For husbands who have everything

Coronado Kayaking Tour 

Experiences make great gifts for the boyfriend or husband who has everything. Think about it—rather than giving him another thing he doesn’t need, you’re giving him a memorable new experience. You can even pick an activity for the two of you to enjoy together. We’ve loads to choose from, but for our top fifteen, we’ve gone for this kayak tour in San Diego. Explore the sights and skyscrapers along San Diego Bay and paddle beneath the Coronado Bridge—a unique urban kayaking adventure for two!

For a new boyfriend / new relationship / just started dating

A Food Tour 

Okay, you’ve not been together long, so it’s probably a bit early for grand gestures. Still, you want to find something your boyfriend will like—something that’s as fun and exciting as your new relationship. We think food tours are a great date night idea, and we’ve a huge range available in cities across the country. Treat him to a culinary adventure in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and many more!

Ideal gift for a difficult, picky husband who doesn’t want anything
