Boyfriend's 21st Birthday Gift Help!

by Annalee
(Washington)

I'm under the age of 21, so I can't buy him alcohol, he isn't much of a drinker anyways. His interests are reading, video games, music (listening not playing) I'm thinking about getting him 21 little gifts instead of a big one. All I can think of so far is a poster, and his favorite candy. Any other ideas? I have plenty of time to get it all together, for his birthday is in December, but I have a feeling this could be a tough one. I always suck at giving him gifts.

========================================
21 cupcakes
21 balloons
Stuff for the winter such as gloves, hat, scarf
Personalized MY M&M'S®
Photo frame with a picture of the two of you
Cool shot glasses (gummy bear glasses are fun)
Funny t-shirt
The Day You Were Born© Custom Coffee Mug

Hi natasha

Since he's into sports, find 20 small gifts related to his favorite sports. Things like a key ring, coffee mug with his fav sports, t-shirt, socks, hat etc. You should also include fun items such as 21 giant cookies, 21 candles, 21 love notes etc.

As for the big gift, since he loves jewelry you can give him an engraved watch or a fashionable handmade necklace to signify his uniqueness.

21st birthday gift for boyfriend

what's an awesome and affordable birthday gift for my 21 year old boyfriend?

============================================

Drinking related gifts would be great gift idea for your boyfriend. You could give him hilarious gifts such as the Camouflage Hops Holster to hold his drinks in style.

Or a fun game such as Wheel of Intoxication Game a great game for ages 21 and up that will have you laughing out loud with your friends. Or the hangover recovery kit for the day after!

Another great idea is the Irish Beer Bucket Gift Basket - 6 Beers with the best Irish beers from brands that are cherished the world over.

21st birthday gift ideas for my boyfriend

by Casey
(Quakertown, PA, USA)

My boyfriend is turning 21 in 8 days and I haven't found a gift that says him. I'm 19 so it's a big no for anything dealing with drinking. He is big on video gaming, he has a huge collection which means that if I buy one he might already have that one. I wouldn't even know where to start from which games are good or not because I'm not into gaming. Besides whatever game he wants that's coming out he already pre-orders. He goes to college and will be graduating next summer. We've been together for 3 years 9 months and 11 days. Past birthdays I've gotten him t-shirts, a stero for his car, and body sprays that don't make me sneeze because of allergies. We both wait for the last minute getting gifts for each other(maybe that's my key problem). He has short hair with a rattail which doesn't help for hair products. He just put in speakers in his car. What do you buy for the boyfriend who buys whatever he wants for himself? I need to get him something that will not only amaze him but his family especially his mother who can't stand me because I'm not model sized. I don't have much money because I make way less than minnum wage and pay rent to my dad. Any ideas will help, thank you.

============================================
Hi Casey,

You have been together for a long time so you probably know him well; therefore a 21st birthday gift basket might be an overwhelming birthday gift for your boyfriend.

Just choose 21 small gifts that hold special meaning, add a note expalaing each gift and wrap it in a nice box.

You can place inside the box items to signify his dreams and likings, items related to your love such as love poem and a picture frame with a photo of the two of you.

Items to indicate his birthday such as 21 cookies, birthday cake, balloons and birthday card.

Or items printed with the no. 21 such as mug, key ring etc..

Boyfriend turning 21. Gift ideas?

by Karlie
(Minnesota)

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 years, so I have gave him pretty much anything you can think of over the years. He is turning 21 this summer. What would be a great gift to get him? Usually my limit is $200. Thanks

==============================================
You can surprise him with an adventurous gift of outdoor activity if he likes that. Take him to a paintball game to have fun day out or something more thrilling such as Hang Gliding or Race Car Driving.

21st Birthday gift for boyfriend

by Emmie
(New York)

I need help finding a gift for my boyfriends 21st b-day. We have been dating for almost three years now and I am out of ideas. I am eighteen years old and currently in college. He is back at home working through the plumbing and pipe-fitting union, he wants to be a welder. He is an outdoors guy and loves hunting, fishing, kayaking, soccer, and fourwheeling. I asked him what he wanted and of course, he said nothing...only some m n m cookies and to see me.

Obviously since he is turning 21, he will most likely be out drinking and stuff- but I am not the kind of girl to buy and type of alcoholic present (which I am underage anyway) =]

I want it to be really special since I am no longer at home and will only be there for his birthday for one day. Any ideas?

==============================================
Hi Emmie

An experience gift is an excellent birthday gift, it's a memorable and fun gift he would love. You can choose any adventure you think he might like, for example Skydive or Flight Lesson. It's and amazing 21st birthday gift.

Uniquee 21st bday gift for my boyfriend

by Joshee
(Zurich)

My boy friend is doing his college. He s going to turn 21 this December 21st. I want to give him a very unique home made gift. I have already presented him a scrapbook with our 100 special moments & a collage with his photos for his last birthday. So I am looking for another out of the box idea. I don't want to gift him with any gadgets or stuff because he already owns every latest thing. I want to give him a very thoughtful touching gift.So please do help me out.

==================================================

Create a romantic gifts hunt around town. You could leave the first clue inside his favorite coffee cup leading him from one place to another, 21 places you know he would enjoy, leaving him to find small gifts and more clues.

Make a giant birthday card and cut it to 21 pieces, like a puzzle. Leave one pice in every place for him to find, so in the end he would build the pazzle and read the card.

Eventually, you could lead him back home to the mailbox where a love letter from you will be waiting and one last clue that will send him to a romantic spot where a blanket, candles, a gourmet dinner and a bottle of wine will be ready for him.

Its my boyfriends 21st birthday in March, we have been dating for 2 years and I have given him so many symbolic gifts its insane!

At the moment I'm thinking of getting him a watch that's engraved at the back with a huge 21 card filled with photos of him from childhood till now? Please help me?

Your idea is great...if you want to add something more you can choose items with the no. 21 or alcohol related gifts such as shot glasses, beer mug or something amusing to mark his special day.

by jess
(colorado)

my boyfriend and i have been dating for about 6 months and i have no idea what to get him for his 21st birthday. his interests are mainly music (electronica, dubstep, hip hop, techno) and skiing. i'm on a budget of about $40. hope you can help :)
thanks!

=================================================

Turning 21 is a major occasion that needs to be marked with drinking gifts. You could give him a funny Over-sized Personalized Beer Mug engraved with his name. It's a gift he would love to show to his buddies.

A super fun 21st birthday gift idea is the Wheel of Intoxication Game. A drinking game that will rock your boyfriend's party. He will have to follow ridiculous rules and execute crazy stunts to avoid drinking. Hours of fun and laughter are guaranteed. Don’t forget to bring an hangover recovery kit :)

We have been Dating for some 7months and his birthday is in June... i need a full proof birthday gift to wow him... we kept our affair hidden to our fiends also so i need a gift idea which isnt too flashy but as well as romantic and lovely.... he is gonna be 21 ... he is a lil artistic minded, a gamer and like to fun and also has baby like innosence.... need an advise as soon as possible... pleaseee

Hi Amrita,

To make his birthday special and romantic you can start his birthday celebration a week before the due date by giving him coupon book redeemable for that week. Include coupons like movie rental of his choice, a one hour massage, or what ever you think he might like.

Shower him all week with love notes or birthday messages hidden in his bag include small surprises such as balloons, birthday card, his favorite candy, a book he wants to read, a CD, etc. The grand finale can be a romantic evening for two.
