Try one of these ideas from our boyfriend gift guide that is sure to impress the pickiest of men. Though it's traditionally men who struggle with finding the perfect gift for their wives and girlfriends, many a woman finds herself scratching her head come birthday or holiday gift-giving time. Finding the perfect gift for him isn't always as easy as buying a sweater, making dinner reservations at his favorite restaurant or going out for a night of dancing. Keep in mind the cardinal rule of shopping for boyfriends: personalize, personalize, personalize.

Gifts for Him: Sports Fans
If the man in your life is into sports, don't just get him an issue of Sports Illustrated and be done with it. Does he like the Washington Redskins, the New York Giants or the Carolina Panthers? Who's his favorite player? A jersey of a favorite player or a favorite team is a great boyfriend gift. Make it even better with tickets to a game, too. Many women avoid giving sports-related birthday or holiday gifts if they aren't sports fans themselves. Part of the gift is the time spent together and the effort made; go to the game, ask questions, be interested and read up on the team before you go. Remember that the day is about the birthday boy.

Some sports fans prefer to watch games at home, though. In this case, ask yourself if he's interested in sports collectibles. Many women never think about purchasing a football autographed by a favorite player or framed photographs from Super Bowls. Head to a sports memorabilia store and buy framed baseball cards. Not only are these items an investment, but sports fans will also love the thought that went into their present.

Gifts for Him: Tech Lovers
No boyfriend gift guide would be complete without considering the boyfriend interested in all things technology. Does he spend hours researching the latest in iPhone apps or the newest digital camera? Is it time for him to upgrade his laptop? Would he rather watch a movie on Blu-Ray than any other way? Listen closely as he talks about the gadgets he has and the gadgets he wants, and splurge a bit on a gift for him that will surprise and amaze him with its thoughtfulness and consideration. A PlayStation 3 makes the best Blu-Ray player, and a video-game lover has probably been coveting one anyway. Hunt one down for the perfect boyfriend--he's sure to appreciate it. If you can’t afford the top-line gadget, you could get him an accessory or the latest video game, or you can pick up a gift certificate to his favorite tech store.
