My boyfriend's birthday is in two months. This is his first birthday that I'm going to celebrate with him. I'm actually confused right now because he's from a very wealthy family and I'm not like him. I don't even know what to get him because I'd see it to be something small. He's into fashion. He dresses a lot. He likes music too. He plays a lot of musical instruments like the piano and the flute. He likes going out a lot too. I'm really confused right now because I want to get him something that's going to mean a lot to him.

Get tickets to a reasonably priced music event for the two of you. If there is any money left over, give him a framed picture of the two of you.
Thank you so much Judy. I really appreciate it. Thanks. A frame picture of the two of us...well noted. Thanks.
I am sure he is not looking for something big! It could just be something as simple as a homecooked meal. :) It's the thought that counts!
The best gift is one of experience!
Think about something the two of you like to do together and treat him to it...like a matinee movie, or a coffee and pastry at your favorite cafe, or take a walk in your favorite park and have ice cream cones.
Or you can do things with no cost, like pretend you are tourists and walk around your town pretending you are seeing it for the first time, or take a hike in a local park, or if you have a big city nearby, find the most expensive hotel in the city and sit in their lobby and people watch for an hour (this used to be one of my favorite things to do when I was young).
It makes me sad for you that you are worried about your different backgrounds. Do you have someone special in your life you can talk to about this worry?
If you two have fun together and enjoy each other's company, there are many ways to overcome what you may perceive as a difference between the two of you. The most important things in relationships are to have the same core values and enjoy the same things, have honest and safe communication between yourselves, and most importantly RESPECT and love each other for who you each are now and will become in the future.
I will say a little prayer that the two of you have a lovely time for his birthday and enjoy your time together free of worry.
Wow I'm actually in awe right now. Thank you for everything. Thank you for your advice and thank you for your prayer. I'd try and talk to someone close to me about this and I'd also try and forget about our different backgrounds. Thank you. I really appreciate. Thank you.
Blessings to you both!
I hope you can get to where you can celebrate and grow together because of your differences vs letting them divide you.
Diversity could be relished and celebrated, not become a burden or divide.
Take care and do find someone to talk to! That you asked on a site where you are anonymous, tells me this something close to your heart with fear and worry and not with joy. I hope you find a trusted person to help you with this!! Post back with an update!
Tickets to an upcoming concert, or maybe a special outing(Try Groupon) for attractions in your area! Groupon gives you big savings on popular attractions,without any one knowing how much you spent!
Well noted. Thank you so much. Yes yes I'd try Groupon and see. Thank you. I really appreciate. Thank you.
Hi there. In my opinion the best gifts are one's from the heart. Something that you hand make. Are you crafty? A picture of the two of you together and a beautiful frame.
