The first gift in the list will surely be enjoyed by anyone who has a bit of space and likes to watch their movies, or game, on a big screen (spoiler: everyone does). This projector is HD-ready with built-in speakers, and can be linked up a wide range of multimedia devices including smartphones, laptops, and even their PS4 or Xbox. 

Furthermore, thanks to 1 kg weight and compact size, it's completely portable, so it could even come in handy for business meetings or holidays. It may not be the most romantic gift, but it sure is cool!

Guaranteed to look good on any wall they grace, these personalised soundwave prints are a perfect gift for those that love their music. Simply select the size you want, then supply the company with the name of the song and artist. 

Though it's an affordable and fun gift, you could even add a touch of romance by selecting your 'couple' song or another record from the soundtrack of their lives. The only dispute is that they'll need to pick up a frame as it doesn't come with one. 

Asics have been in the running game for a long time, and they're still producing some of the best shoes available. If your partner is a keen runner he'll surely appreciate these. And even if he's just getting started, at least he'll never have to complain about those worn out ones he's been wearing. 

With synthetic upper material and silky fabric on the heel cushion, these shoes are all about comfort, and their simple colourway should appeal to most tastes. OK, they're a little pricier than some running shoes, but doesn't love know no bounds? 

The world is slowly moving to wireless, whether we like it or not. But, one place that hasn't quite caught up yet are the airlines, and that doesn't look to be changing any time soon. If your partner is a frequent traveller that loves a bit of tech then this nifty adapter could be right up their street. 

Essentially, the adapter allows for Bluetooth headphones to be used in conjunction with in-flight entertainment. This saves them having to use the cheap headphones provided onboard, or changing them depending on whether they want to listen to on their trip. The Bluetooth headphones are not included, though that could be a nice add-on gift! 

Rotary have been in the watch game for a long time, since 1895 in fact, so they sure know a thing or two about making precious timepieces. This Monaco Chronograph is one of those. With its dynamic style, this watch is perfect for a multitude of occasions, and can even be worn whilst swimming. 

The stainless steel strap encloses a sunray dial and presents a clean and classic silhouette, making it a smart finish to any outfit, and indeed, for boyfriends of any age. Just be sure they like a silver-toned finish, and you should be on to a winner. 

While this may be a rather specific gift, if you're dating an avid cyclist it's fair to say this could become an indispensable part of their kit. This gadget does exactly what it promises to do, and will undoubtedly get your partner out of a squeeze or two over the years. 

The travelling tool kit has everything from screwdrivers to puncture repair patches and is crafted from durable steel. For how handy it is, you might even be able to get him to do some of the small jobs around the house with it.

This body of work blends all the best elements of crime novels: dirty police work, political corruption, scandal and some truly fascinating characters and is sure to have your fella 100% hooked. 

Even if he's convinced he's seen all the best ones, we guarantee that this poster will prove otherwise. This is a sort of holy grail or bucket list for movie buffs, and is a gift that will keep on giving long after he has opened it, whether your relationship is fresh or long-standing. 

Plus, once he has worked his way through it, he can frame the simple and elegant design of the poster, hang it on the wall, and proudly exclaim that he truly has seen them all now. Don't worry, we're pretty sure there is another poster list to keep him occupied next year!
