Getting a Christmas gift for your boyfriend can be tricky, regardless of how long you’ve been together. That is why we’ve put together a boyfriend-focused Christmas gift guide, which covers a wide range of boyfriends - from the gamer boyfriend right down to the pragmatic boyfriend.
And if you’re strapped for time, or don’t feel like battling the Christmas crowd in the middle of a pandemic, we’ve got you covered too. The gifts we’ve picked out are all available on Grab, via GrabMart and GrabSupermarket. Psst - you can also find all the Christmas essentials you need on Grab, from dinner feasts to decorations. Rest easy this festive season and use all that time you just saved for yourself instead!
Read on for our Christmas gift guide and see which is the most suitable present for your boyfriend!
#1 For the boyfriend who loves gaming
Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) with White Joy-Con, $549
From: Nintendo Switch Store (delivery fee on GrabMart is only 99cents!)
If your gamer boyfriend doesn’t already own a Nintendo Switch, then chances are, it’s pretty high up on his list. Also, if you’re dying to play the numerous Mario games available, co-op Stardew Valley or even Overcooked, this is a great way to sneakily get him a gift that is also for yourself *wink*.
P.S. Use promo code “GIFTING” for an extra 30% OFF (capped at $10, min. spend of $25)!
#2 For the boyfriend whose family is slightly more atas
Festive Delights Hamper, $150
From: Marks & Spencers
Score extra brownie points by getting something for him and his family, especially if they have slightly more expensive tastes. Marks & Spencer has Christmas hampers ranging from $80 to $500, and our pick for a family of 4 would be this 35kg Festive Delights Hamper, which contains a mix of sweet treats and award-winning wines.
#3 For the boyfriend who has a furbaby
West Paw Design Ruff-N-Tuff Reindeer, $39.90
From: Pet Lovers Centre
Pets are family too, so if your boyfriend has a beloved pooch, don’t forget to get them something as well! How about this reindeer plushie, which his doggo will still be playing with even after Christmas?
#4 For the boyfriend who's been using your skincare
The Body Shop Pamper & Purify Himalayan Charcoal Skincare Gift, $50
From: The Body Shop
So your boyfriend has been conveniently using your face wash and masks, thinking that you wouldn’t notice. This Christmas, get the man his own skincare set from The Body Shop. The Purifying Clay Wash helps to deep cleanse after a long day of work, and the clay mask will give him a healthy, radiant glow. P.S. If he struggles with acne, the konjac sponge is a gentle yet effective way to exfoliate - he can even use it on his back.
Oh by the way, for this festive season, there are selected Grab merchants (such as The Body Shop and LUSH) who are able to gift wrap your items before sending them out. How convenient!
#5 For the boyfriend who loves to host parties
Full House Spirit Christmas Gift Set, $248
From: Blooms: By M
Party venues might still be closed, but he can still gather 5 of his friends for a small get-together. Bring the party to him with this trio of Jack Daniel’s, Johnnie Walker (Black Label) and Chivas Regal (12 years), or if he’s not a hard liquor kinda guy, there’s also beer and soju gift sets.
Getting munchies? Just get some snacks delivered from GrabMart and GrabSupermarket. FYI, there are also party supplies, decor and even games available to help get the party started!
#6 For the boyfriend who is a huge foodie
The Christmas Star Platter, $107.80
From: The Providore
If your boyfriend’s a gourmand, then he’d definitely enjoy this indulgent platter from The Providore. It includes three types of cheese, including a truffle camembert, parma ham, Iberico chorizo salami, pate en croute and an assortment of accompaniments. It’ll look good for the ‘gram too.
#7 For the boyfriend who is super practical
GrabGift Vouchers
“Huh, why waste money on gifts? Don’t need lah.” If this sounds like something your super practical and down-to-earth boyfriend would say, then we’ve got a foolproof solution for you: GrabGifts. You decide how much you want to gift, and for which Grab service (Grab rides, GrabFood, GrabMart or GrabExpress) or selected Grab merchants. The gift card can be customised with a message and used across countries in Southeast Asia where there are Grab services. So that means you can send GrabGifts to your boyfriend (or friend) even if they’re not in Singapore!
Other ways you can use Grab for your Christmas needs
Here are some promo codes for you: use “GIFTING” on GrabMart to get 30% OFF your gifts (capped at $10, min. spend $25) or “FEASTING” to get $10 OFF your festive treats (min. spend $30).
