Great Gifts to Give Your Boyfriend
- Surprise your boyfriend who loves the great outdoors with an eco-adventure vacation in a tropical rain forest. Adventure tour companies in several countries that have rain forests, such as Costa Rica, offer thrill seekers and conservationists challenging and exciting adventures that will give them the adrenaline rush they are seeking. Your boyfriend will zip-line through the rain forest, hike, bike and explore to his heart's content. You can go with him, or send him off with an adventurous buddy of his. If you can't afford an adventure tour out of the country, see if you can find a local adventure company that has rope courses and zip-lining within a reasonable driving distance. You could also give him hiking gear, such as top-of-the-line hiking boots, or a gift certificate to an outdoor supply store.
- For the ultimate movie buff, surprise him with a trip to Hollywood to take a back-lot tour of one of the major studios in Hollywood, including Warner Brothers, Sony, Paramount and Universal. Purchase the all-day, in-depth tours that some of the studios offer. You may just run into a famous actor going to work. Enjoy the Walk of Fame in Hollywood and take a bus tour to see famous Hollywood landmarks and celebrity homes. Another more affordable idea is to hook up his TV with surround sound speakers to enhance his movie-watching experience at home. You could also give him a gift basket full of new DVDs, candy and a homemade popcorn-making kit.
- For the sports fan, there is no greater gift than tickets to the "big game." If you're able to score tickets to the Super Bowl, baseball World Series or NBA Finals, you'd be giving him the experience of a lifetime. But as these tickets are hard to come by, try getting great seats or even a luxury box for a regular season game. If you can't afford to get tickets to any game, buy him a jersey of his favorite player or upgrade his cable to include a sports package so he can watch games across the country.
- If your boyfriend is well traveled, and there is one place he would really love to go but has not had the opportunity, surprise him with the trip of a lifetime. Present him with a travel packet that includes a plane ticket and itinerary for an all-expenses paid vacation to his dream destination. If you can't swing this, take him on a mini-vacation to somewhere that is within driving distance. If you live in a small town, take him to a nearby city and tour the city, going to all the major attractions. If you live in the city, take him to the country to spend a day exploring a small town. Another idea would be to give him a map of the world, and put a picture of the two of you in each place that you have gone together, and a star on the places that you hope to go together one day.
