Christmas Gifts


Question Posted Saturday November 12 2005, 3:07 pm

Okay so I've been dating my boyfriend for about 3 months and I'm trying to figure out what I want to get him for Christmas. I've gone to the mall with him a few times and have seen things he wanted to get, but when I say, "Oh maybe I'll get you that for Christmas" he says, "No, I can buy that for myself" (since he has a great job). So what's a gift I could get that would set itself apart from other things? I mean, I want to get him something special but I can't think of anything that can't be bought at a mall.

Please Help!

P.S. I've already made him dinner once, so I don't want to repeat that so soon.

He needs to realize that a gift is a gift. If you get him something that he could have gotten himself then he didn't have to get it himself and should appreciate you for doing it for him. Most gifts are something that the person could have gotten themselves. Ask him what he wants for Christmas. Have him make a list. If he can't come up with anything, what you should do is just get him something and not tell him about it. If you don't tell him about it and just get it, he'll love it. It would be a good idea to make him something too. Bake cookies, or make a really nice card. That's something he couldn't do for himself. Remember that Christmas is about giving and he will appreciate you for whatever you give him because he knows that you really care about him and put a lot of thought into your gift. Good luck!

Hey hun!
I think you should get him any video games that he likes, any movies he likes, some type of cologne he might wear, clothes, money, you can write him a poem telling him how much he means to you and how your glad you guys are going out, you can write him a letter, you can give him a picture of yourself and make your own frame for it that you can put it in, you can get him any jewelry he might like, or you can also get him some cd's. If I were you I would definitely make him a Christmas card though. He would probably love that since you made it yourself, and didn't go out to buy one. You can also bake him some Christmas cookies! That'd be a good idea! Alright, I hope I helped you out hun! If not, I'm really sorry. I don't know what sort of things your boyfriend likes. Let me know what you decide to get him! Luv ya! If you have anymore questions, just leave them in my inbox. <3 KiMmY

Ideas:
- A mini-break away somewhere
- A book
- A picture of you and him in a REALLY fancy and expensive photo frame
- A ring, with something engraved on it

Best of luck!!

I am in the same boat you are in. It is very hard to shop for boys especially if they are close to you. (In your case your boyfriend)The way that I deal with it is I give my Man some money and let him buy or do whatever he wants with it. Just remember money is the gift that keeps on giving. If he gives the money back than he is not worth a dime.

Hi,

I suggest Gift Cards. You can go to Best Buy for example plunk down $100.00 for a card and he can use it for what he wants. CD stores also have them.

In this day and age movie tickets cost a fortune so a book of gift certificates from movie theaters would be welcomed. The same thing with bookstores, coffee shops etc. If I were you I would combine them with a dinner at a favorite restraunt.

Coupon books also work for promises you will grant etc (non sexual of course) or surprises that he tears off etc. Creativity, thought and love goes farther than anything material or store bought though. I'm sure you will figure this out Christmas is several weeks away.

hmm, well it's kind of weird that he says "he can get it for himself" b/c its like him saying he wants you to get something more expensive. You can create a scrapbook, get a bunch of cd's that specifically mean stuff to you guys, or just get him a gift certificate so you dotn double something he has.
