Fun Inexpensive Christmas Gifts for Your Boyfriend

Then there’s the Grumpy Cat Classic Painting design. All very campy and rather good. It’s available as a poster, as an iPhone 5 case, on greeting cards, and so on. The owners don’t want to let go of the Grumpy Cat meme that quick. If you’re not familiar with this Internet trope, here’s an article explaining memes briefly and showcasing some Grumpy Cat designs of yesteryear.

This year, besides the Grumpy Cat Classic Painting, the thegrumpycat store on Zazzle has also come up with a Grumpy Cat Mona Lisa design. Maybe you won’t get a print, but decide to get a postcard or a card. It might make your boyfriend smile.

You can also add your own text to an image of the original Grumpy Cat. If you can’t think of anything you’re terribly happy with, you can search with “Grumpy Cat” on Google images. I found things like “Non” (with a French mustache and beret), “Like a good neighbor, stay over there,” “Excuse me while I do not care” (a mean parting gift?), and so on. You can also check thegrumpycat store on Zazzle for ideas they have already implemented in their custom designs (“Good morning. No such thing” and others.)

Does your boyfriend spend a little too much time playing computer games or exploring virtual worlds like Second Life? Get him a T-shirt that acknowledges his passion in a humorous way, while also hinting that a bit of change is in order. It says “I went outside once. The graphics weren’t that great.” It’s actually one of the bestselling items on Zazzle this Christmas season. Lots of gamers out there and lots of girlfriends trying to cope with it. Your boyfriend might get a kick out of this T-shirt – and then get started right away on creating some in Second Life.

If he likes dogs, he might enjoy a tie with lots of fun cartoons of dogs. 

Scarves are also a great idea. If you both love owls or if you are night owls, consider getting a pair of owl scarves for the two of you. There are a number of owl designs on Zazzle. One I really like is the one I’m showing here, with these teal birds. If you click on it, you’ll see other designs from the same artist: great drawings of owls, and very nice colors. There’s even an ascii owl, and it’s pretty good! A twin pack of scarves might be a nice way to celebrate your relationship.

If you want to shower some attention on him in a more off-beat way, you can get him coupons saying things like “Breakfast in bed. You choose the menu,” “Good for a weekend getaway,” and so on. If you feel you are not spending enough weekends away, or enough time relaxing together, then this might be a good idea to try. He will receive the book of coupons and take the hint that you would like some things to happen more often in your relationship.

P.S. I checked out the book of "coupons from the heart" again on Amazon and didn't see those pages I mentioned above ("Breakfast in bed," etc.). Whether they're in there or not, this is a fun gift with 16 fun ideas. It might inspire you to make your own coupons.

The vast majority of men love gadgets. That includes both younger men and older men. Older men love gadgets, too, even if sometimes it's mostly the gadgets of their own youth. But these days technology has become a lot of fun, so many of them enjoy some of the latest offers on the tech market.

If you’re planning on getting your boyfriend a series of gifts this year, it might be a good idea to include a gift card among them. You can get it on paper, or you can have Amazon email it to him as a surprise.

I hope this helped a bit. Some of these gifts are certainly inspiring me! I hope they give you some ideas, too. Happy Christmas!
