my boyfriend


Question Posted Tuesday January 6 2009, 12:41 pm

i'd really like to do something nice for my boyfriend, just because. something that doesnt cost a lot but means a lot.
i've made him a cd for him before of all the songs that remind of us each other.. and for the front and back cover i custom designed it with pictures of us. he loves it.. he listens to it everytime he's in his car.

i really want to do something else like that for him because he's such a great boyfriend and i want him to know how much he really means to me.
any ideas?
thanks a bunch! :)

Seriously, go to Shutterfly and make him a picture book, I think a 20 page book runs about 23 to 25 bucks (not sure how much you wanted to spend, but its about the price of a DVD these days)
The books are hardback and look totally professional like something you would see in a bookstore.
You can fill it with pictures of you two, and it would really catch some compliments. (I have one myself and people love to flip through it)

My boyfriend basically never lets me pay for anything. I finally paid for movie tickets last week. It was an accomplishment. =)

Anyway, the little things are, in my opinion, what matters the most. Buy him a coffee (or whatever he likes to drink) when he doesn't expect it. Make crazy plans- or stay home and play games. Do what he wants to do (even if it means bugging him for three hours to decide what he wants). If he's always driving you around, pay for gas once in awhile. If you can drive, offer to drive for the day. Things like that.


You know your boyfriend way more than we do. Surely he's mentioned hobbies, interests, favorite TV shows, stores he likes. Buy him something related to that (that's within your budget) and he'll love that you remembered. Example: my boyfriend ripped the little thing off the top of his favorite baseball hat- long story. So at some point I'll buy him a new one!


And as a general rule, guys love food. Take him out to dinner, and insist that you foot the bill, not him.


Best of luck!

I think making something is probably the best plan..its a lot more personal.
I had this problem a few months ago, and I decided to cook my boyfriend a big dinner, with all the food he really likes. I served it on a fancy table, with candles and everything. He really loved it, and its something that both of you can enjoy, and make memories together. You could also make him a really nice card, and leave it in his locker, or some place where he'll find it when you're not around. Or perhaps a little 'treasure hunt' of different things...to lead him to you!
hope that helps xoxo

Think of something he could have to remind him of you everyday, even when you're not with him :) a lot of guys I know like wearing jewelry, such as dog tags or cool stones on a ball-chain necklace :) you know, guy jewelry. You could buy a chain pretty cheap and then make him something to put on it :) there are plenty of things at hobby lobby (if you have one near you) you can use to make things. OR, you could draw a picture for him, write a poem, write a song [some guys think it's cute, even if you can't sing ;)], or make him a homeade card :D I think it's great you just want to give him a gift for no reason :) Hope I helped!
