Or, buy him a 13 function stainless steel utility knife-great essential for every guy. It’s time to plan a camp and spend a night or two with him on his birthday. Camping with someone can be quite a challenge if you don't know each other that well. Be patient and understanding. You are both learning about each other as well as how to go camping.

3. Something naughty.

Not Homemade Gift for His Birthday

What Do I Get My Boyfriend For His Birthday [inexpensive] But Not Homemade?

This probably depends on what you think your boyfriend might be interested in, but there are recommend a few gift ideas. One of a great gift ideas but not homemade is a set of colognes and aftershaves-can be a good option and you can often find these sold in attractive boxes at pharmacies or other stores for about $15 to $20. Each box may include either three different colognes, or a combination of aftershaves, lotions and eau de toilettes.

If your boyfriend likes to read, buy him a good book. A paperback piece of fiction will usually cost about $10 to $20. If you decide to buy a bestseller, you will pay over $30. That would of course depend on what kind of things your boyfriend likes to do, and enjoys. One thing I find most people enjoy is a magazine or book that is related to something they do or want to know more about. Some very good books can be purchased for less than ten dollars. There are hundreds of different magazines that there is one for almost everyone's tastes. Does you boyfriend like sports, or motor cycles or cars? There are Beckets magazines for every sport. There are magazines for trucks, hot rods and cars. There are magazine on collecting almost anything. Fishing and hunting and wrestling magazines are very popular.

A good DVD may also be an inexpensive but not homemade gift idea. These days you can buy DVDs at fairly low prices. It is very common to find most DVDs (except some new releases) in the $10 range.

You could pay for him to go to a movie with you. Just spend a whole day with your boyfriend; watch movie, buy tickets and enjoy at the theme park; then both of you can go picnic- you could always cook him a meal at home for two. Every man loves that . . . and if you made it for him, he would love it.

Remember most of all, anything you do for him or give him will mean everything to him because it is from you. The cost means so little, it is the love with which the gift is given.
