Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Valentines Day and Feb. 22nd are quite a way off which is good as there's a ton of time to get to know him better and make decisions.
That's a plus so you won't have to make a split second choice and not get it right. I know you're 25 but what I recommend for younger advice seekers still applies. Find someone who knows him quite well be it a friend, his sister if he has one, and especially his mom.
Tell them how much you love him and that you've only been dating for a few weeks but want to really surprise him with a gift he will really remember. Get their ideas as that may lead you to a great choice.
Mention to them that your funds are tight and you are saving for both dates hence the urgency to find the right item and be able to afford it.
The other thing is you may need to keep it simple. Perhaps for valentines day you can make a fancy dinner and romantic evening at home. It's little things like that which may mean more than a store bought gift.

You've only dated two weeks dear. He may seem like the one, but spending what little money or saving it up to buy him something when you don't know whether he will still be around then is thinking too far ahead. Unless the both of you have verbally made a commitment to date only each other. However, commitments like that don't come so early on when the two need to date for a while to discover first if this is someone they want to commit to. During this discovery period of dating there are no gifts required. Did he get you a Christmas gift. If he did, then he thinks alot like you and I would go ahead and create something handmade for him. If he did not get anything and he has not made a heart commitment to you by Valentines day yet, then don't expect to recieve anything from him.
If you're the only one buying gifts and he isn't, it could make you look desperate for a guy.
If you can tell that the relationship is getting serious quickly by how he goes out of his way to uphold you and support you, say encouraging things, compliment, do special things, even ordinary things without having to be asked, then its appropriate to compliment back, a guy needs to feel needed and appreciated. And doing special little things to show how much you appreciate him will say much more than a store bought gift anyways. A homemade coupon book is a wonderful gift. One coupon could be for a relaxing scalp massage or a shoulder rub, another he turns in to get you to bake him a batch of cookies, another could say its good for one big Bear hug, or a late night call just to hear your voice, a bowl of popcorn and watching a DVD his choice at home, 20 kisses in a row... you get the idea. A homemade candlelight dinner, once you discover what some of his favorite foods are is thoughtful and great for a birthday and then if he wants to do anything else, knowing you have no money he can pay jsut to have your company along for rollerskating, bowling, going dancing or out to a movie. There must be other things based on your talents. going out dancing or to a movie after If you're great at writing, write a poem, romantic, or funny stuff incorporting the things you mentioned he likes.
