I starting dating my boyfriend about a week ago. His 18th birthday is on the 20th of this month and I don't really know what to get for him. I am thinking about making him dinner, but I'm not sure what to make. Any gift ideas and easy recipes for a 17 year old girl?

Being that you have been dating for only a short time I wouldn't go to any great lengths for a present. Making Him dinner is more than you would need to do but would be a good present none the less. For that matter I wouldn't even bother with trying to make him something he may not like (since you don't know Him very well). Offer to take Him out to dinner. Go to a buffet, maybe chinese or Golden Corral. Can't miss with finding anything to eat at those locations unless He is a Vegan.
I have a boyfriend and we were the couple that are best friends and it just led to a relationship. So we've hung out a lot and it's a good relationship, but our 1 month anniversary is coming up and his best friend told me my boyfriend was giving me a gift. I have absolutely no idea what to get him!
He likes old rock like AC/DC, but he already has their CD. I know he likes Michigan State football, and I know some of his favorite candy. I was thinking of giving him a picture frame that hold like 8 pictures and I can fill them with pics of me and him and some of his friends and stuff, but I don't know. I just need ideas. We're both 13, but we're both really mature about our relationship for our age.

Personally, I don't think that one month is an anniversary. I think that it would be best NOT to give a gift. If he gives you something, you should thank him graciously. If you then wish to do something in return, you could bake him cookies or something like that. Excessive gift giving when you are so young (or at the beginning of any friendship/relationship) is not a good idea.
I have been dating my boyfriend for four months now, and his birthday is on November 13th. He is turning 17 this year and I want to either get him something or make him something, any ideas?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a month and his 18th birthday is next week. He won't tell me anything he wants, other than he wants it to be a surprise.
