Creative Welcome Back Gifts For My Boyfriend
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend’s back and needs some welcome back gifts to celebrate! If that sounds like you grab one of these gifts. There’s some romantic options, fun and funny gifts, and some unique finds that your travel loving boyfriend is sure to love.
Secret Message Leather Bracelet
A secret message on the inside of this leather bracelet will help him feel special, while also keeping any inside jokes away from the eyes of others.
Romantic Game
You’ve been away from each other and probably can’t wait to spend some romantic time together. After you’re done catching up on the latest in your lives, why not catch up on some romance too with the help of a fun game to play together.
“My girlfriend is hotter than my coffee. (Yes, she bought me this mug)” Mug
You are hotter than his coffee, and everyone should know as much, right?
Personalized Keychain
This way next time he goes away he’ll have something else to remember you by!
Whiskey Glasses (and a Bottle)
If enjoy a drink to relax then this is a thoughtful welcome back gift to have waiting for your boyfriend – especially if he’s returning from something stressful like a work trip.

Yay! You’re Here! Doormat
Set this outside to show your boyfriend how excited he is that he’s finally back home. If you don’t live together put it outside wherever you’ll see him first.
Welcome Back Candle
Get him something nice or a candle with an extra special message like this one. He’ll get the hint real quickly!
Funny Travel Shirt
Let’s be honest – this is going to be his primary topic of conversation for the next little while. Get him a shirt to welcome him back and warn others.
A Book to Read
If your guy needs some R&R time now that he’s back from his trip a book is a nice way to relax and unwind. Get him something he’s been wanting to read or a best seller that’s popular with guys, like this one.
Photo on Wood
A photo of you two together on wood is something really unique and fun to put on display in his home or yours, or perhaps the one you have built together.
Personalized Portfolio
If he is someone who travels for work, a personalized portfolio could make a wonderful welcome back gift.
Photo Guitar Pick
When he is a traveling musician, a guitar pick with a picture of you or both of you together will be the perfect reminder of what he has waiting for him at home.
“Welcome Back” Care Package
Get together a selection of your boyfriend’s favorite snacks (or buy something pre-made like this one) so he can come home to some tasty treats. This is especially great if he’s going to be busy or really needs to relax when he gets back.
Food Dice (and Take Out)
Sometimes the best gifts are the simplest ones. Get your boyfriend one of these fun food dice to help figure out what to order then have it delivered or pick up up. That way you can spend time alone together without the added stress of cooking dinner!
Video Games
Another great relaxation gift, this is a nice way for the gamer boyfriend to unwind after a long or stressful period away. Get the latest release that he’s into, a new console if you want to splurge, or a controller upgrade to make his existing games more fun.
Love Notes
Give your boyfriend some “vitamin me” when he gets back! This bottle of cute pulls have blank notes for you to customize yourself. Fill it out while he’s gone and you’re thinking of him.
Subscription Box
Have the first one waiting for him when he gets back and then surprise him with the news that more are coming! There are subscription boxes for pretty much every interest out there now so the sky’s the limit here.
Fitness Gear
After spending some time in the hotel gym any guy is going to be missing having all the equipment so close to home. While you may not be able to get the full experience (although you could gift a gym membership) you can get him some gear for his home gym instead.
Tickets
If he loves to travel (or to get out of the house) then there’s nothing better to cure the post-travel blues than having something else to look forward to. If you can, book a trip together for the two of you. Other (cheaper) ideas could be a night at a hotel, concert/sports tickets, or a local event.
