I always think that for a big birthday you should go for something 'one-off'. What is he into? Here's some ideas (most of which you'll be able to find on ebay).\n\nMusic - First edition, signed records\nBooks - As above\nTrainers - Get the original trainers (not re-release). Loads of sites out there like deludedmonkey.com\nSport - Is he into a particular team? Get him a signed shirt.\n\nBlokes always love gadgets as well, although there's something not terribly 'special birthday' about them (other than the price). You could try an ipod with a laser engraved message.\n\nOr... how about you take him away for a weekend? Take him to something he'll love e.g. a really cool gig, a sports game (where you won't moan!) or maybe a romantic break...

You should buy his.  If its important to you that they match, you should shop together.  If not, get something you think he will wear.  For example, does he like yellow or white gold?  With or without little diamonds?  Designs or not?  Talk to him about his preferences so you will have a better idea.\nCongrats and best wishes!!

I had a similar boyfriend like you do - it is not as if he was stingy, he was just lazy, ignorant, and didn`t care for my feelings. After some time, we broke up, but I never did forgive him for not buying me b-day presents - it is not the present that is important, but the fact that the person who doesn`t buy ones have some deeper issues and doesn`t really match with my picture of ideal partner. You`ve been together for some time,I see,but better leave him now because he will never learn this lesson.Find another that will treat you nice! You deserve it, be aware of that!!!

OMIGOD girl, my guy has forgotten so many annaversaries, or just been broke on my birthday.  It's incredible, he's been doing good for the last few years.  I still love him.  If you really care about the guy, give him another chance.

1st of all 2 years is a fairly long time not to know what to get someone for there birthday. Anyway to me my 25th was nothing special so you dont have to worry about doing anything extra.  The only birthdays that are to made a big deal about is 30,40, 50 etc.  Then it depends on your budget as well as interest.  If you are looking for something somewhat cheap you can get some lingerie and tie a bow around yourself.  a more conservitive approach would be a DVD collection of a television series that he likes.  If he is into sports or concerts 2 tickets to an event is a gift you cant go wrong with in my eyes.  I hope this helps and good luck.\n\nDan

i'm in a long  distance relationship too and for my boyfriend's birthday i got him a dvd of a movie we had seen together.  i made a cd of love songs that make me think of our relationship.  i also gave him a picture frame with a picture of one of the times we were together.  those type of gifts any guy from any type of background might be touched by.  my boyfriend loved it.  hope that might help.

Whenever I'm in that situation (for anyone, not just boyfriends) I make a list of everything they like to do. Try to be as specific as possible. As you're making the list you might start to come up with some possible ideas. My new-ish boyfriend (who buys everything he wants and is consequently extremely difficult to shop for) just had a birthday and I did the same thing for him. The list was ridiculously long, but I ended up buying him season 1 of Stella, an incredibly stupid sitcom that lasted only 10 episodes. Anyway, he absolutely loved it. He said that it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever bought him and that he wouldn't even have thought of buying himself that. So give it a try-- maybe you'll come up with the perfect gift! Good luck!

Check out his likes and dislikes.  Don't ever buy a gift for anyone just to buy a gift.  I couldn't possibly tell you what to buy - it could be totally wrong.  \nOnce you find out his likes and dislikes, go shopping.  You'll know the right gift when you see it.

You should get him something that reminds your both about how you met, or something/someplace that is special to you. You know, something like that.

Call me impersonal, but I'd get him a gift card to Best Buy. The relationship is still young, so you may not know all of his likes and dislikes.  Why risk it? That way you can choose the amount that goes on the card (since I don't know your budget) and he can buy whatever he likes.

Go to the shop two or three times with him and show him that you like that one but you don't want to buy it at that moment. If he loves you, he will buy and bring it to  you on your birth day.

something thoughtful..pay attention to the details...and work with that.  i've been with my bf for 4 yrs...he's 26, and i'm just getting him all of those little extras.  he just ordered a new lcd tv, so i got him a new dvd player and tons of dvd's that mean something to us.  i'm gonna put together an album or a quilt that's made up of our memories (can't decide which one yet)...im basically just going to get a bunch of thoughtful things...i know that it will mean so much more to him than one huge big-priced item.  \n\ni'm hoping for a diamond..haha...

You're passive to the point of being submissive. Stop letting him make you feel bad by his actions. If his heart isn't in the relationship by being there for you in ways that will bring you happiness then my suggestion is for you to make sure he understand exactly what you need from him in order for the relationship to work. If you can't find common ground that creates an equal and mutual happiness then what's the true point of the relationship? To not make the effort to make you special day something to remember is about as selfish and self centered as I can imagine. You deserve better and I think you know this so make changes for you own happiness. If he won't take you out for your birthday then go out with friends and celebrate without him. If you don't have anyone to go out and celebrate with then let me know and I'll go party with you and I don't even know you but it's your birthday and that's reason enough.
