Buying for the boyfriend can be tricky, even if you have similar interests it’s difficult to buy them something that won’t just gather dust in the corner of their room.

That’s why it’s sometimes best to get them something they can wear, consume, watch or go to – that way you can’t go too wrong.

Tickets to a gig

So, this is quite a tactical present that you might sometimes have to book a year in advance. If you’re on solid ground and can’t see things going badly wrong over the next six months, get on Ticketmaster and find them a pair of tickets to their favourite artist. Tickets always go down a storm and it leaves the man in your life something to look forward to for however long you have to wait before the big day. The other huge bonus with this present is that you get to go too!

A cosy winter jacket

A puff parka has to be the cosiest winter coat of them all, a man in a puff parka and a bobble hat just feels very classy in winter. Kit your man out with a luxurious jacket from SikSilks. It has a really cosy removable faux fur trim hood that will make you want to zoom away to the North Pole on a romantic break for two.

The chance to be a Hero

Of course we mean a GoPro Hero5, everyone wants one to play with – even people who aren’t daredevils want to have a go, it is a present that goes down a storm whoever the receiver. The latest features from the Hero 5 are waterproofing, voice commands, touch screen technology and video stabilisation. According to IBT this is the biggest update to the camera since its initial release so it’s a good time to get involved if you aren’t already.

A day wine tasting

If the boyfriend is into wine, then why not take their passion a bit further and take them on a wine tasting day? It’s a day out to look forward to and you both might end up finding out loads about wine that you can tell all of your friends – who doesn’t like finding out new things? You could combine the wine tasting with a meal for two or focus purely on wine – it’s up to you but Virgin experience days offer a variety to choose from.

The beauty of sound

We’re lucky these days that there are so many incredible headphones on the market and with so much great new music being released they are more popular than ever. Spotify and Apple Music mean that practically any record is accessible wherever you are in the world as long as you have a connection. Maximise the listening experience with some Oppo PM-3 over-ear headphones; voted by Tech Radar as the best on the market in 2016, they are sure to go down well.
