Vankyo Leisure 495W Dolby Audio Projector

People with gamers and film nerd boyfriends, gather around — sure, you could try to scrape together enough cash for a giant-screen TV, or you could recognize that what your boyfriend wants is a big picture, not necessarily a big screen. That’s when you realize you should get him a projector — and this one from Vankyo delivers high-quality image and sound for a very reasonable price.

Ekster Grid Backpack

Is your boyfriend outgrowing his backpacks, but isn’t quite ready to make the jump to briefcases just yet? Wallet brand Ekster has jumped into the backpack space with their new Grid model, and it’s sort of a perfect midway point between the two — the functionality of a backpack with the grown-up chic quality of a briefcase. Besides being comfortable and stocked with a good number of zipped pockets, the structured construction of the Grid will help him look seriously sharp.

Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon

Whatever age your boyfriend is, the urge to build stuff never really goes away for many guys, and a beautiful Lego Star Wars set like this one of the franchise’s most iconic ships is a crossover that many a kid dreams of seeing as they pull away the wrapping paper on a gift. Just prepare yourself to hear “pew-pew” noises and “Great, kid! Don’t get cocky” coming from the construction area.

If underwear is the first thing he puts on in the morning, it’s sort of the foundation of his clothing, isn’t it?

They’re comfortable, classic and sharp-looking. You’ll love seeing him in them.

Parfums de Marly Althaïr Eau de Parfum

We gave the Althaïr the honor of Best Date-Night Scent in the 2023 AskMen Dating Awards, but why should single guys have all the fun?

Nothing makes a man look badass like a well-crafted beard. But, you know, emphasis on the “well-crafted” part — which many guys forget.

Southern Scholar Socks

Sure, socks aren’t the sexiest gift of all time — but damn if they’re not practical. If you’re searching for an accent gift to flesh out his overall present haul, you could do a lot worse than gifting him with his new favorite pair.

Glerups Boot With Leather Sole

Want to ensure your boyfriend never gets cold feet? A pair of Glerups slippers might be just the thing. Made from felt, they’re beyond comfortable, incredibly durable and sharp-looking too (which is ironic, given how soft they are). The one drawback?

Maker's 46 Bourbon Whisky

Not all guys like whiskey, but the ones who do? They’ll probably like Maker’s 46. It’s a sort of fancier version of the already quite popular Maker’s Mark — nice enough to drink straight and to save for special occasions, but not so nice that it’ll break the bank.

Carhartt Work In Progress Wool Scarf

As the Wu-Tang Clan famously said, “protect ya neck.” After he opens this gift, your boyfriend will be clamoring for the weather to stay cool just so he can wrap this cozy number around himself and go for a walk looking both jaunty and well-insulated.

Sunspel Men’s Luxury British Wool Jumper

You know that saying, “Take a picture, it’ll last longer”?
