Ladies, we get it. Some guys are just impossible to shop for. And unfortunately for you, your boyfriend is one of them. He already has all the toys he’ll ever want and if he ever comes across something new, he just buys it on the spot. And sadly, patience isn’t something that can be easily wrapped with a bow. When it comes to finding the perfect gift for your boyfriend, our golden rule of advice is to indulge in his hobbies. First of all, it shows him you actually do pay attention and he’ll love knowing that at least in theory you support his interests. And don’t think he won’t brag to all his friends how you somehow managed to give him what he really wanted making you the best girlfriend ever. But in case that won’t fly, we’ve provided some extra options with 10 great gift ideas for your boyfriend. Each one appeals to a different type of guy and is a cool and unique gift he won’t see coming.

3. Throwback Jersey
Best for: Sports fans
Chances are good, that if your man loves sports, he’d love a throwback jersey for his favorite team or player. Throwback jerseys are always a great idea simply because they never go out of style. They can be worn to any game for instant fan cred or out on the town for beers with the guys just as easily. The only tricky part is it may take some work and dedication on your part to figure out what team or player is his fav. Additionally, many teams have had a number of different styles throughout the year so tracking down the right look may take perseverance. The jersey shown here for example is for Kobe Byrant but mimics the Lakers time as a franchise in Minnesota during the 1940’s. But if you dig through the racks and find that perfect throwback for you guy, expect your stock to skyrocket in his eyes.

6. Holy Stone GPS FPV RC Drone
Best for: Tech geeks
There’s no denying it, guys love drones. They’re like mini helicopters we can pilot, and crash, without our pilot’s license and are a blast to fly. The Holy Stone GPS FPV drone just happens to be the holy grail of remote control drones thanks to its wide array of features. The built-in camera connects to any smartphone and literally turns the drone into the “eyes in the sky”, perfect for a first person view while navigating tight spaces or taking bird’s-eye view photos from high above. Forgiving flight controls combined with the stability of four rotors makes flying this baby a breeze. The one button take off and landing helps with that too of course. We love the follow me mode that automatically has the drone chase behind to film and keep the pilot in view that’s perfect for filming videos.
