Media

• Most men enjoy technology in some shape. If he is a video game fanatic, purchase him the latest game or accessory for his game station, or a card of points he can use for downloadable content. Get him a two-player game you can learn to play with him. A movie rental subscription may also be a good gift for the film lover. You can snuggle on the couch with an instant streamed flick any night of the week. He can even play this through his gaming system. For the music lover, invest in a new MP3 player or concert tickets to see his favorite band -- even if you're not a fan.
  
  

Accessory

• Use his birthday as an excuse to splurge on nice cuff links or a watch. You can engrave these items with a message for a personal touch at most jewelers. If you have been together for a while, purchase a nice piece of jewelry he can wear to remind him of you. Choose an accessory he would wear on a daily basis or just on special occasions.
  
  

Outfit

• On his birthday, trade in his old sports T-shirts for a spiffy outfit. Take him shopping for an outfit that highlights his best features and he can wear for dinner parties or nights out. If he's not into shopping, sneak a peak at his tags and choose an outfit you think he would look good in. Your boyfriend does not need to be into fashion to appreciate an outfit from his favorite store.
  
  

Star

• If you want a gift your boyfriend can enjoy forever, name a star after him. You can do this online and will receive a gift pack that includes a certificate and map of the sky. You can also purchase a piece of Ireland for your boyfriend. Just like with the star, he'll receive a map to the location and a certificate of ownership.
