Whether you've been dating your man for two months or two years, you still might find yourself stressing out about locking down the perfect gift ideas for your boyfriend that show that you know all the little details that make him, well, him. After multiple Valentine's Days and birthdays, and dating anniversaries, are there any gifts that you haven't given yet?! (Spoiler alert: YES! There totally are!).
There are a couple of different routes you could take to make Mission Present™ a smash-hit success. You could find something thoughtful that he mentioned he wanted months ago but never got around to buying for himself, like a new pair of fresh sneakers or a soft, cozy hoodie. You could buy something casual yet useful, like a really fancy box of beef jerky. Or you could splurge on a gift that he never even knew he needed in his life until he unwrapped your birthday present: A self-sustaining aquarium? Burrito blanket? Those will earn you some serious points.
Ahead, you'll find super unique presents for him that not only say, "you're the best boyfriend ever," but also, "I'm the best gift-giver ever."
