  When Christmas rolls around each year, choosing a gift for your boyfriend can be a challenging prospect. As you shop for a gift, consider factors that affect gift choice, such as the length of time you have been together, how serious the relationship is, and your boyfriend's interests and activities.
  
  

Event Tickets

• Look for sporting event, concert or theater tickets that are expensive or difficult to get, and buy them for your boyfriend's Christmas present. Before making the final purchase, be sure that he will be available on the day of the event.
  
  

Photo Book

• If you have been together with your boyfriend for a long time, you likely have a collection of photos of the two of you. For a personalized gift, upload your photos to a site like Shutterfly and create a book of photos. To increase the chance that your boyfriend will keep the book around to show to his friends and family, limit the overly romantic or mushy photos and stick to fun shots from meaningful trips or events.
  
  

Home Brewing Kit

• For boyfriends who are into beer, a home brewing kit can be a fantastic gift. Kits generally include a fermenting device, a bottling device, ingredients, instructions and other accessories.
  
  

Electronics

• No matter what your budget, you can purchase an electronic device or accessory for a boyfriend who is into computers or music. If you are on a budget, consider a quality pair of headphones or a gift card for new music downloads. For higher budgets, a cord-free charging station, new music player or even the latest laptop are great Christmas gifts.
  
  

Travel Accessories

• If your boyfriend travels a lot for work or for pleasure, or if he'd like to travel, get him a Christmas gift that will make his trips easier or more pleasant. A new suitcase, quality laptop case or a garment bag are all appropriate for business travelers. For boyfriends who travel casually, think about items like a new carry-on bag, a digital book reader, or a pass for his preferred airline's VIP lounge. For international travelers, consider a new expedition backpack, a daypack that will be unobtrusive in dangerous areas or a set of world adaptors for electronic devices.
  
  

New Activities

• For a surprising and exciting Christmas present, book an activity that your boyfriend is interested in but has never tried. Consider bungee jumping, skydiving, paintball, downhill skiing or snowboarding. Make a special trip of it by booking a hotel and making reservations at a fun restaurant or a brewery.
  
  

Trips

• If you can afford it, book a trip for you and your boyfriend as a special Christmas treat. Plan a week or a weekend at a resort, on a cruise, at a ski hill or overseas. To make the trip as much of a treat as possible, take care of everything: plane tickets, taxi, champagne for the hotel room and one or two activities.
