Gifting on Christmas: Spread the Festive Cheer with the Perfect Gift
The season of joy is upon us! If you are looking for cool gifting ideas for your boyfriend on Xmas then you are at the right place. Getting a gift for someone you love can feel stressful - you want the gift to be something that brings a smile to their face and makes them feel good.
Even though buying gifts for a guy many seem difficult, a little thought and a little planning will easily help you shortlist a few exciting ideas. To make it easier, we have these three tips which will get the ball rolling.
Get to Really Really Know Him
Good gifting is finding something that truly resonates with the recipient. The type of gift may differ - it can be a practical item, a sentimental gift, a gadget or even a gag gift - fundamentally, the gift needs to be something that matches your boyfriend's particular personality, preferences and interests. The best way to hit upon a great gift is to figure out what makes your boyfriend tick.
List down all the things your boyfriend loves spending time on -movies, any hobby, fitness, cooking etc. Or consider his daily routine and see what could help there. Think of his current life stressors and look for ideas that will relax him. You boyfriend will know you have put a lot of thought into the gift when he sees something that matches his unique needs.
Plan in Advance
It takes time when you want to find the right gift for your boyfriend. You will need at least a couple of weeks to scan through all the options online or offline, make a list of the best ideas you find and then actually order it (or buy it), and finally gift wrap it. Making a last minute dash to the stores is mostly likely going to result in a poorly thought out gift that may disappoint your beau so don't procrastinate!
Don't Go Overboard
Yes, you want to blow away your boyfriend with a fantastic gift, but don't give into the temptation to buy him something that feels too much. Consider aspects like the length of the relationship, your budget restrictions and your own boyfriend's perspective before you decide on your gift. For example, for a relatively new relationship (<1 year) giving an expensive gadget like a video game console or an overtly romantic gift may can seem overwhelming.
5 Ideas for the First Christmas Gift
If your relationship is still in its initial phase, then your Xmas gift must be something that's simple yet thoughtful. An extravagant gift may backfire as it may make your boyfriend feel uncomfortable and obligated. Here are 5 cool ideas that any new boyfriend will love to receive.

Of course, Christmas is more than gifts – it's all about spending with your loved ones, sharing the festive joy and expressing your thankfulness for and appreciation of each other. Here are 3 uncomplicated ideas that can make Christmas a little extra special for you both.
Give Him a Love Letter
Caught up in our daily lives, we may not always find the time or the inclination to explicitly share our feelings for our beloved. You may say the three magic words of I Love You, but may not have told him just what he means to you, the small things that does that make him precious to you, how he has made your life better, or his lovable quirks. This Christmas, write him a heartfelt letter that tells him just that. Be detailed, genuine and open - he is guaranteed to cherish and treasure the letter for life.
A Small DIY Gift
The charm of a handmade gift is such that it is pretty much not replicable. Make this Xmas special by adding a small DIY gift to make gifting really personal. It is not difficult today given that we have plenty of resources at our fingertips - look up Pinterest or YouTube, and you will have enough ideas to choose from. Some simple examples: a book of love coupons, a date night jar or a monogrammed mug. All easy gifts to make which speak to how much you care for him.
Start a Tradition With Him
Traditions play an important part in bonding. Having a tradition for the just the two of you will bring you closer and create lovely memories. Starting this year, why not pick out a Xmas tradition (if you don't have one) of your own. It could be as simple as going around the local markets to see Christmas decorations, cooking Christmas cookies and treats together, scheduling a movie marathon of Xmas movies or spending time volunteering with the underprivileged.
