It’s your friend’s birthday, but what should you give him? It was two days away last year and the year before that he already had dinner for an evening. This year it really has to be something more original, something he might enjoy for even longer. The choice is difficult and tastes differ.
Your friend
From the age of 18, relationships become more serious and it is fun to give each other nice gifts on birthdays. But what your friend likes becomes a bit more difficult. Of course it varies greatly per person, but there are certainly a number of gifts that are liked by most boys/men. With some gifts the question is what color it should be and whether it should be the large version or the small version. These are difficult choices and it is nice to make them right. To find out, it’s important to ask at unexpected moments when your friend won’t relate the question to his gift.
Original gifts
In general, men are quickly satisfied with what they get in certain areas. But to really make it a memory, it is nice to give him something that he can enjoy for a long time. If we look at something that you can use for a longer period of time, you can quickly sort a number of categories:
- Clothing
- accessories
- Jewelry
- Gadgets
These categories are quite general and widely available, so the search for the products themselves is not that difficult. It then only matters what your friend will like.
Clothing
Depending on the budget you can find plenty in this category, you see your friend every week or every day so you know what his style of clothes is. An advantage you can do with this is to give him something that you would really like to see him in. But of course what matters is whether your friend is happy with the gift. In general, men don’t like shopping, so if they are given a nice piece of clothing, your boyfriend will probably be happy just that he doesn’t have to go into town anymore. In this category it is most original to give a sweater or belt, many trousers are similar. But you can easily make a distinction in a sweater or belt.
accessories
If you know what your boyfriend likes, it is not difficult to know what accessories suit him or what he would like. Original accessories to give to your friend as a gift mainly depend on his preference, but a watch is a very nice gift in this case. Watches are cool, men like to see the time and a watch is something that many men are proud of and distinguish themselves from others. Seasonally, it is also original to give your friend sunglasses if his birthday is around the summer.
A piece of jewelry
He will be very happy with a piece of jewelry as a gift. That is of course personal, but there are many unisex / men’s jewelry available nowadays. For example, you can give your friend a signet ring with initials, a necklace with a cross that you see more and more often or a bracelet. An original bracelet is, for example, a bracelet with a leather strap and a silver plate with something written on it.
Gadgets
With gadgets you can think of accessories for a specific product, for example, for an iPhone, think of matching boxes. These are often available at a reasonable price, but your friend may not purchase them because his expenses have certain priorities. You can also come up with nice by-products for many other things, such as a guitar, just think of a nice tuner. Here too, it just depends on what your friend likes.
The ultimate gift
Ultimately, the most important thing is that you know your own friend well. Only then can you really give an original gift. By asking specific questions at the right times, you can easily find out what his preferences were in that area. Always remember that with original gifts there is a chance that it will turn out wrong and your friend will not actually like it that much. Therefore, do not buy the gift too early but just before the birthday, reserve it in advance but make the payment shortly in advance so that it can always be exchanged.
