The Best Gifts to Give Your Boyfriend on the Joyous Occasion of New Year's (2019)

What sort of hobbies does your boyfriend have? Is he more of an outdoorsy person who loves camping and hiking rather than staying at home and reading a book? Or would he rather go for a long drive than spend hours working out at the gym? Keeping in mind his interests and hobbies is an important part of picking out the perfect gift.

Does your boyfriend have a good sense of humour? Would he prefer a gift that makes him chuckle every time he looks at it or would he rather have something that makes his life better? Would he prefer a funky t-shirt or a comfortable jacket?

It is important to keep in mind the length of time you have been together. Certain gifts would be acceptable only if you have been dating for a while. While getting him something you know he'd love is always a good idea, but if you haven't been dating for long then there is always the chance of things getting awkward. Awkwardness is not a reaction you're looking for when gifting someone.

Keep in mind what his year has been like. Did he move forward professionally? Did he finally start spending time at the gym? Think of the ways his year has turned out the way he's expected or didn't expect and choose a gift that is related to that in some manner. For example, if he finally started spending time at a gym, get him a gift that would make his time there easier, like gym clothes, bag, towels or even a good audiobook.

If your boyfriend plays the guitar or is looking for a good starter electric guitar, look no further than the Fender Squier. The main reason why this guitar is a good buy is pure that of the build quality offered for its price. While you will find electric guitars for cheaper by companies like Vault, almost every guitar player will look for an upgrade as soon as they've reached the limits of what those guitars can achieve.

Where the Fender is different is how it still functions as an acceptable mid-range electric at the price of a starter. With 21 frets and a rosewood fretboard, the Fender Squier design is iconic with many manufacturers having shamelessly ripped it off in the years following its release. A perfect gift for a boyfriend who's making a commitment to music, this guitar is priced at Rs.11,520. Just make sure that your boyfriend plays with his right hand as this is a right-handed guitar.
