How to Choose a Gift for Your Boyfriend
Notice what he uses every day
His wallet, phone, watch or bag. If one is worn out, a better version is a gift he’ll appreciate.
Think about how long you’ve been together
Early in a relationship, keep it light and thoughtful. After a year or more, a lasting, personal gift feels right.
Match his personality
A practical man likes useful gifts. A sentimental one will love something handmade.
