The sentimental gift

What you'll need:

Fujifilm Mini Link Smartphone, $99

Instax Mini Photo Album, $6

You can always get your beau a framed photo of the two of you, but why not go a step further and get a mini photo album? Fill it with your best moments. You can print the photos that you select instant camera style with this Fujifilm Mini Link Smartphone. It will give your pics that vintage polaroid camera effect, sans the polaroid camera. Use this super cute mini photo album from Urban Outfitters, designed specially to house your new polaroid pictures. Your boyfriend will be flooded with memories of both of you and an overwhelming feeling of happiness is sure to follow.

The edible gift

What you'll need:

Rainbow And Butterflies Bouquet, $49

They do say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Get your love a gift card to his favorite restaurant, or a DoorDash gift card if he would rather stay in. Take things a step even further and get him a cute and tasty Edible Arrangement with chocolate and fruit. This amaze Rainbow And Butterflies Bouquet looks delish!

The useful/practical gift

What you'll need:

Gray Silicon Wallet, $5

Custom Phone Cases, $29

Get him this phone case wallet from CASELY to stick to his phone so he can store his debit card and student ID with ease. Even better, get him a customized phone case to protect his phone. Select the "tough" option for more protection and then choose your favorite flick of you and your love bug for the case image. Have him remember your special bond every time he goes to pick up his phone. Not only will he feel loved, but his phone will be protected from scratches and wear. You can get the *cutest* custom protective phone cases from collage.com.

The cheesy-but-stylish gift

What you'll need:

Peanut Butter & Jelly - Couple Hoodies, $44

Get your boyfriend something that connects you two. Whether it's a matching couples hoodie, or matching bracelets, he will definitely appreciate your sentimental gift presented with a dash of style. If you're not sure of your boyfriend's size and don't want to ruin the surprise, or you're simply not sure if he would wear a specific item, you can't go wrong with the gift card route. Score him a gift card to his favorite shopping outlet. Forever 21 and H&M are not out of the question.
