Christmas?
I seriously have no idea what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. I want it to be something really personal. Please, any ideas would be appreciated. Here are some of his favorite things:
Movie-Donnie Darko
the Boston Red Sox
poker
Author-Kurt Vonnegut..and reading in general. He reads a ton.
Music- Iron and Wine, Max Richter, The Smiths, Bright Eyes, ect. . . soft, pretty, folksy-type music

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Well if you want to make it something really personal, then theres nothing better than a homemade present =] it comes straight from the heart and it shows how much you care about him and that you were thinking about him =D a cute idea would be to make a photo album maybe and put pictures of you and him in there and write down little memories you guys have had together and write a message maybe on the inside cover that says maybe something like," I love you so much and I hope you have an amazing christmas. I can't wait to fill these pages up with more memories <3" or something like that. Or another cute idea would be to get him a book by Kurt Vonnegut and then in each page, stick in there a little note with a picture or memory or just telling him how you feel about him and make each note in each page different. So as he reads his book, he can read your love notes =] I hope I helped!
Love,
MELii

Think of things he might use. Try a Red Sox jersey/hat/sweatshirt. With a combination of a book and cd possibly? Mix it up so you can atleast get hime one thing he likes :)

Dear Christmas,
Your boyfriend will thank you, if, you buy him books written by Robert Anton Wilson. In particular try The Illuminatus Trilogy, (Cosmic Triggers 1, 2, and 3), Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy, and Prometheus Rising.
Another good author is Timothy Leary. Anything by him is just as good as Wilson's. They have even written books together. Some of Leary's are The Psychedelic Experience (he co-wrote with Ralph Metzner), Flashbacks, and The politics of Ecstasy. He has more, just cannot name them all right now.
A little about how Timothy Leary has influenced people:
Leary once recruited John Lennon to write a theme song for his California gubernatorial campaign (which was interrupted by his first arrest), inspiring Lennon to come up with the hit "Come Together," which Lennon later reclaimed for himself. Leary was the explicit subject of the Moody Blues song "Legend of a Mind", which memorialized him with the words, "Timothy Leary's dead. No, no, no, no he's outside looking in," a refrain he once detested but later found the sense of humor to adopt as his PR theme song when he hit the university lecture circuit promoting NASA scientist Gerard O'Neill's innovative plans to build giant Eden-like orbiting mini-earth's using existing technology and raw materials from the moon. He is also mentioned in the song "The Seeker" by The Who: "I asked Timothy Leary/ But he couldn't tell me either".
A number of other musical groups have admired and been influenced by Leary, including the progressive-rock band Tool, the metal band Nevermore, Marcy Playground, and Dog Fashion Disco. Nevermore mentions Leary in their lyrics, and titled one of their albums "The Politics of Ecstasy" (after Leary's book by the same name). The techno band Infected Mushroom uses a soundclip of Leary saying "Tune in, turn on, and drop out" in a song. Leary made a cameo appearance in "STUFF," a short film directed by Johnny Depp and Gibson Haynes about the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitar player John Frusciante. He also appears on 'Gila Copter' off the 'Linger Fickin Good' album by the Revolting Cocks and also appears in the video for 'Cracking Up'. Leary also appears as the father in the Suicidal Tendancies video "Possessed to Skate".
Anything by these authors will blow his mind, if he loves to read, he will LOVE any of them.
Hope I helped :)
Sincerely,
Honestymatters

Maybe get a few band tshirts?
Buy him a couple of CDs? Take him to a concert before Christmas or after?
Buy him that movie if he hasn't gotten it yet. Get him a Donnie Darko poster or watch the movie with him.
Ask him what book he wants to read. Get him a book he doesn't have by his fav author yet. Snoop around his room? XD
