Hobby Gift Basket

• Put together a gift basket that is tailored to his hobby or special interest. The "basket" can be any type of container that fits the items you choose, such as a gym bag, wooden box or trunk, or picnic basket. For a sports fan, create an ultimate sports game kit by using a large bucket or bowl in his team's colors. Fill it with a jersey, snacks and drinks, a seat pad and clothing items for his favorite team, such as a T-shirt and cap.
  
  

Electronics

• Get your tech-savvy boyfriend an electronic gift for Christmas. Electronics come in a wide range of prices, from the inexpensive digital alarm clock to the pricey flat-screen televisions. Some other electronic gift ideas include a new mobile phone, electronic organizer, iPod, portable DVD player, GPS navigation system or laptop. You can also complement his favorite electronic items with smaller purchases such as an iTunes gift card or ear buds for his iPod.
  
  

Gift Certificates

• Gift certificates are entirely appropriate Christmas gifts when you are not sure what your boyfriend wants or needs. The gift certificate can be to any type of store, such as a clothing, shoe or department store. If you know of a hobby or game store he frequents, get him a gift certificate there as well. Other gift certificates might be for a movie theater or amusement park, or you can get him tickets to a concert or sports game.
  
  

Practical Gifts

• Practical gifts are always appreciated around the holidays, as they can be used year round. Some gift ideas for your boyfriend include personal items such as a belt, watch, cologne, cuff links, wallet or money clip. For the business traveler, give a briefcase, laptop case or passport holder. If your boyfriend has his own home, consider practical home goods like a wall clock, media storage unit or kitchen appliance.
  
  

Photo Gifts

• To add more personalization to his Christmas gift, give him a photo gift. Put together a scrapbook using photos from your relationship, which may include photos of places you have gone, your friends and the pets you have together. You can also place event tickets or other paper items into a scrapbook. Alternatively, get new photos taken of you at a photography studio and put the best ones into picture frames for his gift.
