Confess. You have no idea what to get your boyfriend for Christmas.
It isn't that you don't know him well enough. It isn't that
you don't have time to shop. There are just too many choices
now that the world has become one giant shopping mall. Here
are a few suggestions for narrowing the field...
Is your boyfriend the outdoor type?
Sure you could go with hiking boots. Always a safe bet and
no hiker could have too many. But every guy loves gadgets,
right? How about a solar powered backpack? No, it doesn't fly
you up the mountain. But it does have a series of small panels
on the pack that will recharge all his electronics on the way
up.
Maybe he's the intellectual sort?
Ok, some won't admit it. But many men do like to think. Sure,
there's evidence to the contrary in any case. But it's Christmas,
so how about a little generosity of spirit, here. A fine bestseller
or the latest non-fiction book on politics or current events
could be just the thing. But it only takes a couple of weeks
at most to read a book. A subscription to that obscure journal
he's been denying himself will put you in good for a year.
Does he enjoy sports?
A set of clubs is fine for golfers. A new bag is always appreciated.
A super lightweight tennis racket can never fail as a gift.
But introducing him to a new sport may be the best idea of
all. Skydiving is something most athletes want to try but never
seem to get around to. Buy him a day at the jump site and he'll
get all the adrenaline rush any man could want.
Then again, car racing is also considered a sport. A day at
the track driving a machine that goes 240 mph is another way
to get those juices flowing. And, unlike skydiving, it's dangerous
to boot. What more could any guy want?
Is he a homebody?
Hey, no shame in that. Many men work hard to keep the house
in great shape. There is no limit to the gifts available to
help make that task easier and more efficient. So, he'll have
more time for you. It might be a polesaw for trimming those
upper branches so he doesn't have to climb up. Or, it could
be a set of flower seeds from around the world to bring color
to the entire garden. In this area, there are always a 101
things he wants but doesn't yet have.
Does your guy enjoy traveling?
A cruise is always the perfect choice. Everything from a 1
day excursion to a month or more is an option. He can travel
up the coast to Alaska or roast in the sunny Caribbean. It
could be a giant five-deck cruise ship or a large sailing vessel
that holds only 20 passengers. Of course, if he suggests going
without you, you might want to think twice about getting him
a Christmas gift at all.
Still stumped? Framed
art, Rock
n Roll T-Shirts & apparel, 2008
calendars, magnets, canvas
art, wall
tapestries, and stand-ups are
all great, fun and unique Christmas gift ideas.
