Six Inexpensive Romantic Christmas Gifts That Your Boyfriend Wont Hate

Six Inexpensive Romantic Christmas Gifts That Your Boyfriend Wont Hate
http://www.guyspeak.com/six-inexpensive-romantic-christmas-gifts-that-your-boyfriend-wont-hate/ Last week, I generously offered you all five signs that you need to buy the guy dating a Christmas gift. This week, I'm going to talk about what happens when you decide you need to buy that gift. Even though it shouldn't be, buying good Christmas gifts is a hard thing to do. Even if you know your boyfriend well, and know what he likes, there's just something about the process that is stressful and nerve-wracking. He might hate what you give him, and then you'll feel bad about it for months (especially if he gets you an awesome gift). There's just something about the holidays that creates pressure. It's as if a gift is a microcosm of the relationship as a whole, and you want to get it just right. That's tough, and it gets even tougher if you don't have hundreds or thousands of dollars lying around to spend. So, because I'm a very helpful Mystery Man, I'm going to provide six gift ideas that are both romantic and inexpensive to get you past any mental blocks you have this holiday season. If you didn't have any ideas, now you do! And hopefully one of them is that "just right" gift you're looking for. SIX INEXPENSIVE ROMANTIC CHRISTMAS GIFTS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND WON'T HATE "SOMETHING PRACTICAL HE ACTUALLY NEEDS" - For most guys, practicality is romantic. Something that would make his life easier, like a really good shaving kit or kitchen tools or a tie case or a useful iPhone accessory, would be very much welcome. He'll think about you every time he uses whatever it is you got him, and you can take pride in the fact that you made every one of his days better. "TICKETS" - Is his favorite band coming to town this year? Or a comedian he likes? Do you live within driving distance of his beloved baseball (or basketball or hockey or football or soccer) team's stadium? Buy him two tickets. While many sporting events aren't necessarily considered "inexpensive," you'd be surprised at the kind of deals you can get if you buy tickets before the start of the season at face value or through a deal website like Groupon. He'll love opening the gift and looking forward to the event itself. "A DATE PACKAGE" - Build him a "Movie Night" package with popcorn, candy and a DVD he wants (or, at least, add a movie to his Netflix queue). Or a "Reading Night" package with a book, a reading light, and a comfy fleece blanket. Or a "Board Game Night." Or any other "Night" you think he would enjoy. Packages like this are incredibly thoughtful, and will lead to at least one romantic night in. "DO SOMETHING FOR HIM THAT HE HATES TO DO HIMSELF"- As odd as this may sound, some guys would enjoy avoiding an annoying chore as much as they would enjoy getting an actual physical gift. Especially if your boyfriend is busy. So doing something like getting all the dry cleaning dry cleaned would be awesome. Or organizing his desk or living room. Or stocking his fridge with a whole week's worth of home-cooked meals. Granted, these "gifts" aren't that fun to make/do/put together, but they're all fairly inexpensive or even free, and they'd be very much appreciated. "A DAY TRIP" - Plan out a one day adventure. Have it start in the morning and last until the night time, and fill it with events, activities and meals he would like. Make it a day of hiking and a picnic or a trip to a museum or just a visit to a town you've always wanted to go to. Plan the whole thing, write out the itinerary on a card and give him that card on Christmas. Then go enjoy the adventure. For guys that either have everything or don't need anything, they enjoy experiences far more than one more present. "SOMETHING BIG (WITH FAMILY HELP)"- If you're close enough to his family and friends to do this, one option is to talk to them about maybe going in on something really big. If all he's looking for in life is a new HDTV, see if his parents/family would be interested in all chipping in towards that one big gift. The big gifts are certainly memorable, and if you divide up the cost, they're not bank-breaking. So those are six ideas to wrap your head around. Hopefully one of them sparked some "Oooo, that'd be perfect" thoughts. Good luck and happy shopping.
