The 43 best gifts for boyfriends when you have no idea what to get

Need a gift idea for your beau but can't think of anything? Don't be too hard on yourself. Picking out the perfect gifts for boyfriends takes some trial and error.

And between Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and the gift-giving holidays, there are a lot of chances to pick the wrong gift. Ideally, you want to get him something that demonstrates your love (or affection, if you're not quite ready for the "L" word), your appreciation, and the fact that you know exactly what he likes. But striking the perfect balance can be tricky, whether you're a new couple that hasn't discussed gift guidelines yet *or* you're running low on boyfriend gift ideas after dating for a while.

Fortunately, you can still get your boyfriend a present he'll love even if you don't pride yourself on your gifting abilities — we're here to make sure of it. No matter what your boyfriend likes — gadgets, grooming, gaming, or gear — there's probably something on this gift guide he'll love and cherish. After all, your name will be on the card.
