Beau Going Out of Town? Here Are Our Top 10 Gifting Ideas for Boyfriend Before He Leaves

It is hard to move to different cities for studies or work when you are in a committed relationship. There are lots of inhibitions and doubts in your mind about what turn your lives will take now and that cloud of uncertainty takes over your mind. However, a little more effort from your side to make your boyfriend feel loved and cared can ensure that your relationship always remains on the smooth track. Last time we checked, gifting someone anything they would love was a great way to show your love and make your boyfriend happy. We have a few tips and ideas for you which would help you out in selecting the best gift for boyfriend before he leaves.

We always select gifts according to the occasion and this time too it is important to know if your boyfriend is leaving the town for studies or for a job. It would help you to select the ideal gift for him. For instance, giving him a leather jacket would not be a very good idea if he has to join office there. Rather, you might want to gift pack a good coffee mug with a sweet and loving message.

Portability is yet another factor that should be kept in the mind when selecting the gift for your boyfriend. A coffee mug, tumbler, watch and all such gifts can be carried to work or college. Your boyfriend will not have to make a list of all the things that he wants to buy once he reaches there. It is always better to pack some of the useful things along and ensure that he can start a new life without much hassle and having to buy everything on their own.

Giving something functional when someone is leaving is always a better idea. We are not talking down on all those cute little showpieces out there which really make a good decor but when someone is looking to build a new life out there in another town, he would want to have things that can really help him doing that rather than something which just sits on the shelves. The decoration part comes only later after the person has settled down in his home.

We talked about everything from the gift being functional to being easy to carry. However, something that should not be lost in all this is your sweet message along with the gift which would be the most romantic reminder of what he means to you. Such gestures of love and affection are now needed more than ever because you two are going to be in a long distance relationship. We do not want you to force stuff all the good memories in him but sweet signs like this will keep his heart with you forever.

Something that every man loves in his wardrobe is that leather jacket. You might be surprised to know that in places where winter is not even prominent, men buy leather jackets for the sake of maintaining a fine collection. However, there are all sorts of leather materials out there and you should be extra careful when checking the quality of the leather. There are faux leathers on the market which can cost you as much as a leather jacket but the quality would be very poor. Now, contrary to the coffee mugs and tumblers, you cannot just get your message imprinted on the back or front of the jacket as it will make the jacket look tacky if not something else. You can get the message engraved somewhere on the inner side of the jacket where it is visible just to your boyfriend. We liked Justanned Black Solid Leather Jacket available on jabong.com for around Rs.7,000.

Well, one of the most classic gifts that you can give to someone you are parting with is a coffee mug or a tumbler. After all, who does not like to have a hot cup of coffee early in the morning or in the short breaks at work? If your boyfriend is moving out of the city to work, then mug would be a better idea but for someone who is going to the college, carrying a mug is not as much practical as having a tumbler. Again, you can adorn the gift with a beautiful message of how much he means to you. You just have to be careful that the message is not too bright and big that it makes your boyfriend feel awkward. Our pick from the wide range available is Homesake White Caffe Coffee Espresso Drinking Mug available at discount of amazon.in for Rs.450. What we liked most about the mug is that it has enough space to adjust your message.

Again, just like the leather jacket, the trendy caps have its own fan following. If you have seen your boyfriend pairing up his attire with the trendy caps of different colours then nothing could be a better gift than that. Also, you can find so many ways to mention your special message on the cap. Often the initial alphabet of your name is the way of being romantic in a very discreet way that only your boyfriend can understand. But who does not love the language of expressions and signs in love? Nike Unisex Red Solid Baseball Cap available for Rs.1,195 from myntra.com seems like a gift worthy choice to us. The baseball cap comes with the visor and also brand/manufacturer warranty of six months.

Whether in school or college, laptop bags are always useful. We would also say that this is the safest gift if you are unable to make up your mind on what to gift to your boyfriend who is leaving after a few days. There are various types of laptop bags; For instance, for college, you would love to go for the backpacks but in professionals, it is the crossbody or the side bags that look better. There are so many options available these days but you should select the one only after confirming the size of the laptop that your boyfriend carries to avoid any last minute embarrassment. For the office goers, our pick is Klasse Navy Blue Laptop Bag available for approximately Rs.4,600 from flipcart.com.

Perhaps, one thing that you man would never buy for himself unless you gift him one and then he would be all excited and happy about it is an essential care package. Giving them a whole range of products would be ideal. We would recommend going for Ustraa shower pack available for Rs.1,750 on happilyunmarried.com. The package comes with body wash, hair cream, face scrub, moisturizing cream and cologne spray.

This is yet another useful gift that you can give to your boyfriend who is going away for work or college. A hot cup of tea is something that offers you the energy to spend the rest of your day well and productive. However, not everyone is a very big fan of going up to the kitchen, switch on the gas and make coffee. Coffee maker on the other side is a good option if you have a habit of having a coffee first thing in the morning but have to live alone in the apartment or hostel. He is going to be really glad for having you in life. Morphy Richards Europa Espresso and Cappuccino 4 Cups Coffee Maker is our go-to choice for the gift. With the capacity of four cups and 800 W consumption, the coffee maker is available for Rs.3,319 on flipkart.com. You also get two years warranty on the product from Morphy Richards.

If your boyfriend likes an occasional drink and is above the legal drinking age, gifting him a personalized flask is also a good idea. There are several good flasks available online that you can select from. Also, you can get the customized messages engraved on the flasks which would be a sweet reminder of your love and care for your boyfriend. Among other flasks available online we liked, Sukot Leather Stainless Steel Hip Flask the most with its leather finish and stylish look. You might want to hurry up and buy the flask on flipkart.com to get the amazing discount of 63 per cent in the price. The flask is available for just Rs 295.

This might not be the usual gift selection but if your man in an enthusiastic gardener, then a gardening kit might be the perfect gift for him. You might not be aware but plants and being one with nature does de-stress and unblock the mind. Sure, your boyfriend has cracked the secret; which is why he just in love with the plants and flowers. You can buy a nice gardening kit online and gift it to your boyfriend. Klaxon Garden Tool Kit - Easy Gardening Tools Kit (5 Tools) from amazon.in would be our top pick amongst other options available online. For just Rs.400, you would get Big Trowel, Weeder, cultivator, small trowel and fork. All the tools are coated for rust protection which definitely makes this gardening kit a better option over others.

We can say that the watches are one of the safest choices when you have no idea what to gift. However, they also qualify as an evergreen option for gifting. These days, we have more choices like designer watches, smartwatches, etc and the better option according to us might be the smartwatch. Smartwatch is it is more than just a watch and your boyfriend is going to love it. Our obvious choice would be Apple Watch Series 3 GPS 38mm SmartWatch (Space Grey Aluminum Case, Black Sports Band) priced at Rs.31,884 on amazon.in.

You might think that a bedding set might be a little on the bigger side as a gift. But do not forget about the home delivery options that online stores offer today. All you have to do is to take the address where your boyfriend is going to stay and simply get the bedding set delivered there. While buying the bedding set, your focus should be more on the masculine styles. We liked the El Sandalo Satin Bedding Set available for Rs.1,890 on flipkart.com.

Well, like we said, giving something which is only fit for warming up the shelf is not a very good idea. You should give something functional because your boyfriend is going to need it when he is setting up a new place to live.

Good luck cards and flowers are good but only as side gifts with the main one being a little more purposeful. How about picking one from the ideas we have mentioned above?

Like we said, someone who loves gardening would be thrilled to get the gardening kit but not everyone would consider it a nice gift. You should, therefore, be aware of interests of your boyfriend.

Long distance relationships are hard and no one realizes it more than two people madly in love. But little gestures like sending him gifts and love notes would surely make his day and make easier for both of you to retain that connection you had. So chin up, and get a nice gift for your boyfriend whose feelings are more vulnerable than ever now since he is going away from you for a while.
