The 50 Best Gifts for Every Type of Boyfriend of 2023

Here’s our list of inspired gifts for any occasion , from practical everyday accessories to luxe personalized mementos.

To select an unforgettable gift, tailor it to your beau’s hobbies, whether it be whipping up gourmet dinners or embarking on a weekend adventure. “I will say that the key to good gift giving is really knowing the person,” says Jodi Smith , president and owner of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting. “Think about your boyfriend’s likes, hobbies, interests, and tastes. Think about when he is happy, what he enjoys doing with his free time.”

Finding a gift for your boyfriend is no easy feat—and it’s even more nebulous when you have to factor in how long you’ve been dating, your budget , and his interests. While the formulaic whiskey glasses, beard kit, or sports gear might be great for some men, gift giving isn’t one-size-fits-all.
