When we are searching for presents to give to that special someone, we always want to get them something that they are really going to love.

The old saying, “it’s the thought that counts” still holds true, but we want that person to also really appreciate the actual item. We want to make sure that when we make that purchase, we are choosing gifts that don’t get boring. We want that special someone to love it when they open it and for days, weeks or months after they received it. We want that gift to be something they get the maximum enjoyment out of. That can be a difficult task to follow through on and that is why we’ve brought you the top ten gifts that don’t get boring.

10. Gourmet Hot Chocolate

Not only is gourmet hot chocolate not boring, it is something you can give again and again and it won’t ever get boring — and it won’t break the bank, either. Amazing gifts don’t need to be expensive. There are so many different flavors to choose from that you can give the chocolate lover in your life a new selection for every holiday and they will thank you vociferously every time.

9. Cookbook

When you choose a cookbook as a gift, you are making sure that it won’t get boring because the recipient can get so much use out of the item – literally a lifetime! You should obviously only give this gift to someone who really enjoys cooking so if there is someone in your life who enjoys spending time in the kitchen, this will be a welcome addition to their library.

8. Movie theater gift certificate

A movie theater gift certificate or certificates will keep the person you gave the present to as happy as a clam. This will allow that special someone to choose how they want to use the certificate and where they want to use it. Having that much choice is always a good thing when it comes to keeping someone interested.

7. Nintendo 3DS

Video gaming is only getting more popular the farther we move into the 21st century. Having something like a Nintendo 3DS means that the recipient can take their gift with them wherever they go — or just sit and play at home. There are plenty of games to fight boredom off and there are plenty of things, like watching Netflix or making homemade videos, that people can do with the device outside of gaming.

6. Sporting events tickets

If you have a sports fan in your life, then tickets to the big game are always going to be a big hit. The bigger the event, the less chance you have of someone thinking that your gift idea is somehow boring.

5. Digital Camera

Whether you have a professional photographer, or just a photo buff in your life, you cannot really go wrong with a nice digital camera as a gift that can’t be dull.

4. Xbox One

If you really have a video game buff on your hands you can always go with the newest and best video game system around. The Xbox One is a great gift because when your recipient does get bored of gaming, they can watch TV using the console.

3. iPad

The iPad is one of those gifts that simply won’t ever become dull because there are so many things that can be done with the top-of-the-line tablet. Even people who do not consider themselves techies will fall in love with this device, and use it for years.

2. A Cruise

Sending someone on a trip is something that is going to take quite a bit of means, but if you can afford to get them on a cruise, they will never be bored. By going with a cruise, they will get the ability to go somewhere they’ve never been, see a ton of scenery while getting there, meet new people, eat and drink well and enjoy a vacation. Boring, not!

1. A Car

Getting someone a car as a gift obviously shows that you have some means. If you can financially swing it, there is no gift that is less boring than getting someone who could use it, a car. This doesn’t even have to be a top of the line in order to be a great present.
