NATIONAL BOYFRIEND DAY
Forget the man cave on October 3rd, it's the man's day! It's National Boyfriend Day, the perfect annual excuse to celebrate the guy who kills spiders for you, shares his fries (sometimes), and still gives you butterflies. Whether the relationship is brand new or has more history than your browser search, today is all about honoring your partner-in-crime.
#NationalBoyfriendDay
What makes your guy your guy? Is he the one who supports your wildest dreams and makes you feel like you're part of an unstoppable team? Maybe it's that magnetic pull you can't quite explain or the way he makes you want to be a better person. Whatever the reasons, use today to show your boyfriend why you think they are the best boyfriend in the world.
Every boyfriend is a unique blend of awesome in your eyes. You wouldn't be in a relationship if he wasn't. From romantic evenings, date nights, and adventures, your relationship has developed over time. One thing is certain--his personality is what made you gravitate to him. What kind of boyfriend do you have?
Is he an adventurer? Is he always planning the next hike, road trip, or spontaneous weekend getaway? Life with him is never boring.
Is he a handsome geek? Can he build you a computer, then explain the entire plot of Dune while cuddling on the couch? He’s the smartest—and cutest—guy you know.
Is he a foodie? Can he cook a gourmet meal that’ll make you weep or knows the best taco truck in a five-county radius? Either way, you're always eating well.
Is he an old-school romantic? Does he show up with flowers for no reason, opens every door, and have a playlist dedicated entirely to you? He is proof that chivalry is alive!
No matter his "type," today is the day to make him feel like the king he is!
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL BOYFRIEND DAY
Ready to make his day unforgettable? It's time to go beyond the usual. While a heartfelt "I love you" is always a winner, here are some ideas to level up your celebration:
Don't just give him a gift. Instead plan an epic quest and make him work for it! Create a fun scavenger hunt with clues that lead to his favorite restaurant, a sentimental spot, or a surprise you have waiting.
Surprise him with tickets to see his favorite sports team or band. You will get bonus points if you wear a team jersey or know all the words to every song the band sings.
Create a private movie night, complete with his favorite movie, candles, blankets, his favorite snacks and drinks, and a solemn vow that not to ask questions about the movie plot.
Recreate your first date! Go back to the the place you met, wear similar clothes, and let him know the exact moment you knew he was the one.
Whatever you choose to do, let him know you appreciate him. Use #NationalBoyfriendDay to post on social media and let the world know about your special guy!
