- If your boyfriend spends hours listening to his favorite band in his earbuds or watching sports on TV, get him out of the house to enjoy them live with tickets. He'll love that you know his interests and want him to enjoy himself. Plus, this gives you two a new date night to plan.

For an offbeat present, try a shaving kit, as "Good Housekeeping" magazine recommends. Although it oozes luxury, it's easy on budgets. If you can't find a ready-made kit, make one by filling a wooden box with face wash, shaving cream and face lotion. - Make him feel like a kid again with a new video game.Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Whether you love beating him at video games or wonder how he spends so many hours hitting those buttons, indulge his hobby with a new video game. He'll appreciate that you recognize and support his interests -- even the ones he pursues with childish enthusiasm. To make the gift even more fun, invite some friends over for a post-birthday video game night. - If your boyfriend prefers spending time outdoors, give him a camping kit. Fill a backpack with a small tent, sleeping bag, water bottle, thermos and lighter. If you can't go camping with him right away, he can take family or friends on an adventure after his birthday is over.

Few things are more reminiscent of childhood fun than a board game. Treat him to a kid favorite -- especially if you know which game he grew up with, but no longer owns -- or find a trickier adult game to master. Your choice depends largely on his personality. If you think he'll have a blast with a silly night in playing board games, find a few oldies and plan a big kids' night together.
