Valentine's Day gift giving...boys, help me out!
I've been dating this guy for two and a half weeks. We've been close friends for a year before he asked me out. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to give him for Valentine's, but I need advice.
I'm planning on painting a guitar pic (since he plays guitar) and I'm going to paint on it "Happy Valentine's Day" and have a cool design on it. I was thinking of baking him cookies and putting them in his locker. Then last but not least, I want to get him Fall Out Boy concert tickets sicne we both love them. The tics are about twenty something dollars, and I was wondering...too much for a relationship this short? give me your opinion. if you ahve any other ideas, alterations, or suggestions they are appreciated!

i think thats a really cute idea but i wouldnt do the cookies the painting and the concert will show that you care and took a lot of thought to come up with this

Yes, since you've only been dating for a couple of weeks, I would go for something a little bit smaller. The concert tickets would probably my choice cuz then you can bond at an event you both enjoy.

YES! That's way too much for a realtionship that short. And since you mentioned lockers, I think you're way to young to be putting so much into a Valentine's Day present. It's not like your married. The tickets are fine but that should be it. Tickets and a little kiss. That's good enough.

You might want to make the guitar pic a keychain so he'll think of you everytime he uses his keys. Plus, it's less intense than a "Hey, I've taken over your guitar playing!" that might be heard if you give him a pic.

I think you have two options here: The cookies and guitar pic OR the tickets. Giving him all of this at once is a lot, especially for such a short relationship. Let's weigh the pros and cons here.
THE TICKETS:
Pro: You both like FOB and would enjoy spending time together at the concert. Plus, you've been friends for a while.
Con: The price is a lot for such a short relationship.
THE GUITAR PIC AND COOKIES:
Pro: They always say homemade gifts are better than store-bought ones. :o) He can keep the guitar pic forever and remember you when he sees it. Also, you definitely can't go wrong with cookies!!
Con: None, really.
So, if I were you, I'd go for the pic and cookies.
You can also make a card with a nice poem (you can write one or you can find one somewhere). Or, if you have a picture of you two together, you can get a picture frame and decorate it.
You can even get some Hershey's Kisses and put them in a jar with a note that says, "Here are some extra kisses for when I'm not around!"
I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

I think the guitar pic and cookies are a great idea. If you don't the concert to seem like it was ALL for valentines day since you haven't been dating that long, just tell him "I LOVE Fall Out Boy...and I want you to be the one I go to the concert with" as opposed to "i bought these tickets for you. Good luck and I hope that helped. :-D

Ohhhh, without a doubt, I'd write him a song and have him put it to music and play it for you on his guitar.... also if he really enjoys playing the guitar.... I might give him a gift certificate at a local music store, soooo if there's anything he might need along the line of music/playing music/guitars that he needs, he could use is for that.
Your idea of painting a guitar pick is a good one but you'll have to use the right paint or it could wear off..... from sweatly fingers, wear, or ? I would think acrylic paints would be good!
But I'd paint a couple of coats if the design is simple enough to pull it off.
You've not dated long enough to pay that much for tickets...tho it's a grand idea. I'd save that idea for later when you've dated longer and I feel it's kind of a guy's thing to do for his girlfriend....
Make him an original Valentine's Day card.... he's creative with his music.... you be creative in some way also.... creative people can have sooo much fun if they share in the creative processes. Even write something inside that is orginal, from your heart.... and I'd use a 'music' theme along with the Valentine's Day/heart theme, if you can..... you can even make the envelop and that way it would be totally from your well of creativity!
Or, if you like sketching/drawing, you might buy a blank tshirt and get a couple of fabric paints and paint a valentine/music theme design on his tshirt.....
Let's see what else.... you could pack him a Valentine's lunch.... make really nifty stuff for it and share it with him.....
You could go for a walk.... hide something(if it's nice weather) and during the walk surprise him with it..... or fix it so it's a 'treasure hunt' kind of thing.....
That's about all I can think of right now.... have a really great time... it sounds like he's a really nice guy and you feel like you're super nice too.... but don't rush a good thing....enjoy every minute of your new developing friendship and just let it unfold, smoothly, naturally and you'll have loads more fun!

Yeah..
I think it's a bit much for a realationship that short. Cookies = LOVE! They've always said, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. ... or maybe that was a horse...
Either way.
I'm sure he'll LOVE the cookies and painting.
Write him a sweet letter too. :)
But forty-something bucks for the two of you to go to a concert together when you're paying all of it when you've only been going out a couple of weeks... too much.

I honestly think the painting and cookies are enough since you two only have been dating for two and a half weeks. If you want you can also get the Fall Out boy concert tickets. It all depends on how much you really like this kid.
What ever you will get him, I am sure he will love it.
