Christmas Gift Ideas For The Boyfriend Who Has It All

Viktor Hanacek

Christmas is right around the corner and nothing is more difficult than trying to decide what to get your boyfriend. If you two have been together for a while then it may be harder to come up with new ideas for gifts. It is especially more difficult when your boyfriend seems to have everything that you come up with, but some of those ideas are great for multiples. Here are some ideas that my boyfriend loved and hopefully yours will too.

A watch.

There are several great watch options varying in price based on your budget. My boyfriend's favorite watches that are durable and waterproof are the Casio G-Shock watches. These are great for active men who work outside a lot or take part in a lot of outdoor activities. For something more fancy/professional looking, you can look into Citizen and their Eco-Drive watches. Other options could include an Apple Watch or a FitBit. If your boyfriend has a durable one then get him a fancier one, if he has a fancy one then get him a more durable one. My boyfriend likes having to watches that can be used for different occasions.

A hat.

If your boyfriend likes to wear hats then this is a super easy gift idea. A man who wears hats can never have too many hats. There are so many options for hats if he has a favorite sports team, a favorite brand, enjoys the outdoors, etc. you can find a hat to fit the theme.

A blanket.

If your boyfriend complains about being cold all the time then getting him a blanket is a really great option. Blankets are relatively inexpensive and can be found in a lot of different stores. Make sure to get one that is long enough to cover his whole body or a larger one that both of you can cuddle under.

A sweatshirt.

Boys tend to love sweatshirts (honestly though, who doesn't love sweatshirts?). Similar to hats, it's perfectly normal to have multiple sweatshirts. You can follow similarly and get something related to his favorite sports team, a university, or brand.

A key, phone, wallet bedside organizer.

This is something that my boyfriend once mentioned that he would like to have. If your boyfriend is like mine and likes to empty everything out of his pockets when he sits down to relax or misplaces things often, then this is a great gift idea for him. I found several options on Etsy that can have personalized engraving done with names, initials, and logos.

Kitchen items.

If your boyfriend enjoys cooking or simply needs more items to even begin trying to cook then there is a lot of things that you can get him. Some great options are fancy salt and pepper shakers, cooking utensils, baking dishes, pots and pans, etc.

Shoes.

Like most boys, my boyfriend owns so many pairs of shoes, yet he always wants more. From sneakers to vans and dress shoes to slides, he has to have them all.

Water bottle or coffee mugs.

Travel mugs and water bottles are great for a man on the go. If your boyfriend enjoys being outdoors then water bottles are great for hiking, playing sports, etc. If he is an avid coffee drinker then travel mugs or coffee cups for at home are great.

Electronics.

A lot of boys love electronics and video games. If your boyfriend is anything like mine, he will not turn down a new game controller, or some type of electronic accessory (earbuds, wireless mouse, adapters, etc.).

Board games and card games.

My boyfriend and I enjoy having game nights together or with a large group of friends. If you and your boyfriend enjoy doing the same, then buying him a new game for Christmas is something you and him and your friend group will all really enjoy.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
