I'm wondering if anyone could help me think of an idea for my boyfriend for Christmas. I'm 16 and he's 17, but we've been together for almost 14 months.

I've already done all my good ideas (picture collage, tie blanket, candy, chocolates, dinner, movies, etc.) for other holidays and birthdays. I can't think of anything else.

My only idea is possibly re-creating his favorite board game (Monopoly) in honor of him and have all the stops be like places he likes and what not. But I'm way open to better suggestions.

How about burning a cd for him (legally, of course) with all of his favorite songs?

You can do a search online for free websites to make your own crossword puzzles, word finds, cryptograms, mazes etc. A lot of teacher sites (Discovery.com is one) have them. I made a "coloring and activity book" for my boyfriend using all kinds of puzzles about him and me and taking photos of us from the year that I'd photo-shopped to look like line drawings (by using the artistic filter "photocopy" and playing around a little) and added captions with my word program. You can bind it several ways, using a school report binder, punching holes and using ribbon, etc. I used gorilla glue to bind the pages and used card stock for the cover. He LOVES it and is getting a kick out of the personalized puzzles! Good luck!

The Monopoly board is a great idea. Shows you are very thoughtful. Finding out places he likes and taking the time to make the game personalized is a great way of showing how much you care. Good for you!

One thing I remember I did when my husband and I first started dating was I found a key chain that was cut in half. It said something like the Lord watch out for us when we're apart. I think I bought it for Valentines Day but could probably be for anytime. Probably could buy at a place that does engraving. We've been together now over 30 years. Good Luck to you! Happy Holidays!

Haha, yeah we both have steady jobs so we both use our own money. And I don't know why we've been together so long, we just get along well and have a lot of fun together. But yeah...I wouldn't ask my parents for money to buy him something expensive.

After the amount of time you have been together, you are going have to start doing repeats. As young as you are why do you even have a steady boyfriend. Are you working so that you have your own money to spend on this gift? The reason I ask this is I was talking to a lady the other day that said she had given her son money to buy his girlfriend a promise ring and I wondered what on earth was going on in her head, because I know they aren't that well to do, to be giving a teen age girl a promise ring.

Request: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Archived on 12/19/2009

My boyfriend is 18 and I'm 15. We have been dating since mid September. What should I get him for Christmas?

By Sarah from RI

Feedback:

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

It depends on what he likes. I wouldn't spend a lot of money on him. Mainly because you are both very young and because you haven't been together for too long. Maybe you can make him something that relates to what he likes. If he likes music, for instance, you can make him a CD case for the car or something simple, yet useful. He would appreciate that because it has something to do with what he likes and it was hand made. Good luck in your search. Happy Holidays! (12/10/2009)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Fill a stocking with a homemade CD, chocolate candies, a little puzzle, a cap, a flashlight for his car, etc. (12/11/2009)

By mulberry204

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Mulberry204 has a great idea, Stockings are the best and sweetest ideas. You can pack them full with just about anything ideal for a guy. If he has a favorite type car get him a Matchbox car, homemade treats are great even simple like rice crispy treats/buckeyes, easy recipes.

sparklejunk.wetpaint.com, has really cool car charms he can hang on his rear view mirror, they customize things too and are inexpensive yet high quality and have really amazing things that are mostly one of a kind, they have a big variety, they are still adding new charms and stuff. They are the next big thing in gifts and a great place to check out.

Favorite little things are ideal, if he shares memories of childhood treats or toys he once had or wanted, those are way awesome gifts. My brother use to love the old 80s Atari game system, so I eBayed and got him one, he was blown away. (12/11/2009)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I'm going to stray away from the home-made gifts for more ideas in my post. I've made so many homemade gifts since I've been with my boyfriend, I'm burnt out on those ideas and so is he. But, if you haven't done any of them yet, go for it cause they are still great gifts to give.

If your guy is a movie buff and loves playing board games, get the Movie Scene It! board game, you both can play and add some traditional movie snacks.

If your guy is just a smart-alec get him the "How to stay humble when you're smarter than everybody else" book. It's hilarious and witty.

Silk boxers that are personalized to say "Your Name" are always cute and comfy for him, plus he'll smile each time he sees your name. If your guy loves hats, go to Lids or Lids.com and customize a good one, or if he is picky get him a giftcard to Lids. I know giftcards are lame, but this is thoughtful cause he can alter his hat in anyway he wants and you wont make a design he hates.

If you need anymore help go to findgift.com
They have amazing gifts for any price range and you can personalize who you are finding for by gender, relationship, age, and occasion. (12/13/2009)

I have no idea what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. We've been together for almost a year now and he's been like my best friend for two. I'm 18 and he's 19.

He hasn't said anything that he specifically wants and I want to give him something good that he'll have for a long time. Please help.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

You just need to think about what he does and what he likes and go from there. Without knowing him it is difficult to make suggestions, but I think the best gift you can give are memories. Give him tickets to something the two of you can do together. It doesn't have to be on his birthday either. That's why I mentioned tickets as the gift.

And it may not be something you get tickets for; my ex-wife used to love going to a batting cage on her birthday. One year I gave her a home made ticket for the cages and a roll of quarters for her birthday. She loved it. I think it was the last thing I gave her she liked other than the divorce papers.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Most people will "tell" you what they want, even if they don't come right out and say it. Have you noticed him lingering longingly over a certain item in a shopping catalog, or while out window-shopping? There's a clue. Does he adore chocolate, but tends not to buy for himself? Maybe a small box of dark chocolate (good for the heart) samplers. What's his favorite color, favorite team, favorite activity? Pay attention to these small details and you can make the gift, whatever its price, personal and loving.

And if you're too broke to pay attention. You might try what I did my first year married: make a coupon book for favors and services. Breakfast in bed (worked for us because we lived together), a day's chores done on his behalf by you (might work for you), things he'd enjoy that are free. Merry Christmas! (12/06/2009)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My boyfriend has a debit card for his parents account and has no spending limit, so he just buys whatever he wants whenever he wants. He also buys me very nice gifts, which makes it even harder. For his birthday I just got him a sterling silver bracelet that had 062908 engraved on it which is June 29, 2008, our anniversary. It's subtle and meaningful. He loved it. (12/07/2009)

I have a 23 year old boyfriend and he has everything he wants. What he wanted for Christmas, he just bought. So now I don't know what to get him. I have talked to his family and they have no clue. So what should I do?

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Get him a ticket to some game of sports he enjoys or favorite restaurant. If he is a book reader, perhaps he'd enjoy a good book or subscription to a magazine about something he is interested in. If he is creative and enjoys doing things with his hands like woodworking, buy him exotic woods or woodworking tools. If he enjoys a good challenge, then get him something that challenges his mind. Maybe he'd like some power tools if he likes working on his car. There's a lot of things on the market for computer lovers. I don't see how you can go wrong if you think of things he's interested in.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My 30 year old son is the same problem, he just buys what he wants. Last year I gave him a photo book from Snapfish.com . You can design the hardback book with personal photos and even design the cover. The best part is it only cost $29.00. I think Walgreen's has the same photo book. My son loved his, I think it was his favorite gift of all. (10/23/2009)

Give him a gift certificate for a massage. My boss says that we could have world peace if everyone just had a massage every day. There is nothing like a professional massage. (10/23/2009)

By kmcb59

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

OK, my niece did this for her boyfriend and he loved it. He also has the means to buy whatever he wants, thank God.

This is what she did. She took a photograph of the street on which they first met. She was fixed up by a friend and didn't want him to come to her house in case he was a lunatic. So they agreed to meet at cross streets in Manhattan. On his birthday she took a photo of the street, framed it and gave it to him. He immediately knew what it was, and what she meant. They just got married in October.

I think it was so romantic, and even more so that he didn't look at the picture and have to take 15 minutes to figure out what in the world it was. Maybe you could do that for your boyfriend. My niece's idea was giving a gift that was priceless. Hope you will find something special for him. There are so many good people on this site who are so clever and creative. Have a fun time celebrating. (10/23/2009)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

How about planning a nice romantic getaway somewhere close to home. Rent a room at a nice hotel or bed and breakfast. Get a nice card and put a coupon inside for the dates you will be going. It's always nice for couples to get away. (10/26/2009)

By Mythi

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Maybe a certificate for a massage, tickets for a concert or dinner show, or sports event, car wash certificates. Think of every day things he can use or will use. They can still be a "gift". Make up a box of a lot of little things. (11/04/2009)

My boyfriend and I have been together 11 months, it will be a year on New Years, I'm 17 and he's 18. He doesn't work so we have decided on spending a limit of $20 on each other. But he said I can't buy him games or DVDs or anything like that. He said he wants me to get him something really special that he can treasure. He's really into games and computing.

I want to make him a stocking with lots of unusual things, but I don't know what to put in it. My ideas so far are some guitar picks and I'm going to do a drawing of us. Anyone got any other ideas? I can think of lots of things, but they go over the budget.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Hey there. I'm 21 and my bf is 25 we've been together for quite awhile, but nothing really long yet. He is deploying to Iraq, but will be here for the holidays. Since he's deploying very soon, I can't get him the things he likes because he can't take everything with him (such as his fave cologne, xbox360, etc.), but I bought and am creating a few things that hopefully he can take. Here are some ideas on what I'm doing.
  • Scrapbook with pics of us, ticket stubs and such, quotes, memories, reasons on why I love him, and funny pictures I found online and some are inside jokes.
  • A fleece blanket which I hope he can take. I want him to remember us whenever he's under the blanket.
  • A digital photokeychain, if I can find one.
  • Hopefully some engraved dogtags with our names on it.
  • I'm planning on including a little note about how much I'm in love with him and that he's just the one for me. Also I want him to remember our love that way when it's tough out there hopefully it'll keep his spirits up.
  • Homemade calendar with pictures, funny things.
That's about it for now, but I kinda wish I could buy more stuff though to balance out the homemade stuff. Everyone has good ideas by the way. (12/20/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

You could always do a Build a Bear if there is one close to you. They start at $10 and you can add a voice box to it with your own message in your own voice for not too much more. It's a great gift and when you aren't there he will still have a message from you. (12/20/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

For those whose boyfriends are gamers, I would suggest getting him the movie "Grandma's Boy" if he doesn't own it already. It's about a 35-year old gamer who has to move in with his grandmother after being kicked out of his apartment. The movie was produced by Adam Sandler, so that will give you an idea of the humor involved, but it is a funny movie. (12/21/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

All of these are really great ideas, thanks for the help. Another tip, personalized M and M's are really cute and not that expensive as part of a Christmas gift. I got some that say "I love you" and "My name + his name". (12/21/2008)

By Caroline

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

How about a sterling bracelet or a stainless one with your name on it. Or how about a key holder that he can hook on to his belt, or a a keychain or a wallet with your picture on or in it. If he drives or loves a certain kind of car, you can get him a keychain with that car's logo on it.

Another thing he might really like is, if you could burn him a CD with all of yours and his favorite songs on it. And if he or both of you listen to it often, then throughout life whenever he hears one of those songs, he'll always think of you.

They sell black lights at Walmart, maybe he'd like one of these, or a T-shirt with his favorite bands logo or picture on it.

If all else fails, print out some very nice coupons for him that he can "cash in" later on. For example: This coupon good for one batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies, etc. etc. (12/21/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Wow, I have been dating my boyfriend for 11 months and it will be 1 year on New Years. That's weird. You should make him a scrap book of pictures of you two or take him to the spot where you first kissed and have a picnic basket prepared for him. (12/23/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I've been with my boyfriend almost four months. This is what I got him for Christmas this year:
  1. Engraved Zippo from ThingsRemembered [.com]
  2. Wii travel case
  3. Nintendo Monopoly
  4. Wii candy tin
  5. Zelda mint tin
  6. Personalized travel mug (Dollar Tree find!) with a cute picture from his favorite video game rolled up in it.

The travel mugs are a great idea if your partner loves their coffee. These are cheap, the Dollar Tree is a great place to find them, and you can print out anything you want to put in them.

My boyfriend's a nerdy little thing, always playing with his computers at work (certified computer tech). So I got a plain stocking and glued on little microchips, cables, cords, and $2 broken Gameboy games from pawn shops. Inside it, I put a game he wanted, a candy filled cane filled with computer guts and his favorite candies, the tins of candy, his lighter, and other candies I knew he'd like.

It's definitely a cute idea. No matter what your partner likes, you can always dress up a stocking with little knick-knacks and surprise them with it in the morning. (12/25/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I used the box idea. My boyfriend is going away for a while and I wanted to get him something to remind him of how much I love him. I got him some clothes and stuff, but I felt like I should give him something meaningful.

I got a box, and for every day that he would be gone I came up with a reason that I loved him and put it on a slip of paper. I came up with way more things that intended, 1000 to be exact. I also added in titles of some songs that remind me of him or him of me and our songs, and some quotes and poems. Also some "remember when's", and some little cut out hearts. I decorated the box in pictures of us and on the lid put the lyrics from "Your Song" from Moulin Rouge. ("I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is, now you're in the world.")

When I gave it to him he literally broke down into tears. He says it's the best gift he could have ever received and that nothing will ever top it. I hope this helps, I know it helped me a ton. And it only cost me like 4 bucks for a box and some paper. Hope this helps. (12/28/2008)

I know what I'm getting him for his birthday which is 2 weeks after Christmas. But I have no idea what to get him for Christmas. He plays football, but he already has everything.

He already owns so many clothes it's unbelievable. And he doesn't wear jewelry. He doesn't play music, he's not a HUGE fan of music like some guys are.

In the past I've made him a scrap book (he loved that) sunglasses that he picked out, picture frames with our pictures in them, a dog tag with our names on it, cologne, a fossil wallet, a bear, I made him cookies, brownies and cupcakes, and bought a few designer shirts like Tommy Bahama etc. However he seemed to like the more creative ideas the most like the scrapbook and everything. good luck guys! :) (12/07/2008)

If you have a boyfriend going away to college, or long trip. Get him a cute little build-a-bear. And record your voice saying like, "I miss you" or "Hey, It's your girlfriend [name] just want to make sure you don't forget me!" haha it would be cute. Also maybe dress it it something that would remind him of what you wear. Hope that helps some one. :] -Mikeala (12/07/2008)

-a really nice lacross sweater (which was over budget but he absolutely loved it so it was worth it) -baked heart shaped cookies (which was a little more sweet than usual in our case because they had to be kosher and made right which he loved that i put the effort into) -a wallet (you can also put a picture of the two of you in it) -a little lingerie (this was for his birthday)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I have never done one of these before but I was stuck once too. This year I was really struggling for a present for my boyfriend of a year and a half that didn't cost too much money. This might be a little too much for some of you girls but for some of us older ones this might be nice. It takes a whole evening so make sure you have some time. It is a stocking with 10 items in it all wrapped up with just a number 1-10 on it.

- 1. A silverware set (plastic or even from his own kitchen). This is going to be used for him to eat the surprise dinner that you made him. Perfect for the girls who don't cook a lot. It shows the guy that you are really working hard.

- 2. A T-shirt of his liking. Tell him that he is not properly dressed for the evening and that he needs to go put on number 2.

- 3. A necklace, watch or bracelet. When he come back from changing, tell him that his attire is not complete and to unwrap number 3.

- 4. A CD of his favorite band or mixed CD. You need some music to dine to.

- 5. A bottle opener with his initials or something funny. If your guy like beer or the old Coke bottles, you will need to open them with something before dinner.

- 6. His favorite candy or dessert. After you are done eating dinner ask him to open up his 6th present so that you two can enjoy some dessert or use the candy to top off an already made dessert.

- 7. Cherry Tic-Tacs. The meal might be a little garlicy if you have my boyfriends taste and he loves the taste of Cherry. Find your loved one favorite flavor and see if it is in a Tic-Tac. (they make tons!)

- 8. A movie. The night isn't over so why not watch a favorite movie of his or you both. (perhaps the first one you all saw together)

- 9. A coupon book.

- 10. This one might depend on the relationship of the couple. You can either have him take out a sticker and put it on your lips or somewhere else for the perfect end to a holiday night.

This night will show him how much you thought about him and HIS likes that he wont care how much money you spent on him. You can make this a cheap or extravagant. It is just nice to give an evening of spending time together. (12/09/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

For me and my boyfriend's two year anniversary, I made him this little flip booklet of 200 memories that we had together. Some were sad, some funny, some dirty. It was a great mix, and it was in no particular order. He loved it, and it reminded him of some amazing times that he had totally forgotten about. Something like that would be great, and it doesn't have to be all that cheesy unless you want it to be.

I also made him his own little dictionary, of words that reminded me of him. I would put the word, the part of speech, the definition, and a playful sentence underneath. The sentence always included his name. For example, I would put Adorable (adj.) extremely cute. [His Name] has an adorable dimple. This also doesn't have to be cheesy, you can mix it up and you can have a lotttt of fun with it. He loved it, and some of the more sexual references had him laughing out loud. (12/10/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My boyfriend, Justin, and I have been dating for nearly three months now, but we knew each other for three years before that and were very close friends, so our relationship is a bit more advanced. He's a complete musician - his parents are the guitar player and lead singer for the Katherine Aelias Band, if you've ever heard of it - and he himself is in a band with a close friend of us. So, this year for christmas, I got him:

1.) A silver guitar pick on a silver chain. Engraved on the front is "JS & RM", our initials, and engraved on the back is "9/20/08", the day we started dating, and "I love you". He can wear it around anywhere, under his shirt if he's going somewhere formal, and the pick is actually usable and produces a bit more of a classical sound, which he can use for any of his guitars.

Since he's going to Costa Rica for a month and won't be back until partway through January, I made him:

2.) A 365 days chest. I went out and bought a wooden chest and a large butterfly stamp, which I used on both the front and back. On the top, I wrote, "I love you because..." Inside is 365 pieces of folded and taped paper, each one containing a different reason why I love him, and instructions on how to use it. Basically, whenever he misses me or wonders why I love him, he can read one of the pieces of paper.

The pick is pretty pricey, but well worth it, and the chest took me about ten hours, in all, to complete. If you have the time, it's really a great gift.

Also, just to make sure it wasn't all mush and to ensure that I got something he actually wanted, I asked him for a list. After a bit of hesitation he told me a few things that he wanted for his magician stuff (he's into card tricks and such), and had him choose the one he wanted most (I'm going to do one per holiday). He chose:

3.) Flash powder. I ordered two containers of red flash powder for him, which I told him I would give him when he gets back from Costa Rica - something for him to look forward to and a reason for him to remember to come back to me.

I don't know if any of this helped, but I hope it did! (12/12/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Me and my boyfriend have been good friends for like a year and we just started dating in October. I know hes been talking to his dad and his older brother about what hes getting me and I saw something in his truck so I'm pretty sure his gift is pretty legit and I don't want to get him something lame. He loves baseball so I'm getting a baseball and writing things that mean a lot to us on it and he also loves argile socks so I'm getting those too. I think I might also get him tickets to the first UT baseball game and take him to lunch that day. (12/14/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Use a cute picture of you and put it in a frame (my boyfriend nearly cried when it broke because he loved it so much). I made him a calendar on my mac using pictures of me and him (he doesn't like taking pictures though so most of them were of me). (12/14/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I was struggling with what to get my boyfriend for Christmas he gave me a budget of £30 which really isn't much at all and told me it had to be special and something he could keep. When I started thinking I thought of loads of things that were out of my budget. What I did was think about his interests he's a musician and a big gamer. I also thought about things we have done together and whether I could get him anything to remind him of it.

Think about what his hobbies are and base it around that. If he's a gamer you could buy him games he wants maybe a new console if you can afford it. If he likes sports get him tickets to a game or a shirt for his favorite team. If he's a musician what instrument does he play? You could get him something for that, for example guitar picks, straps, pick holders if he plays guitar or a cool band tee. If he cooks get him a cookbook or a funny aprons. If he is an artist you could get him some paints or paintbrushes. If he's into film you could get him some DVD maybe even some films you have watched at the cinema together that he doesn't own or some you know that he wants.

You could do a stocking of loads of different things his favorite chocolates, t-shirts, cologne things that are useful. If you haven't been going out for long cologne is a good idea because it will run out quickly and he won't see it as a commitment. Also you can get jewelery however this is a personal gift so make sure you know what your boyfriend likes so you don't get it wrong.

If you don't have much money you could also make him something. Maybe do a drawing if you are good at art or if you are good at writing write him a poem or a really nice letter. If you cook cook him something. Think about what your talent is and see if you can make something for him with it. You could also take him to a concert or to see a comedian he likes or even out for a meal or to the movies.

What I got for my boyfriend for his birthday (we'd only been going out 4 months at the time): 1. 2 CD's of a band we both love and we left it playing for ages on one of the first days he came to my house 2. A game he wanted at the time

What I've got him for Christmas: 1. Guitar picks, 2. Pick Holder, 3. Shortbread biscuits, 4.Wall-E plush as we went to see it at the cinema and loved the film we have watched it about seven times since and when I saw it in the Disney store it made me think of him :)

Also might be getting him some dog tags possibly engraved with the date we got together. Hope this helps :) (12/15/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My boyfriend is just an average guy. Makes straight A's. He doesn't do any sports or clubs. He plays video games, but has everything he needs for that. so what I thought of. He drinks coffee everyday. I'll buy him a white coffee mug and write different things i love about him on it. or black mug with silver marker! (keep in mind it'll probably go through the dishwasher)

Just think about what he likes and write what you love about him on it, or things you've done and been to together-- use a baseball, a blank cd, or case, soccer ball, steering wheel cover, etc. (12/15/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

These scrapbook ideas and lovey-dovey gifts are good for some guys but it's a little too cutesy for my boyfriend and I.

We've been dating for two years. He's in a band and likes piercings and tattoos. I don't have enough money to buy him a tattoo this Christmas, so I think I'll draw him a tattoo idea and an IOU for the money.

I also bought him coffee beans and these bracelets that are made from recyclable materials. Just think about things that you know about your boyfriend, to let him know you listen.

One year, this artist I was dating painted me a huge monster in yellow and purple paints, an octopus snow globe, and a crazy antique tea cup - since he knows I like yellow and purple, octopuses (octopi?), and tea. He sells those same paintings for $200, but made one just for me.

Think about what he likes, even if they're just little things. Use your talents. (12/15/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Okay, my boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months now. I'm 20 years old as is he. I was having such a hard time this year with a gift. All the ideas have helped so much. So I am going to be getting him a gigantic stocking and filling it with stuff like a t-shirt of his favorite sports team, a puzzle of a picture of us, fleece pj pants because he has been pointing them out ever since summer, a little stuffed frog with a note saying, "I kissed a lot of frogs before I found my prince charming", the first movie we saw, some of his favorite candies, a book of everything I love about him from A-Z, a new wallet (because he desperately needs one). Also, after we started dating we had to travel a lot to see each other because he goes to school in Illinois and I in Michigan, so all the train ticket stubs as a border of a picture of us. And a little bottle of grey goose, because it is his favorite (12/15/2008)

Cute Ideas

I'm not with him anymore, but here are some things I got my old boyfriend of almost a year of being together:

1. A fleece tie blanket I made of baby dinos all over it. (an inside joke between us, very thoughtful)

2. A necklace with the letter "T" for my name. He got me an "N" for his name. We both wore these everyday - very sweet idea

3. A decorated photo album with pictures of us doing different things together. Each page had its own theme. (Halloween, snow day, homecoming dance, etc.)

4. A nerf gun - he likes shooting games and being silly. He also wanted one for the longest time.

5. I have a polar bear that I've slept with every night since I was like 2 years old, which isn't sold anymore, and I came across one in a library that looked almost exactly like it, so I did everything I could to get it for him so we could sleep with the same thing. hehe

And I think for my current boyfriend, I'm going to get one of those digital picture frames to put photos of us together in it so he can set by his bed and watch it all night until he falls asleep :) (12/16/2008)

Looking for help with my boyfriends xmas gift!

My boy and I have been together for a little over a month now..He's a few years older than me(im 16) and has almost anything I could think of getting him.. He loves things that mean a lot to him and are thoughtful. He goes away for schooling (for welding)and comes home every second weekend but he finishes that in January. At times he gets really lonely and home sick while out there. He loves to watch movies while he's away from home and war and sappy ones are his favorite.

He's a very talented singer but is sort of shy about showing it. He also occasionally drinks but when he does so shooters are always involved. He loves spicy foods and I'm not much of a cook so I don't want to cook him anything. His favorite colour is red. He loves to work out and is pretty built,sports arn't really his thing but he did martial arts and plays basketball with friends. He does drive but wont have his own car until he comes home for good in January.

He's an easygoing and funny guy and says nothing could be too cheesy..but still I'm having trouble with ideas on what to get him. I want it to be spe

cial,meaningful and thoughtful. Does anyone have any suggestions that they're willing to give to me!? All help would be greatly appreciated! :) (12/16/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

This has been so useful! I have been with my boyfriend a few weeks and we have decided that we want to get each other little gifts, but I was stuck as to what to get him. I took a look on here, and after I had read some of the feedback comments, I decided I'd like to get him a key ring or pendant with a message engraved on it. I searched round the internet for ages without much luck. I eventually found a site called http://www.business-gifts-express.co.uk/ and chose a key ring in the shape of a steering wheel, which is nice because he is learning to drive at the moment. I am getting 'Happy Christmas Oli, Love Anna X. 07.12.08' which is the date we started dating. I'm really pleased because I think it's a cute little gift, not too expensive, but personal and special. I hope this helps, and remember, he'll love whatever you decide on. (12/16/2008)

Hey I'm in a hurry trying to find the perfect gift for my boyfriend. we've been together for a year and a half 3 days before Christmas. He's getting ready to go off to college in a couple of months and he was thinking about playing basketball at UT so I got him tickets for their opening game and i took him to dinner. Last year for his birthday I got a really nice black picture frame and put pictures of us in it and ticket stubs from movies, sporting events etc. in it. He loved it.

Last Valentine's day I got a small dictionary and went through and highlighted all the words that reminded me of him and wrote why around the edge of the pages, he has it next to his bed. (12/16/2008)

Hey girls, This Christmas i bought my boyfriend guitar hero. if you look around online you'll find a good price. Its a lot more fun then many people think it is. He also loves Bob Marley so i got him a zip up that's decked out in bob Marley pictures.

You can also think about investing in Wii, theres a game to go along for everyone (I suggest Mario Cart)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

A great idea for a Christmas present for your boyfriend especially if you have been going out long, is to make him a Christmas stocking and fill it with things he likes such as cologne, CDs, cookies, treats, a few coupons stuff like that. My boyfriend just turned 18 and got his car so he really likes the coupon I gave him for a free car wash. Also give him some gifts as a joke such as a nickname you have for him give him a toy of it. :D (12/18/2008)

On the back of the photo collage I wrote something along the lines of "Don't forget you have to share, how about a movie night?" I like the idea of him thinking of me every time he's under my blanket :] Hope this helps someone. (12/18/2008)

I got him an engraved key ring that he has attached to his keys, a polo sweater, a picture frame with a cute quote in it, and his favorite candies. For Christmas I have bought him a north face sweatshirt so far, I plan on making him a blanket and also making him a stocking and stuffing it with movies, candy, cologne, etc. He always spends ALOT of money on me so I want to get him something else that is special/really nice. (12/19/2008)

By anonymous

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

hmm. So I finally came to a conclusion on what to get my boyfriend for xmas.. maybe this could help you!

1.)I made him a candy box filled with all kinds of meaningful candies,wrapped them in candy wrapping of his favorite color(red),attached blank name/gift tags and on each one wrote the candy name and why I choose it(in RED pen). For ex: Sweettarts because he's super sweet and caring. Laffy Taffy because he's humorous and knows how to make me laugh..etc. You can get really creative with it. Then I wrapped it in nice xmas wrapping paper and tied it with RED ribbon and a big red bow.

2.)I bought him 2 pairs of boxers from American Eagle. One has Red and green peppers all over them and in glow in the dark lettering it says hot and spicy. I also attached a note to these saying why i chose them..he loves spicy foods and I think he's super hot..also because some of the peppers on them were RED. The other pair were all red with white lettering saying:Naughty"..and the meaning for those is self explanatory.

3.) I bought him 2 shirts from one of his fave stores. one says "I believe in music" because he loves to sing and dance and is pretty talented at both and the other is white and has some designs on it and one happens to be the superman symbol so i posted a note saying"you're my superman".

4.) a movie pack,inc. popcorn,a popcorn tub,the movie p.s i love you because he said he liked sappy movies and neither of us seen it yet(i also attached a note saying"ps: I love you babe!,pjs pants and i think I might make a tie knot fleece blanket. and of course a cute card.

some other great ideas(more so for long term relationships): -a personalized CD with songs that either you both love,some love songs or ones that remind you or him. -a scrapbook or collage of pictures and old ticket stubs etc. a personalized teddy bear an engraved gold bracelet iron on photos for a shirt,blanket or pillow case..etc. a bottle/container sort of thing w. 365 hersheys kisses and reasons why you love him, coupon book, etc. Hope this helped at least a little.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

One year I bought my boyfriend a silly little card that played music. I was lucky enough to find one that played his favorite song. It was small and non-expensive but it really meant a lot to him, because he thought I hadn't paid attention to the little things.I do pay attention to the little "hints".

He may drop from time to time; like if he tells you his favorite sports team, buy him a ticket to the next game that they're playing, and maybe buy a picture of the team to hang on his wall, like my sister did two years ago.

Her then boyfriend is CRAZY about Kentucky Wildcats. So she bought him a large picture of the team to hang on his wall but she was able to get it signed. she also bought season tickets.

You could even get him a pet. maybe a little over the top, but if hes an animal lover, buy a small animal (kitten, puppy, gerbil, hamster.....etc.) and a cage, food and a few toys. Hope it helps my love. (12/16/2007)

A Silver Ring

That's just funny, my boyfriends name is Casey and he wants a silver ring, lol But I think I'm getting him that and its a great idea, My best suggestion would be to get him something meaningful, my boyfriend loves to cook so I went to the bookstore and got him a book. That is advice that other famous chefs have given to people, I gave it to him early because I couldn't wait and he loved it, Just get something to do with what hes interested in and your safe, good luck (12/19/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Well, I'm 16, and my boyfriend and I have being going out for around 3 months. For Christmas, I bought him his favorite cologne, Gautier 2, for roughly about fifty bucks and change. Ladies, the guys don't wanna stink around you! When all else fails, cologne does work as a first Christmas gift. Especially if you pick it out. It makes the guy want to wear something that you like, or that is a turn on for you.

I also remembered some of his favorite movies and bands, and when I was in Hottopic, I found some great Tee's that I bought. ( Boondock Saints, and some sarcastic quotes, etc. ) It really meant a lot, surprisingly to me, because it showed that I did listen to him and what he loves! Good Luck! (01/08/2008)

If you take my advice, boys don't give as much importance gifts as girls do. So a good gift for your boy should be perhaps a lingerie treat or may be your self cooked recipe. Think of something innovative and not the usual stuff.

I found some really innovative stuff here: http://www.lovenemotions.com/relationships/boyfriend-gift-suggestions.php (02/03/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Hey everyone, absolutely LOVED your ideas! I didn't ask for ideas but obviously I needed some if I was looking :) I especially liked the scrapbook/album idea, the stocking filled with a variety of things, and the list of things I love about him. Great ideas girls! Keep up the smart thinking. Much love to all! <333 My bf will love it. (06/15/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Hello ladies. Okay so I'm not trying to brag but I'm a very creative person when it comes to gifts. My boy friend is 21. This is going to be our 3rd Christmas together. So it does get harder to think of gift ideas but I manage. Some gifts that I have done:

-For Christmas two years ago I made a book called "everything I love about you from A-Z". It's the cutest thing ever some appropriate examples..C- your Chevy (because he has a super nice pick up) D-our dates F-your family- J-Jet (his dog). I put a picture on each page and I just love it!

-For his 21st birthday I put 21 things that reminded me about him in a huge box such as, a lava lamp, a hoodie, boxers, sandals, shot gun shells, fishing lures, candy, sun ships (his fav) gas gift card etc. -Last Christmas I got us a helicopter ride for an hour. He really enjoyed that.

-For our one year anniversary I got him a beta fish and a shirt that said I'm a keeper. Just some ideas! Hope they helped! (09/25/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

This year is our 4th Christmas together. we've both had our 18th birthdays this year. So I was thinking about like an alcoholic gift set since I can legally buy him one but it not meaningful enough. I'm struggling for ideas because it feels like I've got everything he wanted over the course of the last 3 years so this year I'm at a dead end. I was going to get him a PS3 but he got himself one *grr* so now I'm all outta ideas however reading feedback on here was very helpful, especially the more meaningful , personal gifts! (10/08/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a long time. He moved away right after we started dating though, so I never see him :[. Anyway, I wanted to make him something really amazing for Christmas to send to him. He plays instruments, guitar especially.

So I decided to buy a miniature guitar, like a display kind of thing. And write all my favorite things about him all over it, I'm also getting engraved guitar picks and drumsticks for him, and maybe a scrapbook. I know he'll love it. and its a good idea for a music boyfriend. (10/09/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I thought these calendars were *totally* hilarious, and they're kind of cool cause they're environmental and all. and of course my bf thought they were super fun.

Check it out: http://www.hotchixdig.com/tip.php?topic=seasonal&tip=2009calendar They're only $12 so they're a nice gift that someone can actually use without being super pricey. (10/13/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Hey ladies I know the holiday gift ideas are hard but here are a couple cheap things I gave given the boyfriend over the past few years. I made a pillowcase with pictures of us on it all you have to do is buy iron on paper and print the pictures on it and then iron it to the pillowcase. HE LOVED IT. You could also get him a DIY blanket where you tie the ends and it's personal, but not too hard.

If your guy is into video games, I bought mine a "video game chair". It was like a hundred dollars so that would probably be all he would get for some of you, but it has speakers that hook up to XBox's, play stations, and whatever else. You could also buy him his favorite video games if he rents a lot of them

Another thing I did was call and ask his dad his jean size. Jeans are always a good idea because you can never have enough and it beats a gift card which is so impersonal. (10/15/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

For Valentine's Day I baked over 100 heart shaped cookies, brownies, etc of various sizes and put them in his car that morning so he would find them as he went to drive to school. He (and his family!) loved the giant heart shaped brownie especially. Since it was February the weather was chilly enough to put all the baked goods (which I had wrapped in Valentine's day plastic baggies) in the car knowing they wouldn't melt.

Also, that same boyfriend just loved Napoleon Dynamite. For his birthday I got him the DVD along with the "Vote for Pedro" shirt. To top it off I sewed him his own stuffed "tiger". It was pretty easy to do-- just used the head of a lion stuffed animal and the body of a tiger. Him and his friends loved this thing and it always made appearances on drunken nights.

"Themes" usually help me out if I'm really stuck. I got another boyfriend this super cute (but totally manly) mug with gourmet hot chocolate packets, a new North Face ski cap and gloves, and two ski passes to the closest slopes.

My current boyfriend appreciates one, more luxurious item as opposed to lots of things. Ex. Ugg moccasins (get him to try them on--he will never want to take them off--also, if he thinks they're too girly or whatever, take the laces out--it makes them look more rugged and they're still just as comfy), lacoste sweaters, burberry polos, North Face anything, cologne (if you know what he likes)

Also, for fun, whenever gifts Mrs. Field's has a ton of gift ideas for any budget. Also, guys just love those fleece knot blankets--especially ones with their favorite sports team on one side and a coordinating, solid color on the other--great for tailgates!

Hope this was helpful! (10/17/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Concert tickets are always great especially when paired with the band or artist's cd.

Also, a cute gift used to give out for all occasions-- buy a jumbo popcorn tub (they sell them at Blockbuster), stick one of his favorite DVD's (or one you both like to watch) in there along with some of his favorite king sized candy. If you want, you can also put a Blockbuster gift card in there and let him know that any movie he rents, even if it's Supertroopers or whatever, you will cuddle up and watch with him. (10/17/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I'm 16. My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 3 years. Maybe I'll be of some help:

Last Christmas I made him a photo album of pictures of us together throughout the year. (for that you kinda have to plan ahead to take tons of photos) I also made him one of those fleece tie blankets, make it extra big though, so you BOTH can use it. :)

I got him things I knew he liked: his favorite cologne, comfy Abercrombie sweater, a Burberry scarf, and a huge pack of Sour Patch Kids. (his favorite candy). Good luck! -Michele (10/23/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I'm 15 and my boyfriends also 15. We've been together 5 months and we both decided to exchange Christmas gifts. In my opinion the best idea for a homemade present is a scrapbook filled with memories, photos, ticket stubs from dates, etc. You cant go wrong. :) (10/27/2008)

By Louisa

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

A great idea for a Christmas gift came from my boyfriend. We decided to make gifts for each other since we didn't want to keep buying gifts. So he made me a letter explaining his feelings for me, put a picture of us in the background and then put it in a frame. It was a great gift that you could do for your boyfriend! (10/27/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I have been with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years. We are young only 16 and 17, but we still like to celebrate haha. Some things I've gotten him were:

a scrapbook (I do this every year so this will be 3) a blanket with our picture on it- cvs walmart has them

I had a picture puzzle made-- cheap -- like 14 bucks we out it together and then I framed it for him.

Cologne, guitar pics, band tees, and a wallet with is fav band.

A nice fossil watch is always good, a book with all the letters we write each other

We went to build a bear and built each other teddy bears to sleep with. This was super fun and cute! (10/29/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

This wasn't a Christmas gift but it was a gift for Valentine's day. I handmade a canvas because I like drawing. And on it, it had his fave bands and artists that I drew such as Russell brand, the arctic monkeys, noel fielding, Pete Doherty etc and in the centre there was a picture I drew of me and him with some love hearts. I drew a little envelope and I wrote "handmade by Hayley for Alex for Valentine's day 08" & stuck some photographs on it too. Some of it I painted as well but for most I left it black & white. It took time but he absolutely loved it, and its hanging on his bedroom wall now :)

I made one for my best friend too when she moved the other week to Australia and she loved it as well. I think hand made things are really lovely to do and give as a present.

As for bought gifts, me & my bf last year decided that we would buy each other gifts that were the same. So instead of getting each other random things we both said we would buy each other perfume/cologne. So he bought me the Sarah Jessica Parker gift set & I bought him Lacoste essential.

We're going to do the same this year but for a different category. I think this is also a really good idea because you can both talk about what you want, & you know that it'll be in the same price range, and it's also a kind of "his and her" thing so it feels really special too.

Other ideas could include a watch, dvd box sets, chocolate, gift cards, gig tickets, etc. There's loads of stuff really it's just personalizing it to make it special. (11/01/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Me and my boyfriend have been together for over 2 years and do I ever know, it gets harder to find gifts the longer you're together. For me, as a tradition every single year i always got a stocking filled with candy and treats and little toys...what ever entertains me. So, for one Christmas I gave him a stocking just like mine and filled it. He loved this really much and even felt apart of my family. (11/01/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I am stuck! I have been with my boyfriend since march of 2008. We have known each other for 5 years (ever since he come back from a mission trip to Mexico). I don't know what to get him for Christmas. I thought of some clothes and some cds or something, but the problem is that his birthday is Dec. 26, and Christmas is the day before! WHAT do I do? He is worth a lot more than everything. So I feel like when I get him something it's not good enough. He is going off to college in January. I need ideas! I already have him some things, but not a lot. Thanks, Dana (11/03/2008)

I know that he has already gotten me my gift and I know that it was really expensive and nice. I have no idea what to get him, I don't have a lot of money to spend like he does, and I want my gift to be something that lets him know that I love him and I want him to love it. Can you help me?

1. lacrosse goal hes really into lacrosse), 2. tickets to a college lacrosse game, 3. made him his favorite cookies and wrote on them with icing, 4. his favorite movie (nightmare before Christmas), 5. promise rings (we both bought them for each other), 6. t-shirts, and 7.video game (11/04/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My boyfriend and I are both 19, and we will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary very soon (Dec. 8), and this will be our 3rd Christmas together. I haven't decided what I'm getting him for Christmas yet, but I figured I could let everyone know what I've done in the past.

1st Christmas: cologne, 3-fold picture frame w/ 3 of my best senior pics (this was his FAVORITE even to this day!), and a long-sleeve cotton shirt from Eddie Bauer.

1st birthday (our b-days are only a day apart!): a CD that I made w/ songs that are special to us and/or that are romantic.

2nd Christmas: He's a hunter/country boy (<3). I made a fleece blanket for him w/ John Deere fleece on one side and camo fleece on the other! (He STILL sleeps w/ this every night, and now he has it in college. It's great to cuddle w/ together too.), and I got him a $150 gift card to Cabella's, sounds impersonal, but he told me that he wanted some new coveralls, so I got him the gift card so he could pick them out himself.

2nd birthday: 2 tickets (GREAT SEATS, which makes a huge difference b/c it will show him that you want to show him a good time) to a Cardinals game and a Cardinals tee-shirt to wear at the game! The game was about a month later, so it was like he got the present all over again, AND it was great to be able to do that together! As an added bonus, I offered to drive, and when we got there a little early, I look him out for lunch and paid.

For our 2 year anniversary, I'm making him dinner at his house, and we're going to go see the new 007 movie since we went to a 007 movie on our first date! Very romantic and meaningful. (11/13/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My boyfriend and I have been going out for 9 months. He's 16 and I'm 15. A while ago he said he saw these New York Yankees boxers and he wanted them. So I was going to get those for him. Then the other day he was on line and found these sweatpants he really liked and sent them to me. I ordered them off line already so so far I only have those two things. They come out to be less than $50. So I will probably get him like a new bottle of his favorite Burburry cologne. I also might get him a gift card to his favorite restaurant, Outback Steak House.

Gifts for my boyfriend

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now. I'm 16, and he's 17. We started dating around the beginning of the school year last year, so I was fortunate enough to have to get him a Christmas gift, which took a lot of thought out of me. I talked to him about music a lot and found his favorite band was Pink Floyd. One of my friends likes them too, so I had her discuss albums with him. She told me there as one CD which he didn't have and he wanted.

For Christmas that year, I bought him a band t-shirt, a teddy bear, earrings, and a the CD. He has earrings, so I put them exactly where his are on the bear, and I put the shirt on the bear as well (it was a pretty big teddy bear) I then put the CD in the bears lap, and put all that in a gift bag.

For Valentines day, we decided to make each other gifts. I sewed him a teddy bear, and made the teddy bear a back pack. Inside the backpack, I put in 20 Hershey kisses, 19 were cherry, which is his favorite flavor, and one was just regular. For each kiss, I pulled out the saying, and replaced them with a reason why I loved him. For the silver one, I wrote I love you, and that one I wrote by hand and not by computer. I also made him a card.

For his birthday, a few days later, I took him to the mall to go shopping. I made a mental note of everything he wanted and went back and bought the thing he seemed as if he wanted most.

If you get stumped on what to get your boyfriend, take him shopping. He will point out a thing or two at least that he wants or needs. Buy him that when you're not shopping with him. He will admire the fact that you were listening. (11/17/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I did this for my boyfriend and mines 2 year. There are frames at crafts stores which have the space for the picture, then matting around it on which you can write. I put at the top of the frame "100 things i love about you" then I came up with 100 things about him which I loved. It took a little bit to come up with 100 things. but the gift was a huge hit.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 1/2 years. Over time I've bought him an x box (along with extra controllers and games), tom tom GPS, mets/giants hoodies, tickets to mets games, I made a calendar of all pics of us, the entire series of seinfeld dvds, and the most recent gift was a ski trip. I surprised him with it two days before and had everything arranged and his friends came along too. (11/20/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I have been with my boyfriend for coming up on 2 years (Dec. 15). I was kind of stumped for what to get him, and then it hit me! Go to the wal-mart (I know it sounds lame) but if your guy is a outdoors person, get some fishing wire, some bait (DEAD), and other little things he might need, like a cheap pocket knife, and make a little gift basket! It's reasonably cheap (depending how big you make your basket), cute, and thoughtful because you made the basket yourself! (11/25/2008)

By Catie

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

All of your ideas are wonderful! My boyfriend and I have been through a lot in the past year. I was pregnant and had a miscarriage and we were both 18 at the time, and it really had an impact on both of us. And he's dealt with my attitudes, PMS, and just everything in general. When I want something he always buys it. So I want to do something that will mean a lot to him. I know a few of you were talking about doing a scrapbook, which is something I want to do but I think I will have to wait until next year to do because we don't have too many pictures together. So what I've decided to do is make him a gift basket that his the following:

1. Cologne [gift set includes travel size cologne, regular size cologne, deodorant, and body wash], 2. Headphones, 3. Bake his favorite cookies, 4. Favorite candies, 5. 365 Days Jar [write things you love, like about him and everyday he misses you he can take out a piece of paper from the jar and read what you wrote], 6. Coupon Book, 7. Watch, 8. Stewie pajama pants [he loves family guy!]

And I've already gotten him an Xbox 360 which is what he wants the most so I'm just hoping he will love his gifts! I actually plan on putting more stuff in his gift basket I just can't decide on what else I want to do. Hope this helps! (11/25/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Hi girls. I am 16 and my boyfriend and I have been together for a year now. For his 16th birthday, I bought a silver guitar pick and had the front engraved with our initials and the back engraved with lyrics to our song. I then put it on a silver chain for a necklace. He absolutely loved it and he wears it practically every day! This would be good for any holiday. Hope this helps (: (11/25/2008)

By Ange

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Something that he can do with some of his friends would be cool. Even something with just one friend if you don't wanna spend too much. Say like tickets to a hockey game, or laser tag passes. I am getting my bf a round of paintball for him and a friend. (11/27/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Me and my boyfriend have been together for about 14 months. But last year for Christmas this is what I got him.

1. a fleece blanket, with penguins on it cuz he LOVES penguins.

2. a CD mixed with songs he likes and our song.

3. a coupon book (with stuff like free kiss, or stuff like that). 4. a stuffed penguin :) (loved it).

5. and a box of his favorite candies all mixed.

Just thought I'd tell what I got my boyfriend. It might help it might not. I thought some ideas in here were REALLY helpful for this year's Christmas! :) (11/27/2008)

I have been with the most amazing boyfriend/fiance for almost 2 yrs, and I gotta say I love spending every moment with him. He makes me happy even when I'm not in the mood to be happy. So yea I think that the greatest gift you could give your someone is the love you want from him. Through out all the LOVE in the world what to you would be the best gift. It's your choice on what to give him. Always know that he will love you no matter what! (11/28/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Me and my boyfriend Gilbert have been going out for exactly two months. This will be our first Christmas together and I want it to be special. I wanna get make him something as well as buy him something that will remind him of me. I was thinking of buying him a hamster. Yeah I know it's weird but he says that I look like one so i thought it would be a funny idea.

I was also considering a coupon book and maybe even baking him a heart shaped cake. Once I made him a CD with all our songs including some romantic ones. He really liked it. I also wrote him a letter of how much he means to me and the impact that he has made on my life and everything i love about him.

If you're a singer write him a song and sing it to him if he's a romantic kinda guy. Or maybe even making him a calender with pictures of the both of you together on each month. I hope i was able to help and I wish everyone the best of luck. (29/11/08) (11/29/2008)

I'm taking my guy to a couple of GT basketball games (cuz I can get free tickets) and I'm taking him for the laser show at St. Mountain. If you do this and still want him to have something under the tree, write him a romantic letter about how much he means to you and everything. Trust me, this will mean the world to him. (11/29/2008)

But I really would like to get him something this occasion. And I'm pretty sure he wants something. He means to me, and he has been there through so much.

He has been playing baseball since he was 3 and its his life. I was thinking building him a bear that is wearing his favorite baseball teams uniform. He is some what of a sucker for corny things. Any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks ( : hendersonjoselyn(at)yahoo(dot)com (11/30/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

My ex and I had been together for three years. I can tell you what I had got him in the past and I hope it helps some. Our first Christmas we had only been together for a few months so I made him like a little mini scrapbook. All the pages are already creatively done so you just have to add the pictures. You can pick one up at Joannes or Michaels. I also gave him his favorite candies in a little Penguin case (it was an inside joke between us)

The second Christmas I got him a dog tag necklace. It was silver with a strip of gold on it. I also got his initials engraved on the front (he wore it ALL the time)

The past Christmas I was running out of ideas. He's a pretty big beer drinker so I got him a mardi gras Heineken Neon for his place, my favorite cologne on him, and a few shirts. Hope that helped. (11/30/2008)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 3 months on Dec.4th. I've known him for 5 years and I have liked him the whole time, and when we started dating I found out that he liked me the whole time also! So things are working out great.

He's totally into music, he plays piano, bass, and trombone. He's writing me a song for Christmas! He also swims and LOVES movies. One thing I'm going to get him for Christmas is a "movie night" basket. I'm also going to get him a guitar strap (because his broke when he flung his guitar around his neck).

I will probably also get him a band t shirt and make him some food. He loves my cooking. music is also a big part in my life, so I am attempting to write him a song. It's harder then it sounds! One more thing. He just got his license (were both 16) so I'm going to get him a little penguin key chain. He loves penguins! (11/30/2008)

Of course he has something for me already and he said it's really good and I already know it's expensive. I had about 10 ideas for presents for him but he got everything! At first I was planning on getting him a guitar, picks, amp, wallet, band shirts (he already has every single one for his favorite band), cologne he just told me he is getting from his grandma.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I made my boyfriend a great frame with a bunch of pictures of us scattered around on it mixed with all the tickets of shows and movies we had seen together in the past year. that was for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. If your at all creative I suggest maybe drawing a picture of him. I did that also but I'm waiting til Christmas to give it to him. Also, he's been saying he wants a ring so I am going to get him a plain silver one with engraving on the inside of it so it isn't too corny. Lastly, I'm thinking of buying him a star, it's something different and it's surprisingly inexpensive. Hope this could help. (12/01/2008)

My boyfriend and I have been going out for 7 months. For his birthday, I bought him a stuffed animal bear (it's an inside joke), a gift card to Subway (he loves subway). I made him a peanut butter chocolate cake, and I wrote him a card about how much I love him and why. I put sparkles all over it. He LOVED all of it.

For Christmas I might do one of the coupon things like "free back rub.. free wrestling match" ...he LOVES wrestling. I might do the 100 things I love about you or A-Z thing. and buy him something cute.. he likes socks :P (12/01/2008)

Request: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Archived on 12/14/2007

I don't know what to get my 18 year old boyfriend for Christmas. It's our first Christmas and we've been together about six months. He's really into baseball and I honestly have no idea, can anyone help me? Heidisc1 from Philly, PA

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

If he is into baseball put together a baseball themed gift. Maybe an old movie (Field of Dreams or Major League), or baseball cards, or a jersey and socks. It depends on your budget. You could always go to one of the photo places and have a picture of you taken in a baseball uniform. Or if he has a favorite team or player you can look on Ebay and see if somebody is selling something (old ticket stubs?) unique. Good luck with your gift and the relationship. (12/11/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

A great gift no matter how long you've been together: home-made fleece blanket. I know they've started to sell kits for these in some stores but if you'd like to make a full-size blanket go to any craft store and pick out 2 different fleeces. Try his favorite colors or those of his favorite sports team, school, etc. Then you just cut slits about 1" apart and a few inches in, then with both fleece designs facing out, tie them together. Easy, hard to screw up. It cost me about $30 and it was a useful and appreciated gift! For the boys who don't wear jewelry but you like the thought of getting something engraved, maybe a money clip w/ his initials would work. Happy shopping! (12/11/2007)

You say he is a baseball fan? I don't know if you can do it online but what about a personalized Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat? Try their website to see if you can order one. (12/12/2007)

I need some ideas for Christmas presents for my boyfriend. He's 16 and it's our first Christmas together and we decided to do homemade gifts for the most part this year. I would really love if somebody could give me some ideas ASAP, =)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Well, I'm 16 years old (I know, young) and I've been with my boyfriend for 13 months now. If any of you girls are having issues with Christmas presents for your sweetie, I'd say you should make him something cute.. like a picture frame with your picture in it. If you would rather buy something or do both, then I suggest something silly that will make him laugh his butt off and think of how cute you are everytime he sees it. My boyfriend jokes about calling me Poohbear (because I hate it so much) so I've decided on a Poohbear stuff animal for him. Good luck ladies! (12/17/2006)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

If you can cook, I think some food gifts would be great. Brownies, cookies, cookie bars are always a hit with guys. Snack mix made with pretzels, nuts and Chex cereals and maybe even some M&Ms or chocolate chips tossed in would be good too. You could bag up a mixture of some of these types of treats and then make up a little basket to hold them all. (12/18/2006)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Well, I was totally stuck with what to get for my boyfriend and by Christmas, we had been together about 5 months but fell in love fast. I was 15 nearly 16 and he was nearly 17. And if you're stuck, just think of somthing that's special for both of you. I bought my boyfriend a bracelet and got the date we got together engraved on and he absolutly loved it. A year later and hes still chuffed to bits with it, so you could do that.

Hope it helps a bit X (07/15/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Get your guy a mixed CD of songs that remind you of each other, or a hoody. All guys like hoodies. Just make sure you buy the right size. If you are a good singer, you could write him a song and sing it for him. If you can't sing, you could write him a sweet poem, including some memories you have shared. Print it out and put it in a nice frame. Maybe add in a picture of y'all in the bottom corner. Just some ideas. (09/10/2007)

I didn't know what to get him for Christmas either, but just recently he has been talking so much about this picture that he loves of us that we took a while back. I'm a painter, so I decided I'd take the picture and put it in my paintings. For Christmas, I'm going to give him this. Of course you can either pay to get this done by a professional or do it in a black and white drawing. I just thought it would be a good idea. I'll let you know if he liked it or not.

RE:Gift for My Boyfriend

For all you ladies having trouble finding the perfect gift for your boyfriends, don't worry I have as well. However, going onto my first year anniversary, I had ideas like an Edible Arrangements basket (look it up on the internet), it comes with chocolate covered strawberries, and yummy goodies. If not maybe a scrapbook, If you have a funny relationship story like i do, that wont be a problem. And if not then a simple dinner, or box of Godiva chocolates is nice, and if you have enough pictures of each other I recommend perhaps a collage of pictures with both of you together.

Good Luck (11/04/2007)

My boyfriend is a drummer, so im getting him engraved drumsticks with our anniversary and I love you on them. Also he loves his truck, a black lowered Chevy. I'm getting him a Hotwheel like it as a jokey thing, then a bag of his fave candy bar (Butterfingers). I'm making him a blanket, because he likes to cuddle and I'm going to make him a picture frame to put a picture of us in. I added all that up and it only came to about $100. Fits my budget perfectly and it's all got sentimental value. (11/13/2007)

By Alexa

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Every year I always make chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate molds, almond clusters and chocolate covered strawberries (just make sure that the strawberries are totally dry before you dip them). You can get really creative and it's so cheap. Just get the chocolate discs at A.C. Moore or even Walmart. Melt them in a double boiler pot. If you don't have a double boiler, just put a little water in the bottom of the pot and put a slightly smaller pot inside it. The boiling water underneath melts the chocolate without burning it. You can probably microwave them too. Just follow the instructions. Just dip whatever you want or pour it into a mold and let it cool. It's a lot of fun. Sometime me and my boyfriend make it together too :) (11/14/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

For Christmas, I'm getting a huge stocking, like as big as I can find. Inside of it, I'm going to have boxers, shirts and PJ's all rolled up with ribbon around them and little things like a Christmas pillow, a cute stuffed animal. I want to make him a blanket, this ring he wants, movies with bows around them, or wrapped up, his cologne (Polo Blue), a calendar with our pictures on it, a frame with a picture of us in it. We love to go to Subway and Starbucks so gift cards for that. He's addicted to his Xbox 360 so games for that or whatever is "cool". I'd make like the reindeer candy canes and have personalized M&M's in there, make him a huge Christmas card, cookies and like a gingerbread cook, Hershey kisses and just all kinds of cute things.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

The most important thing to remember when getting your partner a gift is that it should be a reminder to him that you love him more than ever. Getting him a sentimental gift will have a far greater impact and longevity than something edible or generic. The best way to show your partner you care is to: engrave jewelery, make him a goodie basket with favourite keepsakes, make him a journal and fill it with important dates and sweet messages (this works particularly well if you make a mix CD so he can play certain songs on special days), a relationship scrapbook, make him a cute storybook capturing your relationship, get a sweet pictures turned into a painting, get him gift cards or tokens for kisses and massages etc.

If you think long and hard enough about what your man will like, then I'm sure you'll strike something golden that will truly make him smile! Goodluck xox (11/16/2007)

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Ok, well my bf is 18 (same as me). We've been together 1 1/2 years. He's a real guys guy mostly but can be sentimental sometimes. For Christmas last year, I bought him a stainless steel bracelet. You can easily pick a real nice one up for like $50-100 bucks. It's deff a good gift, if you've been going out for 6 months or not so long term, because it reminds him of how much you love him but doesnt have "I LOVE YOU FOREVER" plastered all over it.

Another good idea if you've just started dating is a nice cologne. It eventually runs out so he's not gona look at it as a marriage proposal and freak out about commitment, etc., if you've only been together a month.

For his bday I also made my bf a scrapbook. It's something more personal but I'd only recommend it if you've been together for a while (like over 6 months). It was definately something he didn't expect but loved it all the same. It nearly even brought a tear to his eye, which is saying something. I did mine on the cheap but if you're not a real arty person, it can start getting pricey so be prepared to part with your money if you don't think you can make things yourself. My worst fear would be making a book too tacky. You don't have to make it 100% perfect coz he is a guy after all and won't really notice if your handwriting is messy or something. A few ideas if you wana do a scrapbook: don't go too lovey dovey. I only had 1-2 pages that were all lovey. It was all the reasons why I loved him. Other than that, I had just formal pics and pics of us together. We also did a marathon together so with the pics from that, I just wrote a note next to it which said "Thank you for bein there for me" rather then the love hearts surrounding our photos. I also had a some pics that I got off his mates of him being stupid with the guys, etc. It kinda detracted from the whole lovey-dovey-ness but was still sentimental because it showed how I took the effort to go to all his mates. Also, rather then having every second page saying "I love you", say something like "hey there sxc boy" or something. He'll think it's the greatest. Trust me.

Hope this helps you all anyway to some extent. i tried to answer a fair few questions in one so sorry it's quite long. good luck. (12/02/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

Ok, my boyfriend has just turned 16 and I turned 15 not to long ago. We've been dating for about 3-4 months and Christmas is coming up! He loves to go hunting, loves movies [yeah, even the lovey-dovey ones], and definitely loves music [we're both in band]. He says he's already got not 1, not 2, but 3 gifts already for me! So, that puts a little more pressure on trying to find the right gift(s) for him. If any of you have an idea for me then please let me know! I already have some ideas but I need more! Thank you.

RE: Christmas Gift for YOUR Boyfriend

Make him a homemade coupon book with different things on each page decorated in Xmas colors. Like 1 page says "this coupon is good for one kiss." Something like that. "This coupon is good for a 20 minute back rub." It's cheap and meaningful. Also you can go to the dollar store and buy mini stockings and decorate them with craft paint and paint his name on it Xmas 07'. Then inside you can put his favorite candy, the coupon book, and a homemade ornament "Sally and John's 1st Xmas 07'" (12/03/2007)

By Carmeysha

Perfect Ideas for HIM

Boys are complicated, and us girls feel like we need to do the absolutely perfect thing for our guy on christmas. So, here are a few ideas that may interest you =)
  1. A stocking with all your little keepsakes in it
  2. Burn him some CD's with your favorite songs/christmas songs/love songs.
  3. My boyfriend and i have been together for 2 1/2 years now, and for our first christmas together, I got him a silver ring. He LOVED it and he still wears it every single day.
  4. A t-shirt with his favorite band on it, or a sports t-shirt/jersey
  5. Get a picture of you two and blow it up, or put a picture of you two in a frame. My boyfriend also loved that one. it's right next to his bedside =)
  6. A scrap book is not a bad idea at all
  7. Pocket knives are good too! Especially if they're the rebel/bad kind of boy ;]
  8. Bake some home goods! On Christmas, it's always good to bake some goods and put them in a little Christmas box or decorate gingerbread cookies taht look like the two of you, or wrap them in a special way with bows and stuff in a bag? just make it look nice, and i'm sure he'll LOVE it!
  9. Paint him a picture: If he enjoys art, or is just extremely artistic, paint him a picture yourself or buy him a painting or drawing for his room.
  10. Make him a Christmas ornament
  11. Does he wear a necklace or chain? maybe a silver or gold chain/cross.
  12. Art utensils. (once again, if that's his hobby)
  13. On the more expensive side: a new accoustic guitar or a new bass. or an amplifier, or a new guitar strap! OR accesories in general or his music needs.

Well, in response to one of the answers, I wouldn't advise getting a bass guitar for your boyfriend unless you're willing to spend a TON of money. A good bass can run at about $500 and a good amp can go for as much as $300. (12/09/2007)

By Frannie

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I had absolutely no idea what to get my boyfriend either. We're both fifteen and we've been dating for almost eight months. I asked him what he wanted and he insisted that I shouldn't get him anything, that he didn't want me to spend money on him. So instead of spending a ton of cash on something artificial, here's what I did! Find a shoe box, basket, or buy a photo storage box from the local craft store. You can leave it the way it is, or if you're a little more artsy, decorate it. I cut letters from a magazine and glued them around the edge of the lid so that it said "I love you" over and over. I wrapped the box in newspaper and glued little pictures of "inside jokes" on it. You can write quotes, make a collage, whatever you want, but be creative and make it your own!

Fill the box with cute little things that mean a lot to you and him. some ideas are:

  • Old diary entries about how much you had a crush on him before you started dating.
  • A picture of you together from middle school.
  • A photocopy of how he signed your yearbook.
  • A CD of your favorite songs (if you really want to be sweet, put the number of songs that corresponds to you anniversary date. ours is on the 19th, so I put 19 songs on the CD and on the insert of the CD case, I wrote little notes about each song)
  • Bake him his favorite cookies or buy some of his favorite candy. My boyfriend always complains that I eat all his gum so I bought a couple of packs of his favorite brand.
  • If you're corny like me and keep all your movie ticket stubs from your dates, throw them in the box. On the back write something like "first kiss!" if you have the stub from the movie that you had your first kiss in.
  • My boyfriend is an amazing guitarist. I obviously can't afford a new guitar, but I stopped by the music store, got a couple of ten cent guitar picks, and wrote sweet messages on them with a sharpie. things such as "ily" (i love you) or just a little heart so that everytime he plays he thinks of you. You might want to leave some plain so that if he's playing around friends, all of his picks don't have hearts on them. =D
  • I kept the flower that he left in my locker on our one month anniversary. I picked a couple of the petals and put them in a ring box. Draw a heart on the outside. again, personalize it.
  • My boyfriend also says that he doesn't have a picture of me to put in his wallet or look at when he misses me. Take a picture of yourself or use a school photo. If I were you, i'd avoid peace signs or kissy lip faces. MySpace defaults probably aren't a good idea. Just a picture of you the way he sees you everyday. If your bf comments on your smile, make sure you're flashing some teeth. =D
  • Get a small picture frame and decorate it. Put your favorite picture together in it, or if you have more than one picture together, put them in a photo album or small scrapbook.
  • My boyfriend loves the way I smell (it's so cute when I catch him sniffing my hair!) so get a piece of fabric or just paper and spray your perfume on it. Don't be shy, it might seem strong at first, but it'll wear off. if you have fabric, rub some of your body wash or shampoo into it. Be sure to let it dry!
  • Make a list of all the things you love about him. Don't be afraid to make it long if there's lots of things. Be sure to make note of the little things that he'd be surprised you notice. Compliment his clothes or the things he does for you. If you're having a hard time, run through one of your favorite dates in your mind. If there were things he did that gave you that "dropping stomach" feeling or made you think "he's so cute!", jot it down.
  • If you're REALLY REALLY artistic, sketch a picture of him. If you're like me and you suck at realistic art, do something abstract, but point out how he influenced the art or what it means. Or if you sing, record a song he likes. If you're into poetry, write a poem.
These are just some ideas that will hopefully get you started. The main point is to make this your OWN. Make it fit YOUR relationship. If the relationship isn't as developed or long-term yet, include more joke-ish items. If you've been together for a while, don't be afraid to up the corny level. Don't be afraid that you're boyfriend won't like it because it's too sentimental, he'll love it, trust me. I really hope this helped!

Happy holidays! =D and good luck! (12/09/2007)

Last year for my boyfriend's birthday I went to his house in the morning and woke him up and he was so surprised to see me there. It was soo cute cause he had serious bed head and no shirt on and he kissed me and I told him I made him breakfast. He was so excited. I also gave him a frame with a picture of us in the middle and magazine clips surrounding the picture of all our inside jokes. It now hangs on his wall. Obviously I was on a budget. He loves homemade gifts though! Hope this helps! (12/09/2007)

If you haven't been dating for a while, get him a CD, a shirt or even a poster of his fav. band. If you guys have been together for a while, you can make a journal/scrapbook of all the times you've spent together. Me and my boyfriend have a journal that he made me on our one year anniversary that we write notes to each other in and pass back and forth. I don't know what else to tell you guys because I'm not even 100% sure what I'm going to get my boyfriend this Christmas. XP (12/10/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend

I like the whole mixtape idea. But I'm a music fan. Maybe make a CD of all the songs that mean something to the two of you. Or maybe pick a fave band of his and make a whole grab bag of it, like autographed photos, t-shirt, badges (think ebay!)...the whole deal. I think I'm going that route with my husband this year, he's a big music fan too. Or just make a whole collage of pics of you and him. Super-sweet ones. They may act like they don't like the mushy stuff, but if you make it personalized and memorable, they def hang onto it. Or the homemade thing? Make him food? It's the way to a guy's heart.

It was purchased at neiman-marcus and has my initials on it. It was made in italy. It has been on my keychain all these years. I use it almost daily. Believe it or not, but at the time it was purchased it was $4.95, But the last time I saw it in their catalogue several years ago, it was around $25.00. If they are not available, then consider a swiss army knife of the simplest and thinnest kind. (11/18/2005)

Savings Bond

I suggest purchasing a "savings bond" to go towards the purchasing of a car in a few years or what ever he wants. This could be done for all of your holidays (Xmas, birthday, Anniversary etc.) By the time the bonds mature (7 yrs) he will be 21 and needing some kind of cash.

Bonds are purchased at a bank. The cost of a $50 bond is half of that at $25. A $100 one is $50. It is the idea that in 7 years the small bond that you bought will have grown "interest wise" to be cashed in for DOUBLE the amount you paid for it originally!

Evryone rather male or female enjoys cash at any time of year at any age. (11/18/2005)

Memory Album

I know some guys might not like this idea, but yet some might. How bout a memory album of pictures of yourself and him. But you must be sure not to make it frilly or too mushy. Maybe a hunter green album or some sort of notebook and just add the decorated memory pages. Good Luck (11/18/2005)

Baked Goods

Why don't you bake several different kinds of cookies for him. Make some homemade fudge. Get him a Christmas stocking and fill it with stocking stuffers, small bottle of after shave, hair gel, etc. (11/18/2005)

Some Ideas

How about a DVD - maybe Fever Pitch (very funny baseball movie)? You could include some microwave popcorn and candy too.

What about those small remote control cars from Radio Shack? Kids & adults like those. They even have cones you can set up for an obstacle course.

Is he studying for his driver's license? Maybe a special keychain would be appreciated.

Does he have a cellphone? Maybe buy him a special ring-tone or extra minutes?

If you like to cook, you could cook his favorite meal for him.

Hope these help. (11/18/2005)

Gift Card

How about an arcade pass, or a gift card for one of his favorite stores, let him pick out something that he'd like, rather than you picking out something that he wouldn't like. (back in my dating years, I picked out a nice shirt, pair of jeans, a nice belt & belt buckle for a guy I was dating, for his birthday, he took them to a pawn shop & traded them all for enough money to buy a bottle of whiskey with!! I was furious, I'd worked hard to earn enough money for his gifts & to think he didn't care enough to appreciate them.) Best of luck on your gift giving! (11/19/2005)

Pocket Token

For all special days, I get my husband (and he gets me), a pocket token. A coin, a dog tag, a rock, etc. You can find just about anything engravable and have a special saying or date engraved. It's like giving them a little of you to carry with them when you are apart. We never leave the house without at least one token in our pocket. (11/20/2005)

Ideas

i know that my guy is a hard working guy who does a lot of outdoor work. Try adding something humorous that shows you really listen to him. I'm purchasing a bob the builder "hard" hat and a hello kitty hammer for fun and something else, a movie, that he seriously likes. Finally a favorite snack food (he loves oreos). (12/09/2005)

Photo Album

For my boyfriend for christmas one year I made him a photo album including all the good times we shared together as well as some really goofy shots of both of us. I also pasted in little items which had sentimental value for us both i.e. the movie tickets for our first ever date. Once i decided on getting him this i started collaborating little trinkets. He LOVED IT! (12/13/2005)

ID Bracelet

If he will wear jewelry, get him an ID bracelet with his name on it it's not that expensive and you could put your own secret message on the back. (12/13/2005)

A Calendar

If you've been together more than a year, this works. I save my old movie ticket stubs and always write descriptions of events in my datebook (date w/Luke, going to concert). At Christmas, I bought him a new calendar and transferred the dates from my calendar into his. So he would have a calendar he could use for the whole year, and certain dates were already filled in with good memories (EX: July 1, saw "Mission Impossible" together; September 9, went to Pearl Jam concert; or whatever). Fun, meaningful and inexpensive. (05/24/2006)

TV, Sports, Movies

Here's a step by step process.

- Ask him what he's favorite sport team, TV show, movie is.
- With the gathered info (haha) see what's easiest to buy
- A jersey of his favorite team basketball. Make sure if he tells you his favorite team you KNOW what sport it is!
- If he tells you his favorite show see if they have a DVD maybe of the 1, 2, 3 seasons
- If he tells you he's favorite movie he probably has it but you can get him something relating to it. Like shirt or something from it.

Hope that helps someone (12/04/2006)
