We spoke to men in triple digits and more than 80% of them confessed that they receive really boring gifts on any occasion. “It’s more to do with thoughtlessness than anything else. I think what excites us is usually very expensive, so girls choose something very generic for a gift for men,” said Ritesh, 28, a web developer in a tech company in Gurugram.

While most of them were shy to testify this on the screen, one such maverick agreed to lend his reactions on camera and let us record it. We showed him a bunch of things that girls said they’ve given or wish to gift their boyfriends. Then to spice things up we also included some Bombay Shaving Company gifts for men to see what kind of reactions they got. Here’s the result for you to see.

If you’re a guy reading this, we strongly recommend sending it to your partner, so that they start planning for better gifts.

Start your new gifting journey with Bombay Shaving Company with some of the favourites that men said would make for their wishlist.

Full Body Trimmer - with 5 magnetic attachments for multi grooming

“It’s a super awesome gift. Looks premium, and I can actually use it. If she wants to gift me something I would remember her by, I think this is it.”
– Abhijit, 23, social media intern.

Premium Perfume Kit - a set of 4 fragrances for men

“You can’t go wrong with a perfume, unless it’s really bad. But if it’s a trusted brand, even that doubt is not there. I would love to receive it.”
– Rehaan, 25, banker.

Premium Shaving Kit with personalised message on the razor

“I shave at least thrice a week, so this is a good gift for me. I think the option to put a message on the razor is really cool. Unlike a card, I will be looking at it at least thrice a week. So, yes it’s a pretty smart gift to give me.”
– Bhanu, 31, sales manager.
