How to buy presents for someone who wants nothing

Gifting a boyfriend who’s made it clear that he wants nothing can prove challenging, especially if you don’t know whether he’s bluffing or just cueing you to be creative. Either way, he’s your boyfriend, and you’ll therefore need to come up with something sweet.

Below are tips to consider when gifting a boyfriend who doesn’t want anything.

Consider his interests. The whole idea of gifting a loved one is to get him something that he fancies or loves. As much as he might be against being gifted, getting him something of interest might help make the gift worth it.

Think outside the box. Perhaps your boyfriend doesn’t want to stress you out, but deep down, he wants something. As the girlfriend, it’s your responsibility to find out if he’s bluffing or actually serious. If bluffing, assure him that getting him a gift isn’t much of a big deal and that you’ll get him something simple that you can afford.

Expensive gifts can work but also fail. Buying him that expensive chain, watch, or laptop might not work out as expected. At times, men just want simple gifts that show you cared enough to know their personal interests.

Don’t buy too many gifts. It’s better to buy one gift than ten as more gifts tend to reduce the value of the gifts. After all, it’s the thought that counts, so focus more on getting that good, thoughtful gift as opposed to breaking the bank with several gifts.

Talk to his best friend. This tip is especially useful for boyfriends and girlfriends who don’t know much about each other. Take your time to consult with close friends to know what gifts your boyfriend might fancy. Don’t worry, soon enough it’s the friends who’ll be asking you to inquire about good gifts to get your boyfriend.

Conclusion

Now that we’ve mentioned some of the best gifts to get a boyfriend who doesn’t want anything, you should be well placed to get a gift that suits his preferences. Liked our list? Then feel free to share with your girlfriends to help them out as well.
