Are you ready for that one special day when you can really demonstrate what you think of one of the most significant people in your life?
Do you know about the best opportunity to show what are your true feelings for your boyfriend?
National Boyfriend Day has become a major date in the international calendar – it’s the day of the year to really celebrate the man in your life.
Did you remember the date? October 3 is the best day of the year to make a fuss about the sweetheart or loved one in your romantic world.
Don’t be the one who forgets all about it! And don’t get it all wrong…
Some will use it to remind a long-established partner that he is still special – while others use it to show their feelings for a new romance.
It’s important not to ignore it – your boyfriend may not say anything but his friends are almost certain to ask what he got on National Boyfriend Day. Imagine what he’ll think if he gets nothing at all on October 3.
What could you gift your special partner?
So make him feel special and proud by thinking a little about what would really work that day.
For example, what could be sweeter than showering a new boyfriend with bottles of his favourite beer or tickets to see the latest movie? Boys are less likely to be delighted with flowers and chocolate, you may have to do a bit more thinking than that.
Of course, this annual romantic event can simply mean giving a gift or special treat at the start of the day – or it can involve a whole day (and night!) of special joint activities. What you do on National Boyfriend Day is completely up to you…
But try not to just think of the same old predictable gifts for the next Boyfriend Day. Try to show you’ve really thought about what to give.
Beware that the same-old after-shave, vouchers and socks may not make as much of an impression on him as you hope for. The whole day will work much better if you think of something that will show him that you’ve spent a bit of time thinking about what he may like.
So if you really want to touch his heartstrings, try finding something a little more exciting and contemporary to show that you really care.
What does your partner like?
Listen to the things he talks about and think which of them makes him most excited? Is it about cars, food, clubbing – or just going out with his mates?
How about a smart outfit for poker tournaments so he can enjoy a cool card session with his mates? He won’t be expecting that!
Or what about surprising him with a fabulous romantic meal – that you cooked yourself. A take-away delivery won’t be half as impressive.
And don’t forget the candles on the table and streaming his favourite music in the background at the same time.
Another idea that will make a definite impression on any boyfriend is arranging a great day out. This could be a pre-arranged activity session like a mountain biking session, a heart-stopping bungee-jumping day or even a tandem skydiving session.
Pre-booked days with these sorts of activities are available in lots of locations. There is sure to be something available near you.
It could be something he does alone, something with his pals, or something for the two of you to do together.
But it doesn’t have to be an expensive treat – you could arrange something yourself for very little. Don’t forget the old saying: it’s the thought that counts.
What other activities are there?
So how about getting return train tickets to the nearest seaside for a fun day full of ice cream and paddling?
Or what about driving to the nearest mountain – and seeing who can get furthest up the path to the top? (Tip: let him win!)
Think about the things he really likes doing most. Maybe it could be something to do with sport?
How about a guided tour of his favourite stadium – these are available during the day at most sports venues. Or what about tickets to an up-coming sports event?
Is he into music? Well how about a band T-shirt, some retro vinyl or tickets to a great upcoming gig? Or even a festival.
Or take him clothes shopping, with lots of fun trying-on sessions, before you treat him to one great gift that he will think about every time he wears.
Plan ahead of those special days
Think of National Boyfriend Day like Christmas or birthdays. It’s an important day of the year but there are no rules about what you have to do.
It’s all down to you to think of the thing that will make your boyfriend realise what you think of him.
National Boyfriend Day is a rare chance to really impress the boy in your life – and who knows where that may lead?
