The Best Ideas for Anniversary Gift for Boyfriend of 7 Years and Useful Tips to Create a Great Gifting Experience

Your anniversary is approaching fast and you have to plan everything so that it is just perfect for the big occasion. One of the best ways to make it memorable is to buy a nice gift for your man. There are so many gift suggestions out there and obviously confusing. Your gift should be a fine mix of both functional and romantic which would make the anniversary memorable for him.

You have spent good seven years in a relationship. By now, you are aware of all the likes and dislikes of your boyfriend. Anniversaries are always special because it marks the celebration of the day your stars aligned. After long years of relationship, you might not go to selecting a very cheesy and romantic gift. Rather, your priority would change from die-hard romantic to something more towards practical. The gift selected should be somewhere between being romantic and also practical. You can do little tweaks with the packaging of the gift to make it romantic.

Again, as the relationship grows, both the partners explore a lot about each other and they know what one likes or dislikes. Some of us have this habit of being a little inconsiderate when it comes to gifting someone. We tend to think that the other person would like what we like. We think that partners should have similar feelings of likes and dislikes and therefore end up selecting a gift from our point of view rather than putting thought into what our partner might enjoy as a gift.

Even if you have selected the best gift and the expensive one, shabby packaging would dampen the spirit of the person receiving the gift. Wrapping of the gift is the first impression of how much effort have you put in selecting the gift for your partner. Men might seem all rough and tough and much ado about nothing kind but inside they carry a mushy heart that is vulnerable. Believe us when we say that seeing a glittering gift-wrapped box would fill them with joy like a baby. On the other hand, a dull wrapping might dampen their spirit a little.

Just a dry wish with a gift box is not enough when you are celebrating your anniversary. We always talk about how men should go an extra mile to make their lady feel special. However, women should also go that little extra mile which makes the occasion memorable and reminds your guy how much you love and care for him. Moreover, it shows him how much you appreciate what they do for you and the way they care.

Sunglasses are something that is universally liked by men and some even have a nice collection of sunglasses. If you are wondering which shape would suit him according to his face structure, then going with a classic aviator would be the best option. We liked the Ray-Ban Men Aviator Sunglasses 0RB3025I in particular, priced around Rs.7,000 at myntra.com. It comes with the steel toned, metal oval full frame and high bridge with flexible nose-pads. Ray-Ban offers one year warranty against manufacturing defects.

If your man is into photography whether professionally or as a hobby, buying a camera would be a good choice. Although, you will have to expand your budget a little, cameras have long life span and therefore purchase worthy. For the professional cameraman, you might want to do a little research on the type of camera he is looking to add in his collection. Our choice would be Nikon D3400 Digital Camera Kit (Black) with Lens AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm, 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR Lens, 16 GB Class 10 SD Card and DSLR Bag available on Amazon.in. One reason is the tag of ‘Amazon’s choice’ which makes it trustworthy. The camera comes with 24.2 megapixels and can record 4K UHD movies. It is available for Rs.37,000 on the website.

The good thing about the smartwatch is that they are multi-purpose from telling the time to offering a host of health benefits. You might want to gift this to your boyfriend if he is looking to change his watch in the near future and upgrade to a smartwatch. There are a lot of brands offering entry-level smartwatches to the expensive ones. Our preferred pick is Samsung Gear S3 at Rs.24,500 on the official Samsung store. The watch comes with 1.3 inches 360 x 360 Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, Dual-core 1 GHz CPU, 768 MB RAM, 4 GB internal memory among other features.

One of the best innovation in the entertainment industry has been the portable, Bluetooth speaker. Wire mesh-free speakers are easy to connect and a must have if you are into music. Almost all the good brands have their own line of wireless speakers now from entry level to the high-end ones. From the universe of speakers, our vote is for JBL Flip 3 Splash Proof 16 W Portable Bluetooth Speaker available for roughly Rs.7,000 on flipkart.com. With the sound output of 16watts and signature JBL bass radiator, the speaker is perfect for your boyfriend because it can even be cleaned with water in case you have spilled something on it.

Perhaps one of the best and most comfortable clothes to slip in ever made in the history of fashion; A pair of Jeans could be an ultimate gift for your boyfriend. While basic blue is always good, go for black, grey or other shades that might just surprise him. You would be flabbergasted to see how many blue pairs your boyfriend already has and therefore it is better to go for a different colour. Our favourite is Nautica Grey Tapered Fit Jeans for Rs.4,500 on myntra.com. However, you might want to know about your boyfriend’s favourite brand before buying a pair of jeans for him.

If you thought that video games are the stuff for kids then you might want to give a second thought to your perception. The adults love video games as much as the kids do. Else why would the gaming companies make games meant for the 16+ age group? If your boyfriend’s favourite past time is to relax on his couch and play video games, then go for the latest version of the popular games. Before buying the title however you would want to know the genre of games your boyfriend likes. You are in luck if you boyfriend owns a PS4 because the safest choice would be FIFA 19 for Rs.4,000. You can pre-order it now on flipkart.com and get the 5 jumbo Premium Gold packs- 1 per week for 5 weeks, 7 FUT matches- Cristiano Ronaldo Loan Item, special Edition FUT Kits designed by FIFA soundtrack artists.

Ever wondered why your boyfriend does not want to give away his favourite sports jersey for a wash. Well, it might be his favourite team who is scheduled to play tonight or he might just be a little on the superstition side when it comes to supporting his favourite team. You can now take care of that problem all at once by buying him a sports jersey of his favourite team. To most of us girls, it might sound like a boring gift but to your boyfriend, it is nothing less than the best gift for the anniversary. On Amazon.com, you might find the football team jerseys at a discounted price. For the Manchester United fans we liked Mott2 Unisex Cotton I AM United - Manchester United Football Club Team Slogan - Soccer Theme Printed Round Neck Jersey T-Shirts available for Rs.799 only.

Another favourite pass time for men is to watch their favourite player playing in the stadium. Well, in seven years of your relationship, you know what kind of games your man likes to play and watch. If you are planning to celebrate your anniversary out of the city, then select the place where his favourite game is up and running. You can do a little sightseeing, celebration with a twist of sports and he would just love his game. You can look out for different events related to his favourite game in the happening around your city and get two tickets.

Again, if you thought that those spiderman or Hulk collectibles on the windows were meant for kids, then it is time to rethink. Men just love the collectibles of their favourite superhero or movies just like we buy multiple hair brush for no reason. There are a lot of collectibles available these days online and you can just browse to find the one that your boyfriend would love. Well, we liked the website Superherotoystore.com and there a wide range of offerings. They have collectibles for DC fans, Hasbro's, Neca and more. You can buy really cool stuff such as The Arkham Knight Statue by DC collectibles for Rs.10,000 from this online store. The good thing about this online store is that they ship across India.

Earbuds, phone stands, covers, small camera lenses etc are some of the smartphone accessories that you can buy for your boyfriend this anniversary. Or you might want to gift him an assortment of Smartphone accessories and not just one piece. You can shop for various smartphone accessories online on flipkart.com as they have a popular and wide range of smartphone accessories. If you are a selfie couple, you can buy this Selfie Stick Accessory Combo for Rs.599.

Striking a fine balance between romantic and functional is the key to select the best anniversary gift. You do not want to gift him a tie just because he wears it to work. It should be something which hints at all the effort you have put into select a gift for your man. However, it should also be something that your boyfriend likes rather than being overly romantic and not his choice.

Best gift ideas come from the usual talks with your boyfriend where both of you get to know each other and what your partner wants. He might have at times mentioned how eagerly he is saving money to get that smartwatch or those pair of glasses. Well, you can pick something from the list that he has made of all the things he wants and gift one on your anniversary. Not only your boyfriend would be happily surprised by the gift but also notice that you listen and care about his likes and dislikes.

Well, seven years is a long time and even though we love each other, expressing the same is not the priority always when you are in a relationship for that long. For that one special day, however, you should keep your straight face and routine life aside and do something exciting. Make your partner feel that how happy you are to have him in your life. Recall and talk about all those good times you had in past and how you have planned your beautiful life ahead with him. Just at the right time, give him the gift with a smile on your face and make it a perfect date.

Everything from selecting the celebration spot to the gift should not be done at the last minute. You should start preparing for this special day well ahead so that everything turns out to be just perfect and not a last minute disaster. Select the venue and also buy the gift in advance to make sure that everything goes as planned.
