Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Do something for him. Something you spend little or no money on. Guys appreciate gifts of time and attention more than material things. Makes us feel special.
Ever heard the saying guys are like dogs? It's true. Usually when people say it they're implying we hump anything that moves and sometimes things that don't (pretty true) but for you it's more in the "Few things in life are better than a scratch behind the ears and rubbing our heads" kinda way.
Sit him on the floor in front of you while you're on the couch or something, put on a movie he loves, and rub from his shoulders up his neck to his scalp and back for a few hours. Do this regularly, he'll basically be putty in your hands afterwards.

Love notes are sweet. If you want to give him other things, don't go too overboard.
It would also help to know how old you are. Like if you guys are young, preteen age, and can't really see each other outside of school. Or if you're older teenage years and can hang out outside of school. Or if you're an adult.
It does sound like you guys are somewhere in the beginning of your relationship. I also love "Just because" gifts. So here's some small ideas to show him you care...
-A list of reasons why you like/love him. (Depending on whether you guys have told each other you love each other yet.)
-Candy. If you know his favorite candy bar, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
-A sweet homemade card.
-Homemade lunch.
-Food in general. All guys like food. If you made him cookies or brownies, I'm sure he'd love them.
-Mix tape. If you get a CD and burn some songs that he likes and reminds you of your relationship, he'll enjoy that.
-You can get a sticky note and write something like, "Thinking about you :)" on it and hide it in his backpack/binder/on the dashboard on his car.

Only you know if the relationship is at a point where gifts would be appreciated. If you've known him a very short time, giving him expensive gifts may scare him that the relationship is getting too serious too fast. But then, maybe you are there already at a serious relationship, you didn't give any details to go on.
What would be safe is something like making him a CD of some of his favorite music, burning a disc of some you have on your computer. Another homemade gift is making a batch of his favorite cookies and packaging them up all fancy to give him. If you are crafty and love beading, make him a homemade choker necklace with a pendant on it of something he's into, dolphin, a cross, owl, etc...whatever can be found at a craft store sold like charms for a charm bracelet. I have done all three and they were very much appreciated and since very little money goes into these kinds of gifts, they are seen more as thoughtful and caring rather than too serious. Then after a while of these types of gifts, store bought items will be fine. If he has a favorite sport team, something like a hat or tee with their logo on it. Buying a CD or if they're a movie buff, a DVD.
