How much are you willing to spend?

Guys are all different. Some are techies, others are sport fanatics, and some are into music. Unless you want to give a general present....

If you've been together awhile, the personal stuff starts to get a bit old for the guy....a dvd box set or something usually does the trick!

I would prefer personal and meaningful gifts.

Some things that I would personally want:

- Tickets to visit the Antartic or go swimming with whales. (Some things like these offer unimaginable experience and sensations although pricey).

- A painting or artwork made by my partner.

- A table at Tetsuyas internationally famed Top 10 restaurants in the world (in Sydney) and the taster menu.

- A song or composition written for me.

- Having my boss tell me that my partner has requested the day off for me and for it to be granted.

- A surprise birthday party.

- Payed tuition for language lessons or instrumental lessons.

- A pet dog or the next best thing.

These are all things I want in the future as they are unrealistic at this moment. But generally the trend is, do something memorable and original, thoughtful, and show that you have planned it over a long period or taken considerable effort to get done.

you kinda do need to tell us moree about ur bf, to give us an idea of what he'd like, and how much you wanna spend.
my bf b'day is coming up too, and so is christmas, i was thinking on the lines of an electric razor, something he'd use, fairly often anyway, and something he can keep. and possibly something nice like a pocket knife, and having it engraved.
if you really arent sure, tlak to his olds, thats my plan b. find out what they're getting him, and all that jazz, goodluck

oooh, cooking

chefs love for others to cook for them, dont let the fact it might suck bring you down. its the thought that counts, and perhaps he can give you a little pointers and things... ;) *ahem* yeah, its a great idea, try and get some tips on how to do things, and prepare it for him, then go for a walk out to the beaches with the food or something :)

sex > lap dance


if he likes camping and all that sort of stuff take him away for a weekend camping, on your own and get to know each other really well. it'd be really thoughtful and sweet.

Cooking is good, as long as it tastes good. :p

Well, making it look good is also important. I made a huge heart-shaped, elaborately decorated cookie for my boyfriend and he didn't want to eat it because he thought it was too pretty to be destroyed. :p So I gave him all the other bits I had left over after cutting out the heart.

Simple things to make are chocolates. Melt cooking chocolate, pour it into moulds, shove it in a fridge and decorate them when they're solid. :p Anything that you can shape is good as it allows you to be creative.
