Birthday Ideas for Boyfriends That Love Sports
- Purchase tickets to a home game for his favorite team. Coveted tickets to a game with a heated rival will require advanced planning, but your boyfriend will know you went the extra mile for him. Plan the whole day so your boyfriend can fully enjoy the event. Pack a tailgating picnic with his favorite food and beverages for pregame action in the parking lot at the stadium. After the game, take him to a restaurant or pub of his choice so he can celebrate his team's victory or wallow in the disappointment of a tough loss.
- If your boyfriend prefers celebrating his birthday with a big group of friends, arrange for a night out at his favorite sports bar when his team is playing. Surprise him by saying you're taking him out, but keep the invited guests a secret. Depending on your budget, invited friends can pay their own tabs or call ahead to ask if you can arrange a drink special for a large group of people. Bring a cake to celebrate.
- If your have a small budget, choose a gift that will keep on giving throughout the year. If he likes to read, order a subscription or two to his favorite sports magazines. If he is more interested in TV, check with your local cable company to see what types of sports packages they offer. Most cable companies have various packages for professional and college sports. For a video game lover, pick up the newest version of his game of choice.
- A new flat screen television may be the ultimate gift for a sports fan. While it requires a bigger budget, it is a gift both of you can enjoy. Since investing in a TV is a big decision, it may be best to choose it together. High definition is a must for sports viewing and a good surround sound system will make watching any show or game feel like a movie theater. Surprise him by making an unplanned stop at an electronics store and asking which televisions he likes. It will be a birthday he won't forget.
