The 63 Best Gifts for Your Boyfriend (Outside of That Bedroom Stuff He’s Always Hinting About)
It’s sometimes toughest to shop for those we love the most—looking at you, Mom and Dad—and especially, our boyfriend. The right gifts for your boyfriend can range from that big anniversary gesture (a bottle of the best bubbly, natch) to something unexpectedly romantic (honey, pack your bags—we’re going away this weekend!). So whether you’re gifting a little extra snarky as a gag or getting him something you’ll enjoy together in your most intimate moments, there’s something here he’ll love. (And yes, we covered his interests from cooking to camping to fishing, too.)

2. Terminal 1 Carry-On

He’s going to love traveling to see you even more then you gift him this sturdy-yet-lightweight polycarbonate suitcase with large 360-degree spinner wheels, leather detailing and a TSA-approved personal lock.

4. Foria Awaken Arousal Oil with CBD
Best Intimate Gift
This is for both of you—when females use it solo or with a partner, applied topically, it enhances sensation and boosts orgasm. Have him apply it, and let the adventure begin.
5. Char-Broil Performance Outdoor Gas Grill

It’s got four burners, rust-resistant cast-iron grates and a 130-square-inch warming rack to keep those buns and sides on deck while your backyard chef is doing his thing.
6. Tommy Bahama High Boy Beach Chair
Best for Beachgoers
You had him at the drink holder—but there’s also a cell phone slot and a bottle opener, as well as an extra tall backrest and thick armrests that can support up to 250 pounds of boyfriend—even though the chair itself only weighs eight pounds (so he won’t mind hauling it from the car to the sand).
7. Heart Neon Sign
Best Sentimental Gift
Show him you have all the feelings for him, but don't say it cringe. That's what this 14-inch tall wall hanging—with a dimmer—communicates with style.

9. Lululemon Classic Fit Pant
Best for the New Hire
If he’s got a new job as anything from a barista to a barrister, he’ll be able to wear these bestselling Lulu trousers. They have four-way stretch and look presentable while still being sweatpants-comfy, thanks to the specially designed gusset that gives him extra room for comfortable sitting.

10. Misfits Market
Best for the Eco-Chef
He’ll appreciate a monthly box of “misfit” veggies (oddly shaped or sized) that would otherwise go to waste showing up at his door. And it will inspire him to create seasonal recipes for you both to enjoy.

14. CowayAirmega Air Purifier
Best for the Allergy Sufferer
Does he suffer from seasonal allergies that leave him sneezy and congested, making WFH or sports-viewing sessions less than completely comfortable? Gift him this unobtrusive unit which quietly removes ultra-fine particles and cleanses air in up to a 361-square-foot room.

33. Nocs Provisions Standard Binoculars
For the Outdoor Festival Goer
These babies clock in at under 12 ounces and are less than five inches square, so they look like a toy. But don’t worry, these are legit—they’re nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed, so they won’t fog up or let water in, and give up to 10x magnification.

37. OUR PLACE ALWAYS PAN
For the Guy with a Tiny Kitchen
This three-piece pan is designed to replace a traditional eight-piece cooking set for under $150. And while it won’t replace every cooking tool in their kitchen (PureWow’s food editor rotates between this handy non-stick and a cast iron skillet), it’s definitely a great present, if only for the sheer ease of use and storage, plus a simplified clean-up process.
38. SAMSUNG 65" CLASS THE FRAME SMART TV

For the Tech Savvy
Not only can you control the noise-cancelling level on these new headphones, but you simply twist the earpiece to adjust the volume.

That’s not all: He can use his favorite Amazon Alexa commands to do all of the above.
43. Cove Touch Therapy Device
Best for Wellness Enthusiasts
He puts on this new headset device for two 20-minute sessions; the brain interprets the Cove’s soft vibration as affective touch, a soothing signal, even while he’s watching TV or doing the dishes. Its makers have commissioned studies with more than 3,500 subjects, resulting in metrics that show marked reductions in stress and improvements in sleep as well as cognition.

49. L.L. Bean Vacationland Stretch Swim Trunks
Best for the Casual Swimmer
These great-looking swim shorts are eight inches long, so they’re not going to hike up and make him feel exposed, and they’re made with a bit of stretch, so that if he decides to actually take up stand-up paddleboarding, these won’t constrict him. (And the chlorine and salt-resistant fabric means these trunks are going to look good for seasons to come.)
50. Intex SimpleSpa Portable Hot Tub
Most Romantic Gift
This blow-up hot tub comes with its own inflation hose and is ready for water in as little as 20 minutes. A portable water heater makes sure the 100 bubble jets will stay just the right temperature, and the unit’s cover—as well as a floating chlorine dispenser—make sure it stays clean.

55. HEALTHMATE VELOUR HEATED SEAT CUSHION
Best for the Commuter
Home editor Candace Davison uses this plug-in seat cushion year-round, deeming it one of top five gifts she's ever been given. Why? It’s fast-heating and great for soothing sore backs as well as just warming you up, and even though it’s cushiony, it doesn’t add a lot of bulk to your chair.
56. Lululemon License to Train Lined Short

You’ve got a Design Snob on your hands; someone whose every lifestyle purchase needs to be attractive and functional. Luckily, he’ll appreciate the contemporary styling of this eight-cup French Press and carafe that’s double-walled (it really keeps that coffee hot) and has a beautiful wood accent handle and top.
62. Freestone Fly Fishing Company
Best for the Fisherman
You can gift him a box of flies and other premium essentials right to his door in this curated box that includes goodies that will be useful to newbies as well as seasoned fly fishers.
