Okay so my boyfriend has already mentioned to me that he was so excited to see my reaction to his christmas present and he's kind of a romantic type. I'm not all that romantic or anything and I have no idea what to get him. We haven't been together for too long so I don't see him all that much so I don't know him that well. And even if i did I still would have trouble. I'm really bad at getting people presents. I want to get him something cute, but kinda generic i guess... not in a lame way though. HELP?!?!

also, for previous gifts, i made guys handmade things. 1- its cheaper. 2- its more unique that way. 3- they'll remember it and you
try baking him a cake, make him a scarf, sing him a song or make a cd, sometimes its just small things that could make him happy. one time i told a guy that the present i wanted was to go sledding and then sip hot chocolate after by the fire place and watch a movie. yes i know its not really that special or unique, but it makes me happy. and that exactly what we did and i had a blast :)
try having a "him" day. where the whole day is just about him. he gets to pick what to do and you spend the whole day together just doing the things he wants.
another idea is making "coupons". i did this one too. make little coupons that say- good for one kiss. good for one massage. good for one homemade meal. and he can give you a coupon whenever in return of the thing on the coupon.
or do something silly.. like go to petsmart and buy him a pet goldfish and you guys could name it and take care of it together.

Like they say, "It's the thought that counts". As long as you put alot of thought and love into it, he should love it.

For example, I bought a keychain that split in half, but when put together they magnetically attached to eachother and it was a boy & girl holding hands and kissing. It was so cute. Also, I have a ring that breaks in two, and when put together makes a heart.
Kind of like the best friend necklaces / bracelets you can get, but for boyfriends and girlfriends :)
