The Top 11 Gifts To Get Your Boyfriend For His Birthday

You love the special guy in your life more than anything, and you want the perfect birthday gift to show them how much you care. However, when you ask them for ideas, the only thing you get is a noncommittal, “I dunno, whatever.”

Have no fear. Let the ten ideas below inspire you. The suggestions beautifully answer the question of what you should get for your boyfriend’s birthday.

1. New Game Day Gear

If your guy is a sports fanatic, their fandom did half of your work for you. You can find online retailers dedicated to anything from football to curling and can stock up on equipment if he plays or some sick sideline gear if he’s more into cheering his team to victory.

It’s winter, so a cozy gameday throw will keep him toasty once vaccines let fans return to the stands. Get him ready for his summer softball league’s return with a new glove or even new socks. It’s officially okay to change them now — in fact, it’s recommended to wash away any lingering 2020 curses.

2. A Model that Speaks to His Passions

Do you want to bring the two of you closer? Why not a gift that caters to his interest, such as a diecast model car that you can complete together? He’ll enjoy the pleasure of building his passion and won’t soon forget you did so by his side.

What if your guy is more into buildings than vehicles? You can find architectural model kits featuring anything from the Empire State Building to the Louvre.

3. A Globe Mini-Bar

Does your beau like a little adult libation from time to time? Give his man-cave a touch of old-school-study class with a globe mini-bar. As a bonus, why not stock it with some of his favorite scotch or bourbon?

4. A Monogrammed Flask

What if your special guy likes to take a libation with him on the road? He can’t very well cart around a bottle of Jimmy Walker Red without risking an open container violation. Let him sip discreetly and in style with a monogrammed flask that all but screams, “My name tag may read ‘Tim,’ but the real name’s Bond, James Bond.”

5. A Desktop Game

Will your guy be returning to the office soon? If so, he won’t be able to distract himself by scrolling through social media at work — there’s too much risk of his boss walking by.

Why not get him the gift of a desktop game? It won’t make it okay to slack off on the job, but it will provide needed stress relief when crunch time comes, but inspiration runs further behind.

6. Some Funky Socks

Did you ever notice how men’s fashion lacks variety? While you might giggle at cropped-leg suits, what other ways do designers have to add visual interest to a 3-piece? One way is through a pair of funky socks that highlights your mate’s playful side every time they cross their legs in meetings.

7. A Day on the Links

Golfing is the ultimate in healthy stress-relief. Your man gets to inhale tons of immune-boosting phytoncides while producing vitamin D naturally and cursing at a tiny ball that resists going into the hole specially designed for it. Plus, there’s beer involved if he indulges.

8. A Telescope

Few things in life are more romantic than gazing up at the night sky. However, if you live in an urban area, you might see slim pickings due to excess light pollution. Increase your guy’s visual field the next time you camp out on your patio with a telescope that lets him get up close and personal with the sun’s celestial cousins.

9. A Couples Massage

Few things in life feel better than a massage, and you can make it even more romantic by booking a joint rubdown with your mate. Yes, there’s a touch of narcissism in this gift — after all, you get a treat, too — but it will nevertheless bring you closer together.

10. A Ticket to Adventure

Experiential gifts are ideal — why not get one that lets you share in the adventure? A getaway to one of the nation’s top glamping resorts can cost less than a typical holiday while providing the perfect opportunity to cling to your man’s side when things go bump in the woods at night. Plus, after all the past several months’ lockdowns, it will be doubly refreshing to getaway when you can.

Let These 10 Ideas Inspire What You Get for Your Boyfriend’s Birthday

Let the ten ideas above inspire what you should get for your boyfriend’s birthday. He’ll adore the gesture and shower you with affection.

11. A Customized Phone Case

There’s nothing more special than a personalized gift like a custom case! A customized phone case makes a great gift because it can be both useful and meaningful. You can have the phone case printed with a photo of you two, a beloved pet, or a short but heartfelt—anything near and dear to your boyfriend! Every time he looks at his phone, he’ll be reminded of how loved he is.

He’s Never Going To Be The Man You Want Him To Be

The Man You Want

You love him, you love him with all of your heart. You think that he is “the one,” the person that you can spend the rest of your life with. But, there’s something inside of you that is holding you back—that is making you second guess where you are and where you’re going.

It’s that little trickle of doubt that keeps you up at night when he doesn’t come home on time when he isn’t answering your calls, when he takes too long to answer your texts.

When we love people, we always try to see the best in them—think of it as wearing rose-colored glasses. We see everything in bright shades of pinks and reds—looking at everything as though it’s sunshine and rainbows.

We don’t want to be bothered with the harrowing realities of seeing the truth in people, their true colors and who they are. And we try to end fights as soon as they begin—we’d rather go back to happier times when we’re laughing than those sad times of misery.

10 Not So White Lies Our Boyfriends Tell Us

Although we ladies often resort to the standard assumption that all men, in fact, are the biggest liars, there is something to be said for the lies that most women naturally tell themselves in order to make excuses for the fellows in their lives.

Why, you ask? Because females want to believe their counterparts deceptions.

Whether little white baby fibs or large scale levels of dishonesty, a lie is a lie.

We’ve all been guilty. With the negative notions that come with the act of lying, sometimes we can forget, it’s simply for the best.

Men lie more to avoid confrontation and protect their gal’s feelings. But see, that’s another lie I just told to make myself feel better.

So here it is… our list of the most common lies men tell:

1. No, you don’t look fat.

Do not ask questions that we do not want truthful answers to, right? Wrong.

I prefer my man to imply my body is that of a goddess and I am the sexiest woman alive.

Besides the fact that most of the women who ask this annoying question do not have a pinch of excess .lbs to even spare, the occasional fishing compliments thing is bound to happen.

So unless your guy is kind of a douche who likes to put you down, this one is a no-brainer. Job well was done I hear you loud and clear.. I look good. Thanks, babe.

2. You are a fantastic cook!

“Who’s meatloaf do you like better mine or your mom’s?”

WARNING: Do not fall victim to this trick question.

Let’s face it, cooking is not everyone’s specialty, especially in the modern world with overloaded schedules and the luxury of delivery food at our fingertips (shout out to Seamless).

Either way, he will appreciate the attempt as much as you appreciate his lie.

Women Are Revealing The Absolute Worst Lies Their Exes Have Ever Told Them

Getting screwed over by your ex can be a really rough time in anyone’s life. Breakups are hard enough as it is, but to break up because you find out the person you’re dating is a huge POS—that’s even harder. After the relationship is said and done and we find out the lies our exes have told us, it makes the breakup even worse. Recently, @SheRatesDogs shared a tweet saying she wanted women to share their “favorite/worst story of an ex lying to you” and she would retweet them and share them throughout her day.

She posted one of her “favorite lies from an ex” that is so outrageous, it makes me literally SMH.

This was my favorite story of an ex blatantly lying so… today we are doing a group activity… please respond with your favorite/worst story of an ex lying to you & I’ll be retweeting them throughout the day pic.twitter.com/mJ6pEHCP6Z

Women Are Revealing All The Ways Their Boyfriends Act Different In Private v. On Social Media And It’s So Relatable

When it comes to social media, it’s not uncommon that people act way differently online than they do in person. In fact, it’s more common than not that people portray a completely different person on social media than they are in person. Recently, one college student decided to blow up her own boyfriend’s spot about how different he acts on social media because—compared to the way he speaks to her one-on-one/privately—it’s light years different.

Olivia O’Leary, a student at UVIC in Victoria, British Columbia, tweeted about her boyfriend saying that the “minute the bedroom door closes” her boyfriend is all cuddly and sweet and nice. But, on social media, it’s like “me and my b*tch.” Honestly—who can’t relate to that?

https://twitter.com/olemacdon/status/1098786284779143168

O’Leary then shared the receipts from her own boyfriend, showing that his text messages show a loving, caring, adorable guy—but, on social media…who that be? I mean…it’s like two different people entirely.

https://twitter.com/olemacdon/status/1098788791148376064

In the texts, he’s obviously excited to see her, falling in love with her more and more and…SO EXCITED TO SEE HER TOMORROW!!!!

But, on Instagram, her boyfriend posted a photo from a day of hiking together—captioning it: Hiking with my broski. Ummm…what gives?

After O’Leary shared the two photos online, people began to share their own experiences with their boyfriends and how different they react to them on social media. Sure, behind closed doors things seem all lovey-dovey and sweet, but, the minute a guy logs onto social media it’s as though their manhood is questioned and triggered by being called “whipped” or “tied up.”

Like, this boyfriend who is…a bit vulgar.

Or, this guy who writes sonnets in text message.

Or, this guy who compared his girlfriend to a man.

Or, this guy who could care less about his girlfriend.

Or, this boyfriend who is more concerned with staying “hip.”

Or, this guy who compared his girlfriend to Lord Farquaad.

Or, this guy who is too busy bragging about making his girlfriend “wet.”

Or, this boyfriend who called his girlfriend his sister.

And, this guy who called his girlfriend a “depressed goblin with titties.”

It just goes to show you—most guys are d*cks online, but, behind closed doors—they cannot live without us. They need us, they worship us, they want to be with us all day, every day. So, don’t worry ladies—you’re not alone.

15 Reasons Getting A Dog Is Better Than Getting A Boyfriend

Think you want a boyfriend? Well, maybe you do. But have you ever considered that you what you really want is a dog?

Hear me out: boyfriends can be great. They’re nice to sometimes have around. Sometimes you might even love them. But they can be problematic. They don’t always do the stuff we want them to do or pay attention to us like we hoped they would.

Dogs don’t always do what we want, either, but there’s no denying that they love us like nothing else in the whole world. They’re about as near to perfect as creatures can get. They always try their hardest to please us, and their only real drawback is that they don’t stick around as long as we want them to, which would be forever. A dog such as a cavapoos would be your true loyal partner.

So if you’re actively pursuing getting a boyfriend, stop and think about it for a few minutes. Do you want a guy around, or do you just need the awesome love of a dog? If you visit Dogbreedo.com they have listed some of the most popular dog breeds you can consider. From Retrievers to German Shepards you can find your perfect and budget-friendly dog which we are sure will be a better option than having a boyfriend! Check out these 15 pervasive reasons that dogs, on the whole, are way better than boyfriends.
