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!

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.

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:

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!

Me and my bf just started dating dec. 3rd (2007) and we went shopping together and he wouldn't tell me what he wanted and I didn't know what he wanted. he just said that he wanted me! so I just winged it and I got him a key chain that has a key and a heart on it and I said that it was the key to my heart! I also got him some cologne of my choice because he said that he likes what I like! so in return he gave me his class ring and some other stuff! it was cute and it worked out for our 1st Christmas! its all about the love! good luck

My bf is always locking his keys in his car, so I bought him one of those spare key holders with a super-strong magnet on the back so he can put it underneath on his car.
And thanks to everyone's answers. They really helped me with other stuff in addition to the key holder!

Ok, I'm fourteen and have been going out with my boyfriend for a month. i know it's not a long time, but we plan to be together for a long time so i want it to be special. He got me something already but I have no idea what to get him. Help me! He like painball and hunting but I don't know anything about paintball and hate hunting, Gaaa! He likes brown, green, that kind of thing, He's really mature, not preppy, not emo, he's really shy and somehow he was the Homecoming prince, but that kind of stuff doesn't really matter to either of us. I liked the fleece blanket idea, and I could embroider his name on it but I want him to remember me from his gift. Any ideas?

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.

Request: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend
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
Answers:
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)

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)

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)

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. Good luck this year. (09/27/2007)

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)

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)

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!

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)

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 =)
- A stocking with all your little keepsakes in it
- Burn him some CD's with your favorite songs/christmas songs/love songs.
- 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.
- A t-shirt with his favorite band on it, or a sports t-shirt/jersey
- 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 =)
- A scrap book is not a bad idea at all
- Pocket knives are good too! Especially if they're the rebel/bad kind of boy ;]
- 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!
- 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.
- Make him a Christmas ornament
- Does he wear a necklace or chain? maybe a silver or gold chain/cross.
- Art utensils. (once again, if that's his hobby)
- 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.

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend
This is my first xmas with my boyfriend (we're both 20) and I don't know what to get him. I love the stocking idea but he already gets one at home so I don't know if that's too much. What should I put in it if it is a good idea? Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

I have no clue what to buy my boyfriend for x-mas, this is our 1st time and I have no clue what to get him. He likes a lot of different stuff and he won't give me a hint in what he wants. (12/06/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend
I'm lost as well. We've not been dating for very long but I still wanna get something nice. I'm 14 and so is he. So far I've only thought of two things. First I'll burn a CD of "our songs" and second, he's a drummer so I'll get him personalised drum sticks! Hope it'll help. (12/06/2007)

I think that if you want to buy a good gift for your boyfriend, always go for something that could benefit you too, like a nice shirt from your favorite store, cologne, a necklace or bracelet, and a picture of you with a really cute frame.(12/08/2007)

I've been with my boyfriend for 11 months. We're both 14. I love him to death. He's so perfect. He's so excited to give me my gifts, 4 of them apparently. And one is so amazing, he thinks I'll cry. But the bad part is I don't know what to get him! OMG, OMG, help please (12/08/2007)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend
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)

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)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend
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)

RE: Christmas Gift for My Boyfriend
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.

Answers:
Little Notes
My husband and I write little notes to each other, whether it's where were going, miss ya, i love you, thinking of you today (maybe because you are going to the doctor's) or just because. One year I took all the notes (which I dated) and pasted them into a (manly) notebook. He loved it and brought tears to his eyes (12/10/2006)

Fleece Socks
I thought the craft idea of fleece socks is fabulous, for the girl whose boyfriend loves red and dale earnhardt, they have polar fleece in both of those colors and patterns. They'll be great, when he comes over to visit, he can slip on his toasty socks, he'll love those! And the gentleman who sugggested a swiss army knife. Those come in handy! (12/12/2006)

Pocket Knife
I am a male, nearly eighty years old. When I was in my teens I received a stainless steel pocket knife with a nail file, scissors, and one blade. 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)

Homemade Certificates
Make your own "gift certificates" one for a" kiss" another "wash your car" "take you to the movies", just use your own imagination. (11/18/2005)
By Judy
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)
By Paula Jo Carr
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)
By lovethosehounds
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)

Hunting or Fishing License
If he likes to go hunting or fishing, how about a hunting or fishing license. (11/19/2005)

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)
Pocket Watch
My husband can remember the second year we were together I bought him a neat pocket watch. It's been many years now and he still has it for a keepsake. (08/29/2006)

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)
