All I Got Him is a Pink and White Teddy Bear
My boyfriend and I are both in our early twenties, and I am looking for a great gift for him. The two of us have been together for almost two years, and this is the first year that I am getting anything for this specific day. Usually I get him really cool sports-related gifts, since that, Magic: The Gathering, and World of Warcraft are his main interests; for example for his birthday last July I purchased him Yankee tickets and we saw them play on Labor Day... he absolutely loved it.
I am extremely nervous right now since all I got J (my boyfriend) a white-and-pink teddy bear for Valentines Day, so far. The main reason is because I wanted to see my man's reaction when he saw that his girlfriend got him a very girly teddy bear, since I know that he has higher expectations from me... it is meant to be a gag gift. I was thinking of something sexy, like condoms – since he always says that he wants to use them and we never do... the two of us cannot afford a baby right now. But at the same time, I do not want for J to be like, “So first of all, she got me a girly teddy bear... now she buys me condoms... and what's this, a coupon book?” (I really like that idea for him, since as a young couple we are both highly sexual.)
Either way, I would really like to get my boyfriend a very hot and naughty gift. When I was looking at cosmopolitans list of sexy gifts, one of the suggestions was a panty-gram. I would really like to do something like that... but I keep thinking, women's underwear (even if there is a naughty message from me inside) and a pink and white teddy bear – what is he going to think? In my opinion, my J is very masculine and I just want to make him laugh... I do not want to make him feel insecure about my opinion of him.
Another issue is that I do not have much money, I am a college student and the only income that I have right now is from work study (and peer mentoring, which I will not have many hours for this semester). What are some suggestions for me to make up for the pink and white teddy bear gag gift?
While I sincerely do appreciate everyone's advice, I would really like it if a man between the ages of 21-30 responded to this question.

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
You could buy some sexy lingerie, give him a strip tease/ lap dance, anything that will tease him. Only thing you would have to pay for is lingerie but you can find something sexy online for cheap. He will love it!

I think condoms are an awesome idea! If you REALLY wanna get freaky, you should buy something that will spice things up in the bedroom. Such as: a vibrator(most men would kill to see their woman pleasure herself, plus it's a nice gift for you!), flavored lube(can you say "yummy BJs?"), fuzzy hand cuffs/blindfold, porn, etc. None of these things are over 20 dollars :).

Okay my advice us going to be a bit ...well, honest.
People say its the thought that counts yes, while that may be true I tend to think slong the terms of something they will like. A pink teddybear is not really something I would give a guy. Maybe go with a gift card to his favorite restaraunt along with a card and a box of candy. A teddybear is not something you can really use and would most likely sit on a shelf. Maybe it would be cute as a gift for the girl but not the guy...

I think you have forgotten it's not the gift you buy that counts but the love behind it. Don't second guess yourself because you know what he's like and would love better than anyone here. Go with your gut.
You're also a creative gal who wants to do something original or that he will really get a kick out of.
I would suggest taking the bear and adding the coupon book, message etc, the gag gift you both talk about and a dinner you make yourself and bundle it together as one surprise. He may be masculine to the hilt but I know his heart will melt when he sees how hard you tried. It's not about the cost it's about symbolism and if that bear means something to you and he understands that it'll be fine.
As far as naughty gifts go if you did go that route and are 18+ any adult novelty place would have staff well educated on what could be a good idea for little cash as a valentine's day couple thing. But... I think sticking to what you already came with and consolidating all 3 ideas would more than be sufficient for any guy.
