RE: Frugal Christmas Gift for Boyfriend
How about the "gift of you" IF he doesn't like that then there is a problem.

RE: Frugal Christmas Gift for Boyfriend
I wholeheartedly agree with everyone who said if he doesn't appreciate something because it didn't cost a fortune, you don't need him. However, I also know it's hard to say goodbye to someone you care deeply for.
My suggestion is this: The first year my first hubby and I were married, I literally didn't have a penny for gifts. I still wanted to let him know he was special, though. Instead of racking my brain for a material gift, I made up a little "coupon book."
Coupons were good for things like hugs and back rubs, etc. You know what your man likes, so feel free to use your imagination.
I used slips of paper about 3x5" and staples to hold the booklet together, but again, you can use your own creativity.
And, an early Merry Christmas!

To those who are suggesting non material things you have a warm heart. To the person who's 18 listen to these folks, if you give him these gifts from the heart they will show you if he really loves you. If he doesn't appreciate it run and run I mean it! Please.

Well, any guy would love a CD so why not make a CD of your top 20 songs. or put songs together that both of you listen to all the time. That way you can share the CD in your car and his car make double copies of it. Then on top of that you could get him a small MP3 player and he can download the songs onto it!

It doesn't have to be a material present and if he truly loves you more than expensive items he won't expect a material gift and if he does expect it then it's time to kick him to the curb (I say this from experience).
How about simply buying a nice Christmas Card to give to him on Christmas Eve (or a day or two before) when he comes in the door but hand it to him with a big bow tied around your waist and peaceful Christmas music playing in the background and a candlelight table set for a homecooked meal ready to serve?
To me anyway, the romantic jesture and quality time spent together is worth far more than an item.

I think you get him what you can. If it comes from your heart, that's the most important thing. If he doesn't care for it b/c it wasn't expensive enough, you might want to think hard about being with him. Plenty of things have value that don't cost a lot of money.
Best of luck! I hope you find the perfect gift for him, and that he loves it.

Give him a gift card that you can afford. Just think about the future, what if you all break up? Good luck.

CDs, DVDs, sweatshirts, cologne, bodywash, subscription to one of his favorite magazines. There are lots of things that don't cost a whole lot.

Stick with what is affordable for you. If boyfriend shows appreciation for it; lucky you. If not, then don't sweat it because you've done your best with what you have and that's all anybody should expect.
You didn't mention things he likes, so it's hard to say what you can get him concerning his interests. I'm sure there's things out there that's affordable and right up his alley.
