Gift Ideas For Boyfriend Who Has Everything
Ah, the classic conundrum. Your boyfriend. The man who seemingly has it all. You’ve scrolled through every online store. You’ve peeked into his overflowing drawers. You’ve even considered asking his mom, but then you remembered her definition of a “good gift” is a new pair of socks. So, where do you even begin?
Let’s be honest. The phrase "has everything" is often a slight exaggeration. Unless he’s secretly a dragon hoarding gold, there are always things. But finding that perfect something? That’s the real treasure hunt. And sometimes, the best gifts aren’t the ones that scream “luxury” or “gadget.”
My unpopular opinion? For the guy who has everything, the best gifts are often the ones that are a little bit... silly. Or practical in a way he’d never think to buy for himself. Think outside the box. Way outside. Like, maybe the box has a tiny llama wearing a hat on it.
Let’s start with the experience category. He has a couch. He has a TV. He probably has a dozen streaming subscriptions. What he might not have is a truly memorable adventure. Think less "fancy dinner" (he can book that himself) and more "axe throwing." Seriously. It’s cathartic. And hilarious. Especially if you both end up giggling uncontrollably when you miss the target spectacularly.
Or how about a craft beer brewing kit? Even if he’s never brewed a day in his life, it’s a fun project. Plus, the end result is… well, beer. Which is usually a win. And if he’s not a beer guy, there are kits for making your own hot sauce, cheese, or even infused gin. Who wouldn’t appreciate a personalized bottle of something delicious?
Now, let’s talk about those things he definitely has, but could probably use a ridiculous upgrade. Does he have a favorite coffee mug? Of course he does. But does he have a mug shaped like a literal giant pickle? Probably not. And is that not the most magnificent thing you can imagine him using every morning?
Or consider his wardrobe. He has t-shirts. He has hoodies. But does he have a pair of novelty socks featuring renaissance paintings of cats? Or maybe socks that look like tiny hot dogs? These are the gifts that spark conversation. They’re the gifts that make you both smile when he wears them. They’re the gifts that say, “I know you, and I appreciate your weirdness.”
Let’s dive into the "surprisingly useful" corner. My personal favorite is the high-quality, ridiculously soft blanket. Not just any blanket. I’m talking about that blanket that feels like a warm hug from a cloud. The kind he’ll steal from the couch to wrap himself in like a burrito. It’s a gift of pure comfort, and who doesn’t need more of that?
Another one in this vein? A really good water bottle. Not the plastic one from the gym. I mean the insulated, sleek, keeps-your-water-ice-cold-for-24-hours kind. It’s practical, it’s eco-friendly, and it makes him look vaguely sophisticated while he’s hydrating. Bonus points if it comes in a color he wouldn’t normally pick for himself.
And what about the gift of learning? He might have all the books on his shelf, but has he ever taken a class in something completely random and wonderful? Think pottery, calligraphy, or even a beginner’s guide to juggling. It's a chance for him to explore a new hobby, and you might get a fun story out of it. Imagine him showing off his lopsided pottery creation with pride.
Let’s not forget the power of personalization. He has a wallet, sure. But does he have a wallet with a secret message engraved on the inside? Or a custom bobblehead that looks exactly like him? These are the gifts that show you put in extra thought and effort. They’re the gifts that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Sometimes, the best gift is simply an organized version of something he already owns and loves. Does he have a collection of vinyl records? Get him a sleek, stylish record player stand. Does he love his gaming setup? A custom-made controller holder can be a game-changer (pun intended).
And here’s my truly radical, perhaps slightly insane, thought. What if the gift isn't about buying something new at all? What if it's about doing something? A meticulously planned picnic in a beautiful spot. A weekend camping trip where you’ve handled all the logistics. A scavenger hunt leading him to his favorite treat. These are the gifts that create memories. They’re the gifts that show you value his time and your shared experiences.
Ultimately, for the boyfriend who has everything, the greatest gift is often a reminder that you see him, you appreciate him, and you’re willing to be a little bit playful in showing it. So go forth, embrace the silliness, and find that perfect, unexpected treasure. He’ll love it. And you’ll probably have a good laugh along the way.
