One common thing amongst most men in the world is that they cannot shop for themselves! Wouldn't you agree, ladies? While they fancy new and fashionable clothes, they almost are never able to find the best looking clothes for themselves. So, if your man faces the same problem, come to his rescue and give his wardrobe the upliftment it needs. Get him some clothes that fit every occasion! You can also gift him casual shirts or t-shirts if you think he needs them the most. Jeans and trousers work fine too.

Our choice when it comes to clothing is this wonderful formal shirt by Van Heusen. The blue and the off-white self-design formal shirt is made from 70 percent cotton and 30 percent tencel.

If you feel that these gifts aren't going to be enough and you want to take it a step forward, we present to you some romantic gifting options to go him completely head over heels for you.

Is there a place where he always wanted to go to but could not make it yet? How about you make some reservations and bookings and take him to that place as a special gift? If you have no idea about the places he would love to visit or have been meaning to go for a while, you can always talk to his friends or family to get an idea. The idea here is to surprise him by taking him to a place that is close to his heart. You can make your reservations from platforms such as makemytrip.com and search for hotels on Trivago.

Win his heart over once again by taking him out for dinner. And not just any dinner date! A romantic candlelight dinner is what we are talking about here. Make a reservation with a restaurant that arranges for candlelight dinners, or you can even set it up at home. The whole idea is to spend uninterrupted time with each other – talking, relaxing, getting to know each other better, and connecting in the best way possible. If arranging for it at home is not feasible for you, there’s nothing to worry because there are many restaurants all across the country that arrange for a candlelight dinner for two. You can log on to experiencesaga.com to book a candlelight dinner for your beloved in your city.

Another cool gift for your boyfriend could be a ticket to one of his favourite concerts, shows, or his favourite superhero's movie. It could be a great way to surprise him! Gifting him an experience instead of a materialistic gift is a much better option. To check out shows, concerts and movie playing in your city and booking tickets, you can log on to bookmyshow.com.

They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. And it is true. So, give him a pleasant surprise and win his heart all over again by cooking him his dinner. Try to cook his favorite dishes, and yes, you must not forget the dessert because it is essential to end the dinner on a sweet note. If you have never cooked before, you can check out numerous tutorial videos that are regularly uploaded on YouTube by experienced and home chefs. Remember that this is an experience he shall remember and cherish forever.

Well, it's not always necessary to purchase gifts. You can make one yourself and trust us on this that it will make him way happier. If you have a good hand at sketching, you can draw him a portrait or if you want something more unique, make fun items like a memory box, a photo frame with a collage of your pictures, or even a movie with pictures and videos that capture your memories. And if you can write well, you may even pen down a beautiful song or a poem for him.

Now that you have all the options of the gifs at your disposal, you must also know when and how to give it to him and see his face lit up with joy.

You should never rush with a gift. Since it is for someone special you should wait for a special day or moment to give him the gift. Wait for a day or moment when you both are together or plan to meet. Hand it over to him physically so that you don’t miss the look on his face.

Hiding his gift in a secret place until the D-day is a great idea. If you do not live together, hiding the present is a breeze, but if you do, it might get difficult to hide it away from sight. However, some of the best places to store the gift are the backs of kitchen cupboards, your closet, or you can even leave the gift with a friend and family member till the right time. Just make sure to bring in a surprise element.

Extra charm is added to presents when the receiver of the present doesn't know what the gift is yet. We agree that it is difficult to not tell your boyfriend about the gift, but trust us, it's going to be worthwhile! So, try to build an air of suspense but do not reveal it just yet. You can also ask him to keep guessing to increase the suspense and while giving it to him, do not forget to gift wrap it. It adds another layer of suspense too!
