I want to do something for my boyfriend I've been dating for
Question Posted Thursday October 20 2005, 8:00 am
Ok so heres what I need help with...I've been dating my boyfriend for 7 months now (I'm 16/f going on 17 and he just turned 18) I want to do something extremely special for him...I've already made him a painting on canvas, baked cookies for him, played guitar and wrote a song for him. Hes so compassionate-- and deserves the best. We are still extremely touchy feely (always holding hands and cuddling etc...) I know this sounds ridiculous...but does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

If you're interested in getting him a store bought gift, try keepin' it simple. Spring for some posters, a leather jacket, nice cologne, a gift card, a nintendo system, or some DVD's.
Or, if he drives... definitely go for a *GAS CARD*. Those are pricey, but you also never mentioned your age and price range.
How about taking him to a fancy dinner.
Another option... you could make him dinner!! If you're up to the challenge, you could try stuffed chicken breasts with potatoes of some sort with a fresh garden salad and sundaes for dessert! Ooooh, or LASAGNA!!
And if you wanna get creative, how 'bout you just go to the park?? Bring a blanket and some music! And pack a picnic lunch, which doesn't have to be difficult. It can consist of turkey sandwiches on slice bread, grapes, watermelon, pretzels, twinkies etc. And make shore you bring a crap load of bread to feed the duckies!!
Maybe rent a couple of movies, and spend the night together.. possibly baking cookies of some sort or making rice krispie treats? That'd be cute!
Another possible suggestion... you could always make him a poster or a photo album. You could deck it out with markers, photographs, quotes and so on.
What about coloring him picture from a coloring book?? (17, female here) I've done that with my boyfriends, and they absolutely loved it!! One of them slapped that puppy right up on his living room wall, when I suggest porofessional paintints instead. But no, he wanted mine. I just think that colors like that are cute and personalized gifts - completely appropriate and respectable.
How about making him some sort of little quilt with protective clear pockets that you can insert pictures into, and take them out to wash easily?
Just in case you were interested in preparing a meal for him, here is a page of a BUNCH of QUICK and EASY meals which can ALL be prepared in 30 minutes or LESS guaranteed!!! [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
(That lady is my all time inspiration!!! I wouldn't suggest her if she wasn't fabulous!)
*It's important to remember that it's the thought that counts with these things. Exspense doesn't measure love, so whatever you do I'm shore be ever so grateful!! Just be creative and have fun!! :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

Another idea is a box filled with little notes giving reasons why you love him and love being with him. That way he can draw out a note each day and be reminded of your love.
A CD of songs that are special to your relationship or tell how you feel is a good idea too.
Making his favorite meal and having a candle-lit dinner is nice. You may need to talk to his parents to find out what his favorite meal is and get the recipe.
