Shopping for boyfriends is hard. Yeah, they will usually pretend to like anything you buy or make for them, but nobody wants their boyfriend to be secretly disappointed with a gift. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m the only one who has a hard time shopping for guys. I do tend to over-think most things. To me, buying a guy clothes is very generic and just screams “You need to learn how to dress!”. It’s true, there are lots of guys out there with a very poor sense of fashion, but I think that’s more endearing than anything else. Besides, I would rather my boyfriend not obsess over what he wears. That would be weird and annoying. I tell him I like the way he looks in green, he wears green until I tell him he looks good in another color. It’s easy and I don’t want to ruin the system. Most guy gifts like cologne and tie clips are too impersonal for a boyfriend. Guys do like electronics, but I’m not sure I’m willing to spend the kind of money it would take to get him something that he would actually like from Best Buy. I have a tendency to pick out presents that I would like too, which isn’t always the best way to go about gift giving. I have given a few pets or video games that I never really intended to let the recipient keep. I also worry about giving a guy a gift that’s too sentimental. If it’s too mushy, I’m afraid he won’t really like it but will feel obligated to use or display whatever it is. Guys can get away with giving a girl something fuzzy or shiny for just about every gift giving occasion, but jewelery and stuffed animals aren’t gonna fly when buying a guy a present. My boyfriend doesn’t wear jewelery or stockpile sentiment. He likes the trumpet and his bicycle. That’s not much to work with.
