Top 5 Gift Ideas for the Boyfriend Who Has Everything

No matter how much some guys may hate to admit it, they carry around as much, if not more, stuff than their female counterparts. My boyfriend has what we call a "Costanza Wallet." It's also pretty old (at least 10 years), and some of the pockets are torn, almost falling apart. He's been looking for a new one himself for a while now, and even though he boasts about his "researching" skills, he still hasn't found one. But I have (even though he's really picky - no logos on the outside, lots of pockets, etc.)! Bwahahaha.

Hello, my name is Samantha, and my boyfriend is an Adult Swim addict. I've tried getting him to watch shows that come on earlier in the day, shows that aren't cartoons, and making him go to bed early (you have to be at work tomorrow!), but nothing worked. So in the end it's best just to make it easier to get his fix by buying his favorite Adult Swim shows on DVD. I remember getting him the ENTIRE Samurai Champloo boxed set, and I'm surprised he didn't cry. He spent the better part of the next two days glued to the TV and out of my hair. It was the first gift that really made an impact on him, so the idea is always my best last resort.

Guys spend a lot of time "taking care of business." And it can get pretty boring just sitting in the bathroom for hours on end (I kid). Instead of twiddling his thumbs, my boyfriend likes to read books of lists, the weirder the better. His most recent purchase was 501 Most Notorious Crimes, which he really enjoys in addition to stuff like how to survive a zombie apocalypse, 1001 pick-up lines, and even the almanac. And they make great top-of-the-toilet decorations, kinda like a coffee table book for the bathroom.

If your boyfriend is like mine, then he has a pretty boring collection of underwear. We girls know that if you're going to walk around the house in your undies all day, they had better be cute enough to look at. The first pair I ever got my boyfriend had four-leaf clovers all over them (we're both part Irish), and they put a pretty big smile on his face and lead to a few giggles. While he would have never bought them himself, and I don't think most guys would, he definitely appreciated them. And they look pretty good on him, too. Just be careful not to choose a pair of boxers that are too silly or over-the-top; depending on his personality, he may not ever wear them.

If all other gift attempts fail, this one should prosper. Come on, it's the gift that keeps on giving month after month! He'll have something to read in bed or on the train to work, and he won't have to remember to pick up the latest issue and spend more money. To some people a subscription might seem like an after thought, but if you get the boyfriend who has everything 3 or 4 of these babies, it'll definitely mean something to him.
