You can be there for him when he needs to talk. Give him hugs and kisses when he's down. Cheer him up. Tell him how much you like him, everyday. Explain your feelings for him to him. Give him hugs when you see him and kisses when you leave him. Randomly call him just to tell him you're thinking about him. Leave cute notes in his locker, telling him how much you like him. Give him cookies. Bake him some yummy treats. Anything you can think of, do it. I'm sure he'll love it. ♥ [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

Let me say first off that sex is NOT the way to show him that you care. It's appalling how some girls think that the only way they can keep their boyfriends happy is to continuously put out like a common harlot. If at any time he even dares to suggest that you need to have sex with him in order to maintain your relationship, verbally slap him around and make him cry like a wee girl by dumping him in front of everybody.
That having been said, little gifts can work wonders. A card perhaps? A tin of cookies? Just don't go overboard. He's a boyfriend, not a fiancee or a husband. Even then, one can argue that the gift giving decreases exponentially once you get married. As an aside, that could be the as-yet unproven reason why so many marriages fail: not enough presents.
