Tech & Gadget Gifts

What boyfriend wouldn’t want the latest tech gadgets for his 21st birthday?

Nowadays, we depend on technology as a source of entertainment and information (perhaps even too much). Both because it makes our lives much better and easier, and also because everyone wants to stay trendy… and I bet your boyfriend is no different.

That’s why these amazing electronic gifts & gadgets will make a perfect birthday gift for your man.

Did you think he couldn’t possibly love you more than he does now? Think again… once you’ll surprise him with one of these awesome presents, I have a good feeling you’ll score some extra points with him.

GoPro HERO5

Wouldn’t it be nice to cherish his 21st birthday with the latest GoPro model? If you’ve been alive in the past 5-10 years, I probably don’t have to explain how awesome this device does.

Imagine capturing every moment you’ll share together this year in great detail and clarity: your trips, your selfies, and your Friday night outs… and a year from now, on his 22nd birthday, you’ll be sitting together and watch all the wonderful memories you captured on his brand-new GoPro.

Beats Studio Wireless Over-Ear Headphone – Gloss Black

Let’s run a little experiment:

• What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Beats (or Dr. Dre)?
• What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about headphones?

If you’re like most people, the answer to the first question was “headphones”, and the answer to the 2nd question was “Beats by Dr. Dre”. That’s how popular these headphones are.

Dr. Dre’s awesome headphone brand has been consistent in bringing the highest sound quality and premium looks throughout the years. In fact, there’s a good chance your boyfriend already owned a pair.

Home Brew Beer Caddy

Looking for something with a bit more alcoholic “twist” than just a personalized beer mug?

Here’s an idea: get him this home brew beer caddy, engrave it with his own name, and pack this beer caddy with a couple of cold drinks for the two of you to enjoy together (If you’re not 21 yet, then you can drink the water).

Now here’s something he’ll remember and be able to use for many years to come… it will always remind him of his 21st birthday, thanks to his sweet girlfriend’s gesture. It’s definitely a much better experience than just getting wasted in a bar (even there is a certain appeal in that, I get it…)
