PERFECT PREPPY GIFTS FOR BOYFRIENDS
Monogrammed Travel Cigar Case
I got these cigar cases as graduation gifts for all the guys in my high school friend group, and it is safe to say it was a hit.
This is an excellent functional, affordable gift for preppy boyfriends who enjoy smoking cigars.
The option I have linked through the button below is only $24. Etsy and Amazon also have plenty of other options in varying price ranges.
SMATHERS & BRANSON NEEDLEPOINT KEY FOB
I am obsessed with these. They're the perfect preppy gift and come in many different colors and styles. All the boys I know have one, so it is definitely boy-approved!
This makes a great gift that is genuinely functional and affordable. Additionally, it is very durable. I recommend a darker color/design since it is a key fob that will get thrown around with their keys a lot.
I gave my boyfriend one with our college logo; he loves it! It's still in excellent condition.
MARK & GRAHAM TRAVEL WATCH ROLL
Another functional option that makes it one of the most simple and practical gifts for boyfriends. Most boys have a watch of some kind, no matter how nice it is, and if not, they will one day so it is timeless and valuable.
Monogrammed Leather Catchall Tray
Practical, durable, customized, and simple.
What more could you ask for in a gift for your boyfriend? This combination ensures it will be something they will use because of the pure practicality of it.
And what boys room can't use just a little bit more decor 🙂
Smathers & Branson needlepoint cup koozie
This is another timeless piece. If they take care of it, this Koozie can last them years simply because this is a great brand that makes their products to last.
I've never entirely understood it, but most boys I know religiously use a koozie for their drinks. If your boyfriend or friends are anything like mine, they would use one of these constantly.
These koozies come in so many different needlepoint styles, so you can definitely find something your preppy boyfriend would like.
MONOGRAMMED LEATHER DOPP KIT/MEN'S TOILETRY KIT
This leather dopp kit is a great, affordable option. I love that it is customizable, so you can add a monogram or name to make it even more personalized.
Etsy and Amazon have numerous options, but you can shop the one I have linked through the button below for only $35.
Again, it is practical and will last them years.
Custom monogram cuff links
A wonderful option for men in pursuit of a desk job or currently in an office job.
A timeless, classic, thoughtful, and unique gift, a pair of these is unlikely to be already owned by your boyfriend, especially if you haven't seen them yet.
If you can't tell I think almost anything with a monogram is a perfect gift 🙂
Johnnie-O Mens Quarter-zip Pullover
This pullover is absolutely adorable. Honestly, I adore any quarter-zip pullover on a man because it looks so put together and mature yet also relaxed.
Peter Millar also makes wonderful pullovers. I bought one of these for my boyfriend, and he loves it! However, the one I have linked below is Johnnie-O, just because I think it is adorable and is on my next-to-buy list for my boyfriend.
Ralph Lauren Mens Baseball cap
It's a perfect staple for any preppy boyfriend. First of all, what man doesn't like a hat? Second of all, it is Ralph Lauren, so it must be cute, right?
No, seriously, I love this hat. I think it's a classy, put-together way to wear a baseball cap. As a plus, it's perfect for any boyfriend who likes to golf!
As a little bonus to your gift guide today, I want to share one of my favorite ways to give gifts...the five senses gift! You get five gifts: taste, touch, sight, hear, smell. How cute! Consider doing this for someone you love this Christmas and remember it doesn't have to be expensive 🙂
I bet you've found at least one thing that you know your preppy boyfirends will love! I hope this article helped you Christmas shop with ease. If you found this gift guide helpful be sure to check out last week's article to find 20+ Genius Stocking Stuffers for College Students.
