Whether it’s your first Christmas together or one of many, picking out a great gift for your boyfriend can be tough. Unless he tells you exactly what he wants this holiday season, it may be difficult to think of the perfect present. Choose your guy’s personality below to see the best gift ideas for your boyfriend:

High-Tech Guy
If your boyfriend loves the latest technology or raves about Microsoft’s newest release, pick out electronics or accessories that you know he’ll love. Pay attention if he mentions any techie products he likes or needs – if his laptop could use a new graphics card or his cell phone screen is broken. This kind of guy always has his eye on new electronics so you should visit stores like Best Buy for discounts on gifts like this Samsung 43” Plasma TV.

Handyman
If your boyfriend is a fix-it kind of guy, he will love an addition to his toolbox. Sears and other home improvement stores have a wide variety of tools to choose from so you can always find something he needs. Try this 21-piece drill bit set from Craftsman and ask him to help you with your next DIY project.

Laid Back Boyfriend
For the cool guy in your life, a suave shaving kit will make him look and feel great. This kit from The Art of Shaving includes shave cream, oil, after-shave, and a smooth brush for the perfect shave.

When he’s looking good, you can hit the town! If he has mentioned a band he wants to see, purchase tickets for the concert. Week-long events like Bonnaroo 2013 have tons of artists for both of you to enjoy.

For the guy who deserves a break, plan a fun vacation for the two of you. Travel websites offer great vacation packages this time of year. Search for the hottest destinations, cruises, and all-inclusive deals to get the most out of your trip.

Young at Heart
For the guy who loves to act like a kid, a new toy is just what he needs! He will love to play with a remote-controlled car or helicopter. The Mini Gyro from Cobra Toys will let him forget about work and feel like a kid again.

If your boyfriend likes to play video games in his free time, pick up the newest Call of Duty or World of Warcraft. These games will make him feel victorious as he defeats the enemy and conquers the world.

Sports Fanatic
If your guy is the ultimate sports fan, he will love nothing more than tickets to an upcoming game. He will enjoy the roar of the crowd and competition of the sport. Buy a pair of tickets to see his favorite football, basketball, or hockey team, and check Ticketmaster or StubHub.com for the best seats available.

If your boyfriend does not fit into one of these categories, you can always buy gift cards that fit his needs. With gift cards to his favorite stores, he will be able to buy presents that he really wants this year.
