First of all, I wanna say that you sound SO sweet and thoughtful. I hope your boyfriend really appreciates you. I've shown your question to a couple of my guy friends and even they said "awwwww how adorable." :) This has nothing to do with your question, but here's an extra piece of advice: don't ever lose those qualities! Kindness and thoughtfulness are qualities that are very rare in today's world. To see it shine as brightly as I (and my friends) see it shine in your question, is refreshing, inspiring, and really, really cool. Thank you for making my day brighter.
Now, moving on to the question at hand...
I would advise that you come out and ask him what he wants for his birthday. Ask him to make a small list and get him to think of a couple things he wants. You may discover that what he really wants isn't even that expensive. Even if it is, you can get him something like it instead of that specific thing. For example, if he says he wants a game that costs $59.99, maybe you can get him a similar game that costs $29.99 or maybe you can get him a gift card so he can put it towards purchasing the game that he wants. If he's a sweet person like you, he'll be thankful for whatever you give him.
As far as the sour worms go, I think it's a sweet idea. Who doesn't love candy? The only thing I'm concerned with is the fact that boys aren't as appreciative towards thoughtful gestures as us girls are, so I don't want you to get hurt if he's not as thankful for it as he should be. Still, I say go for it. Like the person who answered before me said, I'd put them in a jar or maybe a heart shaped canister or something creative and hand made. Also, you might consider making him a CD of songs the two of you like that'll make him think of you. Or maybe you could write him a sweet poem.
Just remember two things:
1. Home made gifts are a bit risky, especially when they're given to a guy, but if you give them to the right person they will always be appreciated. It's a very sweet gesture to show your love for him on his birthday, and hopefully his response makes you happy and appreciated. If it doesn't, don't let it get you down too much. Guys are "special" and don't often comprehend or acknowledge how much time and effort we put into certain things. I'm hoping, for your sake and for his, it goes really, really well.
2. Girls tend to get in the habit of getting guys what they think they want instead of just asking them what they want. That can be annoying. Right now, at 16, it's completely fine, but don't make a habit of it in the future. Girls are very specific about what they want. Boys aren't. That's why when guys get older, they always end up getting socks and ties for special occasions and we always end up getting jewelry and whatever we want. As nice a deal as that is for us, it isn't fair for the guy. So make sure he gets what he wants too.
I hope this helps. And if you need any more help or feel like telling me how the birthday goes, feel free to email me. :)

That sounds good. You should also try to make him something, like a card. Things you made by yourself are always meaningful and I'm sure he'll appreciate the thought you put into it. If you have pictures together, make and decorate a little scrapbook. Good luck!

Why don't you get some kind of decorative jar with a lid and fill it with gummy worms? Get him an extra bag or two to refill it.
You can't go wrong with what he loves, and buying a decorative jar (or something similar) would save money compared to buying shirts.
