Top Ten Gift Ideas for Your Boyfriend on Valentine's Day

With Valentine's on the horizon, here are a few ideas for the perfect gift for your boyfriend. These are some excellent gift ideas and some won't cost you much at all.

1. Something relating to their hobby.

If your boyfriend has a specific hobby try considering them something relates to it. If he is a musician and plays guitar try buying some guitar picks and putting them in a little box tied with a ribbon and a card. Guitar picks are not expensive and they are very useful.You could even make jewelry out of them. All you'd need is a guitar pick and a chain. Get the guitar pic and poke a hole (it's best to use a very flimsy guitar pick as one that is to hard will make it difficult to get a hole through it.) you just want a hole that is big enough to thread the chain through. I used a hammer and small

nail to make my hole, you can be creative and use anything that will make a small sufficient hole. Then thread the string through and you have a necklace that is unisex.

If he plays the drums try getting some new sticks for him, find out which one he uses and buy those, tie them with red ribbon and a card and you're done.

2. Small box with Kisses.

You can get a small box like a small gift box and fill it with 365 chocolate kisses! Then add a little note explaining that he now can have a kiss everyday of the year from you. This is a great idea especially for those long distance relationships.

3. Pictures.

Another great gift idea is to take a picture of you and your boyfriend or even just one of yourself and have it framed nicely. If he has his own place itwould be a great addition don't you think?

4. Little gift box.

Most local dollar stores offer little gift boxes that are decorative and inexpensive. Then just be creative! You can fill it with his favorite chocolates, candy, coffee, a small stuffed animal, and even add something pertaining to his hobby like guitar picks or drum sticks, even sports memorabilia. Wrap it in cellophane and add a card and bow. It's quick, creative and yummy too!

5. It's the thought that counts.

Remember if you are on a tight budget it's just the thought that counts. Even just buying them their favorite chocolate bartells them that you love them enough to remember what their favorite bar is. Just wrap a red ribbon around it and add a card and that's a cute way to say Happy Valentine's day.

6. Just wanted to say I love you.

This is another great idea for the long distance relationship. Local dollar stores will have cue cards, just make sure you get 101 cards or you could do 365 depending on how you want to make them and how much writing you want to do. On these cue cards write a love quote for every card and a reason you love him. Write them up with pretty markers and tie them with a ribbon add a love note explaining that these cards are "101 reasons why I love you", and add some chocolate!

7. Movie for 2!

Another relatively inexpensive gift is a movie for 2 dinner date. All you need to do is pick up a movie, you can either rent it or buy him his favorite movie. Get a plastic bowl from the dollar store and some popcorn (microwave or already popped) place the movie, popcorn and add a few chocolates like chocolate kisses in the bowl and wrap it with cellophane. This is a fun gift because you both can cuddle up watch the movie and eat the popcorn it's a casual date and a unique gift!

8. Dinner for 2.

Another quick and easy gift is to go to a restaurant (maybe one that holds significant meaning to you both, like your first date). Get a gift certificate to the restaurant, put the certificate in a nice card that says how much you can't wait to make another memorable moment at that restaurant.

9. Sports and sports.

If he is in to sports then think sports! There are so many sports memorabilia that you can purchase and some even at very reasonable prices.Check out your local sports equipment store, or sports memorabilia store. You can find great things online as well. If you can afford it get two tickets to a sporting event. If he is into hockey but authentic hockey tickets are to expensive then get two tickets to the minors so you can both go and watch your local hockey team. It's fun and still a sporting event. This also goes with most sports like football, basket ball, baseball, etc... you can buy really cheap tickets to the local teams some even free. It's a unique gift and fun too.

10. Get what's needed.

If your boyfriend is in school or living alone then there could be a few things that they may need. Whether it be a new backpack or something for the house see if there is a need that he just can't afford and you can. If he needs a backpack buy one and fill it with some chocolate kisses and a notebook where on the first page you have written a love letter. If he needs a toaster then get one and add a card and some chocolate. It sounds corny but sometimes its nice to get a practical gift especially if they are struggling financially. Even gift certificates to grocery stores are great, these make great add-ons to gifts too.

Remember it's the thought that counts not the gift. Many of us get caught up in the holidays and forget that the meaning of Valentine's day is to let that special person know that you love them. So along with whatever gift you choose remember to tell him how much he means to you and how much you love him. Wrap your gift in love and that alone will make this valentine's day the most memorable
