i was thinking of getting him a throw blanket of his favorite sports team, a pillow for the college hes going to, and i want to make him somethhing for him. he wrote like the story of us for valentines day and i absolutely loved it because it was basically a time line of our relationship. i want to do something along those lines, but every idea i come up with is either really similar, not personal enough, or too corny. i need to come up with something from the heart that shows how much i love him. we dont have a lot of pictures :/ open to any ideas. and what do you think about the blanket and pillow? thanks!
Okay, that was being a little snarky (though it's not entirely so), but you can pass on giving him any of the stuff you mentioned. The reason is if he doesn't like something then he knows it will make you feel bad and he will be uncomfortable doing the damage control necessary to hide his lack of enthusiasm for your present.
The thing that makes this difficult is that I get the vibe that he doesn't live in the same vicinity now as you do. I was going to suggest that you meet him, strip down to some hot lingerie and give him a lapdance and then screw his brains out. He will get the message then. Definitely don't put anything on video. That will certainly end up on the net at some point.
Is there a chain restaurant he likes? Some of them have gift certificates. You can send him a care package of his favorite food and drink (though that may seem like a "mom" move, but still, pretty cool).

It can even be an animal that maybe you two like, or that has some personal significance. A teddy is something he can sleep with every night that he's away from you, and something he can pick up and cuddle when he misses you. You could even spray a little bit of perfume on it to make it smell like you.
I got a teddy bear for my ex boyfriend when we were dating because I thought it looked like him, and he absolutely adored it! I have a best guy friend that lives overseas, and he sent me a teddy bear with a little ribbon of his countries flag on it to make me feel closer to him (and I love it to pieces!)
I think the best thing you can make is a card. Maybe you can take his idea and change it a little, like maybe writing about the way you feel about him? And maybe just things you've thought about him that you've never told him? If you've got a bit of talent, why not try drawing something for him, like a picture of him and you? If you know how to sing or play guitar, why not write a song for him? It is super corny, but he will definitely love it. [ xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx's advice column | Ask xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx A Question ]

Little things he does every day, or the big things he's done to make you feel special. Basically anything you love about him [ MissYMelisS's advice column | Ask MissYMelisS A Question ]
