriend Birthday Tip #2
Wanting to surprise your honey this year? Here are some how to’ s to help pull it off:
- Plan, plan, plan! The best surprises are the ones that are meticulously planned out. This means taking into account your loved one’s schedule, their likes and dislikes, and any other important factors. By planning ahead, you can be sure that your surprise will work. It could be a big hit!
- Keep it a secret! Obviously, right? Seriously, though. Part of what makes a surprise so special is the element of suspense. Let me say it this way. If you let the cat out of the bag either by a slip of the tongue, or leaving something out to spark a suspicion, the whole thing is dead. Keep your plans close to the vest until it’s time to execute.
- Make it personal and thoughtful. A great way to ensure your birthday surprise is meaningful is to really make it personal. Think about what your loved one would truly enjoy and put your own spin on it. By putting in that extra effort, you’ll be sure to give them a birthday they’ll never forget.
Gift Baskets. Yes, Really.
We’re not talking about the generic gift basket you saw with the same ol’ wine and cheese (unless that’s what he really likes).
We’re talking about birthday gift baskets based on his interests.
The best kinds are the ones you make – they really aren’t that hard to put together. Simply pick a theme that he would like (that last part is important), put it in a “basket” and wrap it.
Want an example? “Date Night In A Box” is a hit! Simply buy him a movie (his latest favorite… or movie tickets would work), then grab his favorite theater candy, some bags of microwave popcorn, and a popcorn bowl. Package the movie, candy and popcorn bags inside the bowl and wrap it up.
Tada!
Boyfriends love this!
