I don't know what to get my boyfriend for christmas !
Okay so me and my boyfriend have been dating for 3 days but we have known each other since I was 14 years old and I have no idea what to get the boy for Christmas . He is 25 if that helps any. I talked to his brother to see what he is into and he told me that he liked music and loved to read and liked sports but I don't have much money to spend either please consider i am on a $40.00 a week budget .

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Take him to a concert. Local concerts are usually pretty affordable. :-) Or invite him over to listen to music and get to KNOW him and allow him to get to KNOW you. Get some snacks, hang out, relax, enjoy the moments. No need to stress, I promise. No matter what he will be happy Christmas was spent with you, gift or no gift. Christmas is about LOVE and Family time, not stress, money, and gifts.
Enjoy your Christmas and land lightly into the NEW year!
Much Love, Light, Healing, and Blessings to you and all you Love! <3

Gift cards was a good idea.
If however you want the gift to be more personal, there are a couple other options. Anything created by you or put together by you will have that personal touch...because you put the effort and time into something shows how special he is because buying a ready made gift is too easy.
If he likes music, and you know what types he likes or you have similar tastes, compiling and burning a music CD for him would make a wonderful gift. Add to that a container of homemade Christmas treats.
Allrecipes.com will have all sorts of things that are easy to make. If you choose treat making, let me know, I know a couple of unique easy to do treats that don't require baking.
Buying a unique Christmas mug at a 2nd handstore, filling it with homemade treats is another easy inexpensive thing I did one year for all extended family gifts cus it was a lean year.
If you know how to knit or crochet, make him a scarf in his favorite colors. Find out from brother if you dont already know. Some yarns have 3 or 4 colors that are all complimentary in the same yarn bundle. I also do homemade jewelery and have made manly choker necklaces for several boyfriends and now husband in the past. Craft stores will sell the pendant to go on it, like a cross, a dolphin, etc. You'd have to know what genre is his favorite to read. And if you're creative at writing, and love it, create a short story, put it on a chip, take to copy center to have them print on consequtively on both sides of paper and holepunch so you can put it into one of those paper colored binders.
Or have a photographer friend take some glamour shots of you and use the best one to print up and put in a nice frame to give as a gift. Although thats something more for people who have been dating longer, however you know how important you are to each other in such a short time

There are so many things that you can get that aren't expensive.
Get something that you think he'd like. Like if you saw something while you were walking around and was like, "That's something he'd like."
Although it is harder when you haven't been dating very long. In that case, you can never go wrong with gift cards. Guys like food, so maybe a place where you both can go on a date together. Or even Gamestop , Barnes and Noble, some music or sports store, ect.
One year I made my boyfriend a little gift basket. I bought a basket, put a bunch of little travel size guy things in it, a gift card, brownies and cake pops, a home made card and some other things I thought he'd like.
My parents also bought him two movie tickets from Costco so we both can go see a movie together.
Just be creative. It's hard to shop for guys even though it seems simple. You always want to get him the perfect gift. Whatever you decide to get him, he'll love it.

Doll, You don't need a butt load of money to get someone a nice gift.
Here are some very nice ideas that are in the $40.00 range. One thing you can't go wrong on is gift cards, These not only make a good gift but can be used anytime.
Movie Tickets - It's a perfect catch, Some theaters even offer discount on tickets one day a week! You can purchase the Movie Ticket package and use it on discount day.
Restaurant gift card
Does he like video games? How about Gamestop?
Frame a picture of the two of you if you have one too.
You do not need to go expensive, You never do. My husband and I have been together for 6 years and it's from the heart not about getting the bang for your buck.
