However, please think for a moment. If it is your boy “friend”, there are some things you should keep in mind. It is too late after choosing a gift. What should you be careful about?
7 things to remember in giving birthday gifts for boys
-Be careful with electrical appliances
Electrical appliances are good gifts, as many boys like them, but you need to be careful what to choose.
What girls want and boys are interested are different. Such as an aroma lamp, which seems an ordinary gift, will make girls say “thank you” but boys might feel that they don’t know how to use it.
A blender seems to be a gift for girls, but it is good for boys as well if he likes cooking. Think about who you are giving it to, and be careful not to choose from girls’ point of view.
-Be careful with accessories
A ring, a bracelet, or a necklace…they are one of the popular gifts, but you need to be careful the most when giving to boy “friends”.
Things you wear are good gifts for your important person, but you might get into trouble if he has a girlfriend. Also, if he likes you, he might mistaken your feeling. Another (physical) problem is that he might be allergic to metals.
If you are thinking of giving an accessory, select items that won’t touch skin directly, such as cuff buttons.
-Think carefully when choosing clothes
If he is your close boy friend, you probably know what kind of clothes he likes. Clothes will possibly be a gift for him. However, as same as accessories, it might make his girlfriend unhappy if he has one.
Also, it is difficult to know his size. You can know if it is for your boyfriend by hugging him, but you won’t hug your boy “friend”, do you? Shirt is easier, but it is better to avoid pants or bottoms.
You will have less problem with smaller items such as hat or scarf.
-Be careful with items with characters
There are many cute characters these days, that there are many items with characters in stores as well. There are varieties of products.
For boys, however, just looking at funny and cute characters are good, but many of them don’t want to have them by their side. Some people think that useful things are acceptable, but toys just make them confuse.
Recent popular, trendy things are easy to select and can make exciting atmosphere, but it is no use to give useless thing. Please think carefully whether it can really make him happy or not.
-Pay attention to foods
It is often said that if you can’t choose good gift, foods are good. They won’t remain and will disappear after eating, so they won’t cause any trouble in the future.
What you need to be careful is not to give something that he can’t eat. He might be allergic to something, have religious rule not to eat something, or have likes and dislikes of foods that you don’t know.
If he is on a diet, giving sweets will make him angry. Research about him carefully before choosing foods for gift.
-Be careful with things related to pets
It is not something he uses for himself, but you can give something for his pets if he has them.
If he is a realistic person, it will make him happy to give him foods for his pet he always uses. If he has birds or small animals, new toys for them sounds good as well.
It is happy to receive a gift for yourself, but receiving something for your important thing, such as pets, can make you happy as well. You can do this to your friend, because you know him well.
-Think about him when choosing stationery
Doesn’t include much important meanings as accessories, and doesn’t disappear as quick as foods. That’s stationeries. They are necessary everyday whether he is a student or a worker, so he will use them even if he doesn’t like the design a little bit.
Also, as long as he is not in high level in his work, he can’t take care of the qualities of stationeries. You can make him happy by giving a high qualitied stationery that he won’t buy for himself.
Ball point pen or business card holder, which are often seen by other people, are worth giving for you too.
I hope this article will help you choosing birthday gifts. There are characters and preferences for each person, so all the tips above are not always true for everyone. However, please remember them as basic knowledge.
It is enjoyable to choose gifts, but it can make you a bit nervous at the same time. Thoughts that you want to make them happy might disturb your usual taste. However, the best thing about gift is your feeling. The fact that you thought about them when choosing gifts is fully included into gifts.
