Boyfriend's 18th B-Day
My boyfriend turns 18 in about two months. We'll have been dating 10 months by that time, but we're very serious. We don't want to spend lots of money on each other, but does anybody have any good ideas? I've already given him cds for Valentine's Day. I don't want to give him cologne because he already has some that smells really good. He's not into sports at all. He's into theater and music. He's an incredible singer. Nothing sex related, please.
Does anybody have any suggestions for gifts? My birthday is a month before his, Christmas is just three weeks after his, and our one year is one month after that, then Valentine's day. So any ideas would be wonderful and very much appreciated in the future as well. Absolutely anything will help. Thank you so much. :)

You said your boyfriend is into theater and music. Maybe you could get him a couple books about the history of plays and musicals. If this is an aspiration of his, he'll love reading about and studying from some of the greats. Even if it's merely just a hobby of his, I'm sure he'll appreciate the thought and enjoy it all the same. Books about Shakespeare, Bach, and Beethoven come to mind, but make sure that whatever you get for him caters to his tastes. As far aas CDs go, mix CDs make nice additions to any gift.
I don't know what your budget is, but tickets to a play, musical, or concert would be really nice. There's almost always a community theater around and tickets to see their plays cost very little - sometimes nothing. Maybe you could check to see if there are any colleges nearby putting on student performances. Not only is your boyfriend likely to enjoy seeing a show, but the performers are typically very happy for every person who shows up. Most of the time, the costs of tickets go to charities, organizations, or helping to fund the theater / school.
Lastly, there's something every 18 year old guy likes no matter what he's into ... food. He's a growing boy ... literally! You can't go wrong with food. Taking your guy out to eat will make him happy and it'll give you time to talk and enjoy a meal without family and friends around interrupting your quality time. Another thing you can consider is making him a basket full of treats and decorating it with bows and ribbons and all kinds of things that'll make him think of you. Put a variety of treats in it: cookies, rice krispy treats, brownies, fudge, cupcakes, etc. This will be a homemade gift that will light up his heart and his taste buds!
Good luck. I hope he has a great birthday!
