How to Purchase Your Boyfriend Birthday Gifts Based on the Season
I've written previously about different strategies to find the perfect birthday present for your boyfriend. The strategies we've talked about include narrowing it down based on the the three basic categories of gifts, your relationship stage, and his personality. Today we're going to talk about another strategy for picking an appropriate present: the time of year.
If you think back over the last year, you'll realize that your wants have changed quite a bit. What you probably haven't realized is that they are often very strongly correlated with your surroundings. Buying the appropriate clothing for the current season is an easy example - but there are many more. Let's get started.
Let's start with spring. Surprisingly, January 1st isn't the most common time of year for us to start a new workout routine. It's second to the spring. When the sun comes out, people gravitate to the garage, the gym or the open road to start getting back in shape for beach season. So what to get him? Why not some new workout gear or a membership to the local gym. Plus you'll get to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Summer: The season of music festivals! From Bonnaroo to Osheaga to Lollapalooza to Burning Man, summer is filled with incredible festivals full of amazing music. If you haven't been, the experience is something that can't quite be captured. Take him on a road trip to see some of your favorite bands and make memories that will last forever.
Next up is fall, the easiest season to shop for. If he's a sports fan, that is. Here's a tid-bit ladies: October is the one time in the entire year when every professional sport is playing simultaneously. Take advantage of it. Buy him some fan accessories to celebrate the upcoming NHL, NBA, or NFL season, or, if he's a baseball kind of guy, some World Series gear. Easy.
Last but not least comes winter. If you live in a snowy climate like me, there's only one thing going through your head from November to March - where is the sun!? Take him on a trip to somewhere warm and make memories along the way. I'm sure you won't mind a couple days of sun either, right?
