My boyfriend is 16 and he hunts. He has so many knives and hunting gear that it's out of the question. I don't like getting guys clothes and picture frames and he hates the movies.
The first year that my (Fisherman) husband and I were dating, I didn't know what to get for his birthday. I knew he loved fishing, but he had tons of stuff, and I didn't know what he needed. I bought him a giftcard to Bass Pro Shop and he was thrilled! He had lots of fun choosing the items he wanted and had me looking at them with him, so I learned a lot. You can get giftcards for Bass Pro Shop, Cabella's, Field and Stream, or most any store that sells Hunting Goods and Supplies. I promise that there is something that he needs that will make his hobby easier or more fun that he and will be happy that you provided him with a way to get it.
Help please my boyfriend is 17, I'm 15. I love him so much, but I have no idea what to get him for Christmas. I could do all the cute stuff, but I don't know. He's already got a job and therefore money and he's already gotten me a Christmas prezzie. Knowing him it's pink and fluffy, but I need help. He's into rock, Iron Maiden and stuff. His ex got him an engraved pic for his guitar and a load of his fav CDs and chocolate.

What about a tee shirt with the logo of one of his favorite bands? Don't give gift cards or anything like that. You want to give him something that he will use, and then think of you when he does. There is no need for your gift to be expensive.
I don't know what to get my boyfriend this year for Christmas. I need help. Any ideas?
By Shay
If you know any of his interests either a book, or a music CD would be appropriate. If you are not sure get him a nice card and put a gift card in it for Walmart (everyone ends up in Walmart at some point).
I am 15 and my boyfriend is 16, we have been dating a while. I'm having a hard time figuring out a Christmas present for him. I want it to be very special, like him. Please help me.

This is my boyfriend and my first Christmas together, and it also our three month anniversary. He is 18 years old. Any suggestions?
By KLJ
What are his hobbies? I would get him a gift card! boys are harder to buy for than girls.
I am trying to find my boyfriend a funny gift for Christmas, since I already got him a cute and useful one. Any suggestions would be helpful.
By jordyn from Torrance, CA
Can I request approximate age, rough location (state or country) and general interests? These things help in suggesting funny gifts that may also be useful.
I was going to suggest mantyhose because I gave my husband some years ago. Unfortunately they don't make that kind anymore it seems. They had a little addition on front that womens hose do not have. They were pretty funny.
At the Dollar Store they have a giant comb - its bright green and 2 ft long!
I want to get something for my boyfriend for Christmas, but I have no idea what he wants. What should I get him?
We are kinda young to be dating, but you can't really help who you fall in love with.For Christmas I am getting my boyfriend a blanket with his fav NFL logo and I need to get him something else. I already know what he got me. I hate it when he spends money on me to begin with, then he tells me not to get him anything, irritation to the max. I also want to tie our 10 month gift into it because the day after Xmas is our 10 months.
I really need help, he's 17 and I'm 15. Please help. Older girls, mommies what did you do when you were in my shoes? He's my first real relationship so I'm like super lost.

Well, I am not going to suggest much in the way of a gift but I am going to give you some relationship advice. (I am a grandmother who is currently single). Enjoy and accept gracefully and happily gifts he gives you and things he does for you, because this one of the main ways that men give to their women. Most don't run around saying "I love you" and doing or saying romantic things frequently. As for a gift, maybe a matching car mug or something else with the sports team logo. One other thing on the gift giving thing to a man, you don't have to match what he gives you penny for penny, in fact, he should probably give you more than what you give him.
I'm 55, but I remember being 15 and 'going steady' with a boy. Because my crochet skills weren't all that back then, I got a talented friend to make him a crochet scarf and face warmer in his team colours. He was still wearing it years later, made me feel very good. So if you crochet, knit, or have some other talent, a nice go-along gift would be something you made, or commissioned someone to make for him.
@ThirftyVicki-I was single for over ten years after my 18 year long marriage broke up in 1998. I remarried and moved to Scotland in January 2011-to a guy I met on a current events discussion message board forum. LOL, happens when you least expect it!
I have been dating my boyfriend for 14 months now. He gets everything he wants from his mom and will not tell me what he wants for Christmas. He is 16 and I am 15. He lives in Virginia and I live in North Carolina. So it is difficult to see each other. Please help. Thanks.

I have a boyfriend; he is 21. He loves to draw and would like to learn how to make tattoos. I now that Christmas is almost here and I don't know what to give him for a present. Can you help me find some ideas for what to give him?
By Addy from Dublin, CA
Get him a book or magazine with lots of colorful pictures. He can practice drawing the ones that will be part of his tattoo repitoir. Many years ago a friend of mine was looking at some magazines I hade called "The Best of Dragon Magazine" and said they had some great pictures that would be great tattoos.
There is a cool book called the Tattoo Encyclopedia and you can get it cheap here (free shipping worldwide)
www.bookdepository.com/
Short Description for The Tattoo Encyclopedia
An illustrated reference to the origins and meanings of nearly one thousand authentic tattoo symbols and line art from around the world is organized in an A-to-Z format and includes coverage of images from ancient Buddhist and Chinese designers to symbols from the present day.
Kat Von Dee is an author and I hear her book has a lot of illustrations of her tats. Also any artist can always use drawing pads, sketch books, water color pencils etc. Pull it all together in a cool portfolio style (messager) bag with some paint markers so he can show his style and stuff on the bag.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year. We are both 16 and have a promising relationship. He is very hard to buy for and is interested in either becoming a pilot or joining the Air Force or Army. I have bought him a couple of things for Christmas already that have humorious meaning from different points in our relationship, but I want to get him something of substance.
I am an eighty year old male. When i was in my mid-teens I received a stainless steel pocket knife with blade, scissors, and nail file. I have carried it every day and found it very useful. A swiss army kife, with not too many gadgets on it so it will be quite thin, would be a nice gift.
If he shaves, an electric shaver is a nice gift.
I would try ebay. "Airplane", "Pilot" or something. If you can't find "It" there you can't find it anywhere!
How about a pocket watch with a picture of you or the both of you together? A little old fashioned maybe?
All the men in my family have money clips. Some gold, silver, monogrammed.
I thought the pocket knife was a great idea also.I would definitely monogram a date on the knife. My husband carries his everywhere and uses it!

I have no clue what to get my boyfriend for Christmas, he loves Fortnite, the color purple, and pandas are his favourite animal. He doesn't play much sports, but loves to go on walks, I know nearly everything about him, but nothing is helping me decide what to get him.
We're both 15 and a complete of nerds. He's into science stuff and video games. I really want to avoid getting a gift card, but I have no other solutions.
I'm also super artsy and creative so he's probably expecting me to make him something. Help?My boyfriend is 22 and I'm 18. We have been together for 8 months now. We are currently living together. Although I live with him I have no idea what to get him for Christmas. He loves Bundaberg and Ford items. He has just currently bought a bar and pool table himself. He has so many different types of Bundaberg rum that he ages.
Besides that he is into the PS4 and he has loads of games. I really want to get him something special and romantic, as I know he will be for me. This is our first Christmas together and I want to get the best thing he will love. Plz help me out. ThanksMy boyfriend is away for Christmas and New Years. So I said I would get his present to him when he comes back. The thing is, we've only been dating for a week and a half now, but I have known him for about 2 years. I have no idea what to get him, because he is so diverse. He is down to do anything! He doesn't have many hates or loves. I literally have no clue what to get him. Please help me.

What should I get my boyfriend for Christmas? He is getting me a ring and a new hoodie, but I have no idea what I should get him.
By Haleigh
I'm having trouble deciding on a Christmas gift for my 15 year old boyfriend. Since we have only been dating for a month, I don't want to get anything too big; small but meaningful.
I was thinking about movie passes and a hoodie of his favourite colour. I know that his favourite colour is black, and he wears a lot of camo. I've seen him wear beanie type things a lot, too. I don't know that much about him, but I've known him for a while now. I would talk to him, but we live 20 minutes away and he has no phone at the moment. Please help. Thanks.
By Sydnee T. from Alberta
I am 16 years old and my boyfriend is 19. We have currently been dating for a year and a month and I have absolutely no idea what to get him for Christmas. Last year, I got him a whole bunch of little things, but I haven't a clue for this year. Please help!
By Hannah C.
My boyfriend and I haven't been together long, but we have been really good friends since we met. We are both 14 years young. I actually have money and I want to try to get him something for Christmas, but I have no clue what. He doesn't play video games, so that is out of the question. So I have no clue what to get him!
By Shannon B.
My boyfriend and l have been dating for 6 months now. We met in Alaska and his family recently decided to move to Texas. Since the Christmas season is right around the corner l want to find him the perfect gift. Something to remind him of me till we are together again. Any ideas?
By Danielle
You know him better than any of us do. How old are you anyway? It sounds like you are both minors and by the time you are together again, you more than likely will be over him. You could make him a CD of the songs that you guys liked together or if you have pictures of the two of you doing things that you liked to do together, you could make a CD of that and send them to him. Remember with the cost of shipping, smaller is better. I just found that out when I shipped a couple packages to relatives.
I'm in a long distance thing too. I'm making my boy a tie. Make him something memorable. You could make a little photo album of pic's of the two of you.
I have been out of work for 3 months now and I have no income. I would really like to give my boyfriend of 10 years something spiritually special for Christmas. Or I would like to do something very meaningful for him. Please help, he has been so good to me.
By ann
Especially since you want to give him something spiritual for Christmas I think the best gift you can give is sharing what Christmas is truly all about. It's not about 'things' but rather about love, sharing of self/selves and reaching out to others. Being that you've been out of work perhaps you can make a creative meal for the two of you and maybe even make a bit extra and ask a neighbor or former co-worker who is also out of work who might not be Blessed enough to have a significant other to share in this special Holiday.
Do you live together? If not, you could clean his home for him...if you live together, try a really good back rub...very thoughtful, and won't cost you anything but time and love.
I am new to this, but I have a question, and I need help as soon as possible! I am 16. My childhood best friend of all time asked me out on Wednesday and I was planning to get him something for our one week anniversary next Wednesday. This is also our last day before Christmas break. So this gift is doubling as a Christmas gift and a first week anniversary gift. I've already gotten him a blanket he has hinted he wants.
But I want to give him something meaningful to go with it. Like something homemade or special to us. He is 15 (almost 16). He plays football and basketball. I manage our boys' basketball team. He means the world to me and I want this to show him how much he means to me and how happy he makes me. Thank you!What should I get for my boyfriend for Christmas?
