National Boyfriend's Day is a special day to celebrate that special person in your life who brings you love, joy and of course support. Doesn't matter if you guys are in a serious relationship or just getting starting, this is a great opportunity to show your appreciation for the special guy in your life.

National Boyfriend’s Day Gifts He Will Love

Tell him how much you love him

This might seem obvious, but it’s worth repeating because guys love to hear it. And when you tell them how much you love them and what makes them special and unique, they feel like a million bucks!

Write a poem for him

You know what's better than a card or flowers? A poem. Poems are the best kind of gift, because they're timeless and can last forever. Plus, you can use them in many different ways:

• If he has to work late, leave him a funny poem on his desk so he knows everyone is thinking of him.
• If he's feeling down, write him an uplifting poem that will give him hope for the future.
• If you want to tell him how much you appreciate how hard he works for your relationship (and if you're feeling particularly poetic), leave a love note on top of his laptop that says "I love this man more than anything else." It will make his day!

Buy tickets to his favorite sporting event

If you are trying to score points with your boyfriend, this is probably one of the most effective options. You can buy him tickets to a basketball game or baseball game, or whatever he likes.

Get dressed up for him

You can show him how much you love him by wearing something sexy that he's never seen before. Trust me, he will love it!

Take him somewhere special

The last thing you want on this day is for your boyfriend to feel like he's just another day in the relationship, so take him somewhere special as a way of showing him how much you appreciate his presence in your life. Maybe it's a trip to an amusement park or maybe it's something more intimate like taking him out for dinner and spending time at home together afterward. If you're looking for something outdoorsy, consider going hiking or camping with your boyfriend and taking advantage of the beautiful weather while it lasts.

Give him a massage

I hope you're not thinking, "Nah, I'd rather get myself one," because you love him and want to make him feel good. Massages are also super helpful in relieving stress, which can help keep your relationship healthy.

Send him flowers at work

Nothing says, "I love you," like a bouquet of roses with a card that says, "You're my flower." It's sweet and simple, and it'll make him smile all day long.

Backyard barbecue

It’s the perfect day to have a backyard barbecue. It doesn't matter if you live in an apartment, you can still throw on some sweats and have this experience. If you have the space, fire up the grill and invite your boyfriend over (he'll be thrilled).

If you don't have land to call your own, then venture out onto public property—you know, parks and such. But be warned: certain cities/towns will not allow open-flame grilling on their property! In these cases, consider taking advantage of a restaurant that has outdoor seating or even just grabbing some takeout from somewhere close by.

Golf day

If you're looking for a fun way to celebrate National Boyfriend Day, golfing is the perfect option! It's not just a sport—it's an experience. Your boyfriend will love spending time with you on the green, getting in some quality time together while enjoying this relaxing activity. And if he doesn't know how to play golf? Don't worry—you can always teach him!

If there are no public courses near your location and you don't have access to private club memberships, then instead of hitting up the driving range or miniature course, try taking him out for a round or two at an indoor mini-golf course. You'll both be able to enjoy some fresh air and exercise in between rounds of putting and chipping away at imaginary windmills.

Camping trip

There’s no better way to spend the day than with your man by your side, exploring the great outdoors. A camping trip is perfect for that special someone in your life: it gives you the chance to bond in the fresh air and under a blanket of stars while enjoying all that nature has to offer in terms of wildlife and scenery.

Take a hike together

This is the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your boyfriend, so why not go on a nice hike? If you're feeling confident, climb up to the top of a mountain and watch the sunset together. If that seems too difficult for you, try taking a walk around some local trails instead. Even if you don't have much experience hiking, there are plenty of places that offer easy walks along beautiful scenery.

Game night

Take on a new challenge with a game night. If you don't have any games, there are plenty of options online. You can play board games like Monopoly or chess. If you want something more casual and contemporary, there's always Cards Against Humanity. Just make sure your boyfriend knows how to play!

Host a pool party

For the more adventurous, you can host a pool party. While this may seem like a silly idea, it will be a great opportunity to spend time with your boyfriend while having fun in the sun!

Bake him cookies

You always hear about how guys like to eat and how they need their "man food." So, why not make him something sweet? Cookies are easy to make and fun to eat. Plus, he'll probably appreciate that you went through the effort for him instead of just ordering takeout or a pizza delivery service. It's an affordable way of showing your love for him!

Make him a card

Making a card for your boyfriend on National Boyfriend Day is a sweet and personal way to show him how much you care, not to mention super cheap! It's a thoughtful gesture that will make him feel loved and appreciated. Don't assume that just because he's a man he won't appreciate something as "cheesy" as this. I can assure you he will love it. It feels good to receive something that someone took the time to create, especially when it comes from the heart (doesn't matter how much or little it costs). You could make the card yourself, or you could use a card-making kit to make it even more special. You could also include a heartfelt message or a funny joke that will make him smile. Whatever you decide to do, it will be a nice way to show your boyfriend how much he means to you.

Buy him a gift certificate for something he likes doing

Although initially this may come across as overly simplistic, buying your boyfriend a gift certificate for National Boyfriend Day is a great idea! It allows him to choose something he really wants or needs and it shows that you put thought into his likes and interests. Whether it's for his favorite store, a spa day, or a special activity, it will give him the chance to indulge in something he loves. 

Give him a foot rub

If you're looking for a way to show your man you love him, then giving him a foot rub is the way to do it. Believe it or not, a lot of men love getting their feet rubbed, especially if it's followed by an ankle massage! Your boyfriend will feel so special and loved by you if he has his feet massaged by, you, his girlfriend.

Take him to a drive-in movie

This is a classic way to show your sweetheart that you care. The drive-in provides privacy and space for the two of you, which will allow you to make that romantic connection with your boyfriend in peace. It also allows for uninterrupted conversation and amazing connection.

Get a manicure and pedicure together

It's a perfect day for you and your sweetheart to get pampered together, whether you're going to the salon or doing it yourself at home.

And even if he doesn't consider himself much of a beauty-lover, it's worth mentioning that most men have never gone to a nail salon before, so he'll probably be tickled pink by your offer.

Go for a walk

Taking a walk in nature is a great way to unwind and get some fresh air. It's also a great opportunity to have a conversation and connect on a deeper level. Plus, it's a nice way to stay active and healthy. Make sure to pick a beautiful location and take plenty of pictures to remember the moment. This of course assuming that pictures don't drive him crazy. Remember, it's his day! 

Do some yoga together

It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When you're in a relationship, it's important to find ways to slow down and relax.

If you've never done yoga before, don't worry! This isn't a complicated activity that requires you to wear special clothing or shoes. Just grab your boyfriend by the hand and go for it! For instructions simply log on to YouTube and type in "Couples yoga for beginners".

Play video games together

This is a fun and unique way to celebrate National Boyfriend Day! Playing video games with your boyfriend is a great way to bond, relax and have a good time. If it's not something you normally do he will be extra surprised and extra appreciative. However, even if you do join him occasionally, it's always cool to have your ride-or-die girl by your side while you take down virtual bad guys. It's a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together and enjoy each other's company. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a newbie, it's always fun to play together and challenge each other. Make sure to pick his favorite game and surprise him with some snacks or drinks while you play.

Read a book aloud together

Reading is a great way to spend time together. It can be as simple as reading the same book, or you can try your hand at reading aloud to each other. If you don't have much time, there are plenty of short books available online.

If you do want to read a longer book, consider picking up an audiobook version that's narrated by different people and see how it feels!

Volunteer together

You would be surprised at the sheer number of volunteer opportunities available to the public in most cities. This is a great way to bond, and problem solve with that special someone. The experience will give you both a chance to learn much more about one another and grow even closer. 

Play cards, dice or board games together

The best way to celebrate your boyfriend is by spending time with him, and what better way to do that than playing games? You can play card games like UNO or poker, or board games like chess and monopoly. If you're feeling really adventurous, you can even play a game of dice!

Buy something related to his favorite hobby

Buying your boyfriend something in support of his hobby is going to win you cool points for days. It shows that you pay attention to his interests and care about what he likes to do. Whether it's a new piece of equipment, a book on a topic related to his hobby, or a subscription to a magazine, it will be a gift he will appreciate and enjoy. It will also give him the opportunity to explore his hobby more and improve his skills. 

Wake up early and prepare breakfast

Wake up early and prepare an early breakfast for your boyfriend. This simple yet impactful gesture will go a long way, especially if you make him his absolute favorite breakfast meal! Take the opportunity to score some early morning points that will no doubt last far beyond National Boyfriend's Day. 

Take him to his favorite restaurant

Not this sounds like a great idea! Treating your boyfriend to his favorite restaurant is a thoughtful and romantic way to show him how much you care. He will appreciate the effort put into it and also not having to foot the bill. ;) It's always nice to indulge in a delicious meal and enjoy good company. Plus, it's always fun to try new things and explore new flavors. Make sure to make reservations in advance and maybe even surprise him with a special dessert or cocktail. It will be a perfect way to celebrate National Boyfriend's Day!

Have a picnic by the beach or park

If you're looking for a great way to spend together on his special day, having a picnic by the beach is one of the most romantic things you can do. It's also pretty cheap! You and your boyfriend can go to any park or neighborhood beach and bring along whatever food you want. If it's still cold out, take blankets so that you don't get too chilly while eating outside. Even if it's warmer than normal outside, blankets are still good in case someone feels like resting on their backs and watching the clouds pass by.

Watch his favorite movie together

The perfect way to celebrate is by watching his favorite movie together. This can be a great bonding experience and you’ll have a new appreciation for it afterwards! If you don't know what his favorite movie is then you should definitely find out!

Give him a massage to release the stress away from his body after a long day of work

You can never go wrong with a nice massage, and don’t be afraid to pull out all the stops. This can include massage oils, hand tools, nice music and if you’re really creative a bowl of grapes neatly set next to the table. 

Cook his favorite meal and treat him like a King for a day

• Ask him what he wants to do on this special day, even if it’s just staying in bed all day watching Netflix with you on his lap, that would be great!
• Buy him something nice; maybe a new shirt or tie will make him feel extra special.
• You could take the time to write down all the reasons why you love and appreciate him because he deserves it!

Binge his favorite show

If you're the kind of couple who loves to spend hours watching Netflix together, this is the perfect way to celebrate National Boyfriend Day. Pick out one of his favorite movies or shows and get cozy on the couch with snacks and drinks available. It's best if you have a comfortable place to sit so that both of you can relax during your movie marathon without having any trouble. Make sure that all necessary equipment is ready and working correctly, too—this includes making sure there's enough time before hand so that everything has plenty of power left in its battery when it comes time to watch!
