Christmas is a few weeks away. Because of this, I thought it would be helpful to make a guide of thoughtful gifts for boyfriends and girlfriends (AKA the hardest people to shop for, ever).

All of these items can be personalized to fit your other half. Not to mention they will love almost any of these gifts and the time/thought you put into getting them!

Also, in case you missed them, see our other CF gift guides, including Christmas gifts for all significant others, Christmas gifts for boyfriend, personalized gift ideas for your bestie, gift ideas for parents, and zodiac gifts based on astrological signs.

Here are our favorite thoughtful gifts for your boyfriend or girlfriend.

If you’re both in college, it’s likely that you’re at least a little ways from home. Even if you’re close by, it’s always nice to have reminders of home. There are a number of gifts you can give your boyfriend or girlfriend if they’re feeling homesick.

One of the coolest ideas I saw when researching for this post was a homesick candle that’s supposed to smell like a location. The Homesick Amazon store carries candles for all 50 states, a number of large cities and other countries. These candles are a little more on the expensive side, but they’re also really personal.

There are also a lot of items on Etsy that reflect a certain location. I thought these map glasses were really interesting.
