When choosing the best gifts for boyfriends (or partners, coparents, or husbands), it can be difficult to find thoughtful presents that they’ll love and use for years to come. Your boyfriend might be the picky type who just buys whatever is on his list, or the practical kind who says he “doesn’t need anything,” which makes gift-giving tricky. Luckily, there are plenty of useful and unique gift options out there that they might not think to buy for themselves.

You don’t need a specific day to show your partner, coparent, hubs, or BF how much you care, but here’s a nudge that the holidays are creeping up. To make your shopping experience a bit easier, we’ve curated an assortment of fun gift ideas from our favorite brands, retailers, and subscription services. Whether you’re shopping for someone who spends their time communing with nature, working out, or whipping up elaborate meals for their family, you can find a great present for them on this list. Read on for some of the best gifts for boyfriends—ones they’ll (hopefully) be gushing about through the next calendar year.
