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.

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!

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.

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.
