Question Posted Saturday October 29 2005, 2:36 pm

ok, i know its really early but i dont want to leave this til last minute...

i don't know what to get my boyfriend for christmas.

backround information: we've been dating for over a year, in december we will have been dating 19 months.
he's getting me a promise ring from james avery...and something else. heard it through the grapevine...and indirectly from him.
we've been through alot together and i want to show him how special he is to me and how much i love him.
we're still in high school so something thats not too hard.
he said all he wants is to spend time with me...so should i plan a day with us just together? and if so...ideas for what we should do? i know it could be a full day because my parents dont really have a problem with him sleeping over at my house....
if i buy him something, what budget should i stay close to? and what should i get?

please help! thanks in advance. :)

okay want to know what i think will be really special for both you and him is to either take him out to dinner or have you house toatally decorated have rose pettals and a ton of candles lit and try to kick ur parents out and make him or get him dinner it would be so cute so then he can spend time with you at a romantic dinner and it shouldnt cost you that much maybe $70 at the most and i know he will love it,hope i helped ~mj

What I did for my ex-boyfriend last year was made him a really nice scrapbook. I took a bunch of old pictures and magazines and bought a small 14 page scrapbook, a really nice one with a heart on the front. I cut words out of the magazines to write him notes and letters and pasted pictures of us and him with things like "I want you" ect next to them. I put some on-line comics in there and on the last page put in a handwritten note saying how much me meant to me. He really liked it. It took a long time and a lot of flipping through magazines for words but it was worth it in the end. They come out looking really nice if you put some time and effort into it and it's a really sweet, personalized gift.
You should spend the day with him also, maybe renting a bunch of stupid Christmas movies like A Charlie Brown Christmas or A Christmas Story and watch those and eat popcorn for a while, maybe go ice skating if you do that near where you live, open presents, bake cookies (heh), make out and just spend time with him. I've always found the best days are spent just hanging with someone aimlessly, talking and watching movies.
I wouldn't buy him something. I know that might not make a lot of sense, but I really think making a gift and personalizing it is much better for someone you're close to. Time and effort says "I care" better than anything expensive from the store does.

It sounds like you really care about your boyfriend a lot. :-) I'm glad.

W0W! I have a whole weekend's worth of an idea for you! =]

Have him come over for dinner one (Friday or Saturday) night. Make sure your parents stay away from the dining table during these few hours you eat. Set up some candles around the room & make a simple dinner. Then, figure out some kinds of foods you guys have eaten on your dates - or candies he likes, or inside jokes between you and have those, too. Strawberries and kiwi (red&green for christmas) as dessert with whipped cream is fantastic. Just cut them up and arrange them on a dish as a christmas tree. Use the kiwi as the tree and the strawberries (and cherries if you'd like) as decorations on the tree.

After dinner, you can watch a Christmas movie on the couch cuddled up with hot chocolate and blankets and pillows.

Then you go to sleep.

The next morning you can make him breakfast in bed. Pancakes, waffles - the whole 9.

For the day, you could try ice skating. If theres snow on the ground, you could go outside and have a snowball fight or build a snowman (play like little kids).

You could also take him shopping, and buy him a new outfit. Boys might act like they dont like shopping - but when its for themselves - they DO like it!

Then go home, and make a picnic lunch and sit in the living room in front of the television and watch another movie while you eat.

Then on christmas you could suprise him with a new silver chain (if he wears that), or maybe tickets to some kind of game he enjoys or concert of a band he likes. =] hope I helped!
