Is There a Difference From Buying a Gift for a Straight Partner?
The simple answer here is no. There is absolutely no difference at all. In reality the only difference that exists is the same one that exist with everyone, and that is tastes. Every man likes a gift that is practical, that can be used in everyday life. Everyone also enjoys a good joke gift, but that is for you to know your partner’s sense of humour, just think about what he finds funny. Don’t buying him something as a joke that you know annoys him! It is easy to that stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, and whilst some are true, it would be wrong of me to fall in them for this article.
That being said, it doesn’t hurt to splash the cash on your loved one. Especially if it is something useful that can be appreciated each time he uses or wears it. Never go over budget. The love he had for the gift will soon be lost when he is worrying about your money troubles, or you can’t pay your share of the bills because you spent it all on his amazing gift. But if you can afford it, then why not buy something a little bit more expensive? The old saying ‘you can’t buy love’ is very true, but you can show your love with a nice coat.
A Gift for Him, Can Also Be a Gift for You
A practical idea for him is a great idea, there is no question about that. But what if you get him a gift you can use too? A couples escape for example? If you know he will love it, then there is no harm in including yourself in the gift process. Sometimes, spending a day with the person he loves most can be the best gift you can give him. So don’t be afraid to spend a bit on a couple’s day out or adventure, or if your budget is limited, then plan a cheap day together doing something he loves. Picnics, movie nights, or a nice long hike together are all inexpensive gifts that can be exactly what he needs on his special day. Or buying him something you would love to see him in!
There are also practical gifts for him that you can enjoy too, stylish kitchen appliances for example. But be careful with that route, don’t buy him a new microwave because you need a new microwave! Buy him something he hasn’t got, that looks awesome and that you know he will love. Be sensible when buying for him, nobody knows him better than you.

Chose according to your budget, but whichever you chose, he will look great! See the collection on lenskart.com.

Simple and Effective Gift Ideas
If you are on a limited budget, but still want him to feel special, here are a couple of ways you can do it. You can make these suggestions personal, romantic or just because as you want. They are yours to create in whichever way you want. Show him you know him, and add a bit of yourself into the mix too.
His Favourite Baked Goods, Homemade By You
This is a guaranteed winner of a gift when you have a low budget. Baking is a great way to show someone you care and love them. Not only is it delicious and some may remind them of childhood memories, it also fills the kitchen with sweet and beautiful smells of cakes or buns and other heavenly scents. Use his favourite ingredients to make him is most desired sweet or savoury. He will love to bite into something made by you, with your own hands and time. You don’t have to be an expert baker to pick up a cook book and give it your best shot, no matter what the outcome, it will be a gesture he is bound to appreciate and remember forever.
His Favourite Film, Meal and Bottle of Wine or Drink
Plan a cosy night in around him. Pick his all-time favourite movie, or a selection of three if you have a bit more time, cook him a meal, or order in from his favourite takeaway, sit down and relax in each other’s company sipping from his favourite drink of choice. No matter how you do and prepare this magical day or evening, always remember that it is about him, he has to feel spoilt and appreciated. It is your time to shine however, by showing how well you know him and giving him the perfect gift anyone could ever give him.
Remember, it is the Thought That Counts!
This is as true as it gets, but use common sense and make sure it is a good thought. Think of gifts you would like to receive, think about what annoys your boyfriend and avoid that, think about what he likes and what he hasn’t got. Think practical, and remember who it is for.
