December 15, 2018 WHAT SHOULD I GET A GUY FOR CHRISTMAS?! Yo Brandon, I’M CONFUSED ABOUT BOYS!!!! I don’t know what to give my guy friends for Christmas. They like a lot of different stuff. Plus, They’re super nice and always giving me stuff I like, so I really want to return the favor. And I don’t want to ask them because I want it to be a surprise. HELP!! I Wanna Be A Great Gift Giver Hey I Wanna Be A Great Gift Giver, Aw, I love this letter! 🙂 Your guy friends sound awesome and it’s cool that you want to give them the perfect present. Obviously, I don’t know you or your friends, so my advice is going to be kind of general, but hopefully that way it can help some other readers, too. In your case, though, it’s kind of great that those guys like different stuff. If they were the kind of guys who are only into baseball or whatever, you’d be limited in what you could get them. But if they like a lot of things, the options are endless! Here are some categories with lots of options, depending on your budget: ELECTRONICS: I’m going to assume you’re not rolling in dough and able to get them the latest iPhone or whatever. But there are plenty of smaller gadgets that are fun, like new earbuds, a new phone case, etc. Something I have on my Christmas list is a winter hat with built in Bluetooth speakers. I’ve seen them online for $20 and under. BATH AND BODY STUFF: Guys like this stuff too, but don’t always go out of their way to buy it for themselves. Some nice body wash, body spray, etc. Somewhere like Sephora, Walgreens, Bath And Body Works or even Target will have sets that are “for men” which mostly just means they’re not super flowery scents. AN EXPERIENCE: Is there something you and your guy friends like to do together? Maybe something all of you haven’t done in a long time? Maybe you could get them gift cards to their favorite hangout spots, like a movie theater, laser tag place or video arcade. And the best part is all of you can hang out there together. GAMES: Not just video games, either. Those can be pricey. But there are some seriously cool card and board games out there. And as a bonus, those can be something you play together. JOURNAL: Keeping a diary isn’t only for my friend, Nikki. Even if your guy friends aren’t into writing down all their thoughts and dreams, a cool journal could have lots of uses. They could use it to keep track of school assignments, sports scores, write song lyrics, and more. You could even start them off with a special note on the first page. SUPER-FAN STUFF: I know you said they’re into lots of stuff, but is there something they really LOVE? Like Wreck It Ralph? Aquaman or Spiderman? Some video game or computer game? There are all kinds of fun, small, super-fan-related items you can find online, like key chains, bumper stickers, mugs, and stuff like that. FOOD: One thing I know for sure—all boys love FOOOOD. You could bake them something like cookies or brownies. Another idea would be to get them a gift card to their favorite places to eat. I hope that helps. I’m sure you know this, but it’s not WHAT you get your guy friends that will make it awesome. It’s the thought that counts. What are some great gift ideas for your friends and family? Tell us in the comments, and make sure they’re not peeking!
Spicy says January 5, 2019 at 9:59 am Those are awesome! Anything fortnight, a lot of boys like that( and some girls, too.)
I Love Christmas says January 4, 2019 at 6:26 pm Get science experiments, which are always fun. If your friend is under 7 years old, you could get him toys for younger kids, but if he’s 8 or older, he might enjoy big-kid toys. Also, there are great toys that both boys and girls love, such as science or engineering kits, books (choose according to age!), and little robots. About the little robots: There is a coding robot called an Ozobot. I got one for Christmas, and it’s fun.
i hate nikki shes a diva says January 3, 2019 at 7:42 pm Omg when i used too have a crush on this boy, i was turning back and forth about what to give him too! Btw i dont like him anymore cuz he’s better off with this other girl….. #heartbroken:( anyway ya!
CCP princess says January 3, 2019 at 3:39 pm That pretty interesting Brandon, if I were her or him I would not know what to buy them either
Le Dork says January 3, 2019 at 12:39 pm I love food too. Especially blueberries! I heard somewhere that they’re brain food!!
Smarty_Party says January 2, 2019 at 9:56 pm dude that was a pretty good list. But my ladies, lemme give u some advice: If you want something SUPER inexpensive buy a bulk deal of candy and give portions out to all ur guy friends. Unless they can’t eat candy, u can’t go wrong!
dorkalicious says January 2, 2019 at 4:50 pm Hi thanks brandon because I never know what to get a boy and I never know what to get when I go to the store.Also I never ever want to ask.

AGirl says December 29, 2018 at 6:18 pm Brand, thanks for the idea of cooking something for my guy friend- sorta, i just hope i don’t burn the house down in the process
Definitely NOT a Chef says December 31, 2018 at 9:24 am Amen to that sista. My moms basically banned me from the kitchen so that option kinda cancelled itself out. =|
Anonymous says December 29, 2018 at 11:52 am Jemmica LOL Actually you could be creative you could make him something by your own and am sure he’ll like what you made because you made it by yourself Good luck
Lukelet! says December 29, 2018 at 11:23 am I don’t really have any guy friends, but I usually do something for my brother that’s more special to him. This year I’m taking him on a shopping trip to any toy store of his choice, and getting him something for $20 or less. He likes this bc he can get what he wants, AND I don’t have to worry about him not liking what I got him.
I am CoNfUsIoN says December 29, 2018 at 10:52 am I know it is always soooo hard to shop for my boy cousins I have the same problem
