1. Art Supplies: Help fuel his passion for urban sketching by gifting him high-quality art supplies. Look for a sketchbook specifically designed for outdoor sketching, with thick paper that can handle different mediums. Additionally, consider getting him a set of watercolor pencils or markers that he can easily carry and use on-the-go.

2. Camera Equipment: Urban exploration often involves capturing the beauty and essence of unique cityscapes. Consider gifting him a camera lens or a tripod that will enhance his photography skills and help him capture breathtaking shots during his explorations. Research the specific needs of urban photographers to find the best equipment for his style and preferences.

3. Guidebooks and Maps: Help him plan his urban explorations and discover hidden architectural gems and artistic spots by gifting him guidebooks or maps of various cities known for their urban culture and artistic scenes. Look for publications that focus on street art, abandoned buildings, or lesser-known areas to fuel his curiosity and inspire his sketches.

4. Personalized Travel Journal: Purchase a personalized travel journal that includes his name or initials on the cover. This journal can serve as a space where he can document his urban exploration adventures, jot down new sketching ideas, or note his favorite spots. Look for a journal that includes prompts or inspirational quotes to spark his creativity.

5. Workshop or Class: Consider enrolling him in an urban sketching or photography workshop to enhance his skills and provide him with the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. These workshops often take place in various cities and offer hands-on experiences, valuable insights, and tips from professional artists or photographers.

6. Urban Exploration Bag: Get him a durable and functional bag specifically designed for urban exploration. Look for a bag that has compartments for art supplies, a camera, and other essentials. Additionally, consider a bag that is water-resistant and has adjustable straps for added comfort during long exploration sessions. Personalize the bag by adding a small urban sketching or exploration-themed accessory, such as a keychain or pin.

7. City Pass: If your boyfriend enjoys visiting different cities for his urban exploration, consider gifting him a city pass or membership that grants him access to multiple attractions and museums in a particular city. This will allow him to experience the urban culture and history of various cities, providing him with more inspiration and subjects for his sketches.

8. Art Exhibition Tickets: Keep an eye out for any upcoming art exhibitions or gallery shows that feature urban or street art. Purchase tickets for both of you to attend the exhibition together. Not only will he be able to draw inspiration from other artists' works, but it will also be a memorable and enjoyable experience for both of you.

When choosing a gift for your boyfriend who enjoys urban sketching and urban exploration, consider his specific preferences, whether it's sketching, photography, or a combination of both.
