Things to get your boyfriend for birthday

Google “best gifts for boyfriend” and you may find yourself wading through pages and pages of middle-shelf brown liquors, various multi-tools, cushioned socks, and extremely swagless (but comfortable) sneakers. So, namely, good gifts for, like, a disappointing father-in-law? You can do better, and we can lend a hand, in the latest installment of our best gift ideas series.

A gift for a boyfriend should always do one of three things: spark joy, level up his style, or set the bar just a little bit higher for any gifts headed in your direction. If you can hit all three qualities in one gift and it's also something you might borrow or enjoy from time to time—like a cozy cardigan or a covetable couch throw—well, then you've really aced it. Here are a vast selection of express shippable holiday gifts to get the wheels turning, from gaming gadgets to skincare sets and beyond that'll hopefully make it under the tree in time in order to prevent any holiday season dust-ups. Together, let's make the Google search results page for “best gifts for boyfriend” something we can all be proud of.
