The Food Snob: Gifts for Foodie Boyfriends

If your boyfriend is a total food snob, he may already be acquainted with the famed New York institution Russ and Daughters.

This Goldbelly giftcard allows him to enjoy an opulent New York style brunch from the comfort of his own home. This generous culinary gift will serve six people (or two people over the course of a few mornings!) so he won’t go hungry come brunch o’clock.

Inside, he’ll find 1 lb of premium smoked salmon, 6 assorted hand-rolled bagels, cream cheese, chocolate Babka, some Private Blend coffee to complement his meal, a Russ and Daughters branded ceramic mug to drink from, and an insulated tote bag.

Any foodie boyfriend would be over the moon with this culinary experience gift.

The Pamper Prince: Gifts for Boyfriends Who Love the Spa

Massage Envy Gift Card – various prices

It’s been found that over the last year, our new sedentary lifestyle is leading to increased muscle and joint pain.

If your boyfriend is always complaining of sore muscles, or just loves to be pampered (who doesn’t?) this Massage Envy gift card is the answer.

It can be difficult to know which spa is right for him, but luckily this gift card takes the guesswork out of it for you, so he can select his own choice from participating spas.

Brooklinen Super Plush Robe – $98.00

If he prefers an at-home spa experience, this super plush robe from luxury bedlinen retailer Brooklinen will make an excellent addition to his pamper routine.

Brooklinen are famed for their high quality bedlinen and towels, and now they’ve turned their attention to sleepwear. This sumptuous robe is made from combed, long-staple Turkish cotton and will make him feel next-level comfortable while he indulges in a face mask or has a long, lazy Sunday morning.

We think pampered boyfriends will love this luxurious robe!

Theragun Prime – $299

Another pick for the at-home spa experience… this Theragun delivers all the power and therapeutic effects of an in-person massage, on the go or at home.

This at-home massage tool is truly the gift that keeps on giving, as he’ll be able to use it whenever his muscles are sore.

The Nerd: Gifts for Geeky Boyfriends

New York Super Hero Tour – $58

If your boyfriend is a self-proclaimed geek who loves nothing more than debating Marvel vs. DC, quoting Iron Man and dressing up as his favorite superhero on Halloween, this New York superhero tour is the perfect nerdy outing to take together.

The fun begins when you meet your enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. You and the rest of the guests will then be chauffeured around NYC to over 40 locations featured in super hero films and TV shows.

Drive down one of the most famous streets in the world in the heart of New York and visit locations where beloved super heroes saved the day. The tour highlights scenes from Superman, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, the Spider Man movies, The Defenders, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Iron Fist, X-Men and more!

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset – $214

… Or, if his nerdiness manifests itself in playing games rather than watching films, we think this Bose gaming headset will make the perfect gift for your boyfriend.

This is definitely at a higher price-point of $214, but if he plays a lot of games it’s truly worth the investment, with a stylish design and state-of-the-art technology built in.

He’ll enjoy a 40 hour battery life, noise-cancelling technology, the ability to make calls, and Amazon Alexa integration. This gift is a truly top of the line headset that any geeky boyfriend is bound to thank you for!

The Music Aficionado: Gifts for Boyfriends Who Love Music

Museum of American History Through Music Tour – $40

An American History Through Music Tour makes the perfect addition to a day out in D.C, so surprise your music-loving boyfriend with this fun experience gift.

You’ll meet your friendly and knowledgeable guide at the Museum of American History in the Nation’s Capital.

You will then be escorted to the Star-Spangled Banner exhibit where you will discover everything there is to know about the national anthem, including the war that sparked the song.

Next, you will dance on over to the African-American history and culture gallery exhibit and the ‘Many Voices, One Nation’ exhibit where you will learn about world’s most famous musicians, view many musical artefacts and discover the beautiful history they hold.

Discover music’s surprising relevance to the country’s historical events, political music and times of struggle.

Songwriting Experience – $110

Or maybe he’s expressed songwriting aspirations of his own?

This Songwriting Experience will make a thoughtful gift for boyfriends with untapped musical talent.

His lesson begins when he meets with the experienced songwriter, Meaghan McElderry, to discuss his ideas for the song lyrics and style. She will then compose a personalized verse and chorus that best interprets his thoughts.

The highlight of this musical gift is his very own 30 second jingle which will be sent to him via MP3 copy to share. Who knows, maybe he’ll even write a song for you…?

VMP Vinyl Membership – various prices

If you’re struggling to think of what music to buy, this vinyl membership is the answer.

Each month, he’ll choose a mystery vinyl from the available genres: Classics, essentials, hip-hop and country. These limited edition records are hand-chosen by picky music experts and delivered directly to his door.

He’ll even receive fun extras along with his records, such as line-notes and other unique merchandise!

The Petrol Head: Gifts for Boyfriends who Love Cars

Speedway Stockcar Driving – $399

For boy-racers, petrol heads and driving fanatics, gifts don’t get much better than this Speedway Stockcar Driving experience.
Your lucky boyfriend’s experience begins with a one-hour drivers’ meeting, where he will be given instruction on driving techniques, safety procedures and everything he needs to know to prepare him for this racing adventure.

Before getting behind the wheel, he will take a narrated van ride around the track to learn the racing line. Once the driver’s training session is complete, it’s time for him to suit up, strap in and put the pedal to the metal!

Before he hits the track, a crew member will buckle him in and check his radio. When the thumbs up is given, it’s time start his engine, hear that V8 roar, and enter pit lane.

Next, it’s time to take the Checkered Flag! He’ll enjoy the ride of his life as he races around the track for four heart-thumping laps.

Clermont Off-Roading Adventure – $118

If he prefers an off-road driving adventure, this Clermont experience is the one for him.

The fun begins when he meets his instructor at the Off-Road Center in Clermont, Florida. Upon arrival, he will receive a safety briefing, and be shown how to successfully maneuver the vehicle of his choice.

Next, it is time to get suited-up for the big adventure. Once ready, your boyfriend and the rest of the group will head out with the guide on a purpose-built trail for a trail ride packed with inclines, sand holes, water splash and hills and more!

The Outdoorsman: Gifts for Outdoorsy Boyfriends

Portable Campfire – $28.00

If your boyfriend is the outdoorsy type who plans a camping getaway every weekend, always wants to go hiking, and would rather have a picnic in the forest than a meal at a fancy restaurant, this portable campfire makes a thoughtful gift.

He can set up his own personal source of warmth wherever his outdoor adventures take him – whether he wants to tell a ghost story, roast marshmallows or just stay cosy while he gazes out on nature, this clever gift is guaranteed to bring warmth to any camping trip.

Rafting On The Pigeon River – $45

Adventurous, outdoorsy boyfriends will absolutely love this rafting experience on the Pigeon River! Join him on this thrilling rafting day out, and the two of you will be grinning from ear to ear.

Team up with your group and an experienced rafting guide to learn proper techniques and safety skills before driving to the rafting launch site. You may choose to enjoy exhilarating Class III – IV Rafting on the Upper Pigeon or relaxing Class I – II Rafting on the Lower Pigeon River.
If you select the more exhilarating option, you will begin at the base of the Smoky Mountains where the Upper Pigeon River dam releases a thrilling flow. These five miles of Class III rapids will provide a fun, fast paced whitewater run through rapids named, “Powerhouse” “Big Rock” and “Roller Coaster.”

If you are looking for a more relaxing trip, then the Lower Pigeon trip is a great introduction to whitewater and fun for all ages. The lazy rapids of the Lower Pigeon will challenge those with no whitewater experience.

Both the Upper and Lower Pigeon Rafting Trips are fully guided and suitable for both entry and intermediate level rafters; the Pigeon River offers a truly incredible adventure to remember.

We think this adrenaline-inducing adventure is the perfect way to spend a day with an outdoorsy boyfriend.
