For your boyfriend who loves inventing and DIY projects, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gifts that can ignite his passion and fuel his creative spirit. Here are a few ideas that might inspire you:

1. Arduino Starter Kit: Arduino is an open-source platform used for building interactive electronic projects. Gift him an Arduino starter kit that includes a microcontroller, sensors, and other components to get him started on creating his own inventions.

2. Tool Set: A high-quality tool set with essential tools like a power drill, screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches can be a great addition to his DIY arsenal. Look for a set that is versatile and suits different projects.

3. DIY Electronics Kit: If he's interested in electronics, a DIY electronics kit would make a perfect gift. These kits usually include components like resistors, capacitors, breadboards, and wires, allowing him to experiment and create various electronic circuits.

4. Workshop Classes: Consider gifting him a workshop or class focused on DIY projects or inventing. Whether it's woodworking, 3D printing, or electronics, there are many workshops available that can help him learn new skills and expand his creativity.

5. Subscription to a Maker Magazine: There are several magazines specifically catered to inventors and DIY enthusiasts. Subscribing him to one of these magazines will keep him up to date with the latest trends, project ideas, and ingenuity from the maker community.

6. 3D Printer: If budget allows and he has a keen interest in creating physical objects, a 3D printer can be an exceptional gift. With a 3D printer, he can bring his ideas to life, design prototypes, and explore the endless possibilities of additive manufacturing.

7. Books on Inventing: There are many inspiring books written by inventors and innovators that can provide valuable insights and guidance. Look for titles like "The Inventor's Handbook" by Tom Green or "The Art of Invention" by Steven M. Johnson.

8. Subscription to an Online DIY Platform: Sign him up for a subscription to an online DIY platform like Make: or Instructables. These platforms offer a vast collection of project tutorials, step-by-step guides, and forums where he can collaborate with other enthusiasts.

9. Personalized Notebook: Get him a personalized notebook with his name or an engraving of a favorite quote. He can use this notebook to jot down his ideas, sketches, and plans for future projects.

10. Handmade DIY Kit: Create a DIY kit specifically tailored to his interests. Gather materials and instructions for a particular project or invention that you think he'd enjoy. This personalized kit will show him that you've put thought and effort into his gift.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are often those that reflect his passions and interests. By choosing a gift that celebrates his love for inventing and DIY projects, you're not only giving him a material item but also the support and encouragement to fuel his creativity.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
