Night Pumpkin Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Gifts for Guys: 1. Watches 2. Dinner at his favourite restaurant 3. Sports jersey (like if he likes hockey, get him a hockey jersey). Also, I have to say that if you really love someone, you are going to spend money on them. I don't understand someone who says they can spend $3000 on education but can't buy a $100 gift for thier loved one !! Link to comment
laboheme Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 This wouldn't work for a Christmas gift, but it just popped into my head and I thought I'd share...for Valentine's day or an anniversary, buy a whole bunch of guitar picks (since he's into guitars) and scribble something cute on all of them. Like conversation hearts, only conversation picks! Link to comment

I don't understand someone who says they can spend $3000 on education but can't buy a $100 gift for thier loved one !! Um sweety, get into the real world of thinking for once.. I would rather my bf/gf spend $3000 on education if they are bettering themselves rather than them even spend $15 on me. I dont know where you get your thinking and logic of reasoning from and I hope you were just joking but that is just out there.. I really and truly love my bf but right now I just dont' have the money to splurge on gifts for him because of taking care of my son and schooling.. Love isn't about money and gifts and you have a big surprise waiting for you if you think so. Back to the original post though, what is something that he's really into? Link to comment
sixpounder Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 i bought a $240 ring for my girl. 20% off ftw!!... anyways, if hes into guitars, get him like a new guitar strap and like a ballah guitar stand (either ither, take your pick) or some new strings. lots of things you can get him!

But thanks for the ideas... but not everyone is materialistic...

Momene Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I forget my exact formula I posted a few weeks ago but it's based on how long you've been together, how much your income and outgoings are. I think all these things should be taken into account. Link to comment
obscurity Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Well i dont have much money. He doesnt work either. So we are both low on $$. Anyway I am getting him a gift, not sure if I will get one in return, but anyway it will make him smile on christmas day! Link to comment

Newo Ikkin Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just a thought: Do you two share the same taste in music? Is there a band, or an album that 'connects' the two of you in some way? If so, go out and buy the tab book for that band or album. On the inside of the front cover, write a personal message. On the singular tabs for each song, notate around them and put pictures, explaining why particular songs are so important to you. Be as mushy as you want - its like a musical scrapbook! It sounds so cheesy - and of course, it depends on what your bf is like - but its cheap, sweet, and the sentiment is most certainly there. Link to comment
Aalina Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Christmas is a wonderful time of year and brings joy to the heart of even the most miserly. Some of the best Christmas gifts for him can be discovered just by taking a few moments to analyze what he likes best. Link to comment
