Hi Mandy-Sue! I'm just learning how to do this 'Answers' thing, and since you helped me with my question, (I'm the skinny girl trying to gain weight!), I'll try to give you some V-day ideas... maybe a way to incorporate all the things that you listed as his likes, what about a 'Naughty-but-Nice' basket of goodies: Maybe a video game that he's had his eye on, maybe either a 'coupon' to cook his favorite meal, or reservations to a favorite restaurant (maybe he'll pay if you work it just right!), and/or some 'male' munchies: pretzles, nuts, jerky, chips, beer (if he drinks - a few cans or bottles stuffed in the basket), maybe a magazine of one of his hobbies - they have magazines on video games if you can believe that!, or a subscription to a magazine - those aren't too expensive, and it's a gift that keeps on giving all year! and last but not least...i'll try to keep this clean, but that 'N'-catagory has tons of options! I got my guy something we both enjoyed, and he loved it because it literally put the 'control' in his hand...there are places that sell panties with a small, ummmm, battery-operated device that is 'remote-controlled'! Yep, he had a little trigger that he'd turn on and off at his whim! We went to a bar where he proceeded to 'go order us a drink' and from some secret location, he watched my reaction in mid-sentence with people as he turned that thing on and off! It was a riot! I was hysterical, so was he from afar! We had the best times with that thing! However, they can be pricey ($30-$50)? But, in those same stores, there are countless options! I'm sure you can find something that will fit perfectly in that basket of goodies! Good luck! If you want, let me know what you decided! Take care, kcberry5

Well for the first thing...don't be presured by how much he is spending on you. For you to have to come up with that kind of money is crazy.....men like to do that because it comes from there sense of manhood of being a provider and doing nice things...what I suggest for you is something thoughtful and sweet that doesn't really involve material value....LIKE a back massage or tickets to his favorite little band or something the two of you can do..make him something.....a picture in a cool frame or get creative!! His parents can get him electronic crap.....only you can give him truly personal cute things.

something sentimental\n\nSince you have been together for so long, he doesn't need to be impressed with expensive gifts. Give him something where he knows some thought was put into it.

You can make a "gift certificate book." Each certificate could be something different like, "A Free Massage," "Home Made Dinner of his choice," "Breakfast in Bed," etc.\n\nOr if you've been with him for a while, you can make him a scrapbook with photos, magazine cut outs, inside jokes, movie/concert ticket stubs, etc... \n\nBe creative :)

Well, that depends on the occasion.  \nValentines:  A nice bottle of cologne (like Polo Blue).  Think about how much roses cost on this day....the cologne is a nice match, and lasts wayyy longer.\nAnniversary:  A newly released game (if they play video games), a new golf club (if they play), A season of thier favorite tv show (however stupid it may be lol, they will love it!), I.E. get them something that has to do with their hobby.  It reminds them of how well you know them, and how much you care.\nChristmas:  This one is difficult, I try to zero in on something they need or really want, if they are kind enough to drop hints lol.  A  watch if there is broken, or they have a fine casual one, then if they have that - buy them a "nice" one to wear on special occasions or when they need to look nice.  Seasons tickets to a sport they like, if you can afford it.  Interior covers for thier vehicle, stearing wheal cover, floor mats, a cd holder for their sun visor, and a customized gear shift ball .  ( you can buy these at an autozone or even wal mart )  Basically a car make over, \nB days:  Take him to a movie he wants to see (no matter how stupid you think it is), Find your local race track and take him to a race, they are cheap and the guys love em!  Order a pizza, and play his favorite game - od do whatever he likes at home, Take him to the mall and buy him an outfit, then go out later that night so he can show it off.  The idea with the b day is to do something together while making him feel special on his day.\nI hope this helped.  Guys are just like us, they like to be given thoughtful gifts too!  And they too are thrilled when they get something they really want, or something that lets them know - hey I have been paying attention to you and I really care!  \n: )  So go on spoil them too!

I would just to spend time with my special guy, what we do wouldn't really matter, it could be a candlelight dinner for two, a picnic on the beach, a Valentine's couple-only party...it really doesn't matter. Just buy or make hime something nice and tell him how u feel about him and hopefully he'll do the same and u'll both a magical day/night.

I think you should get him a card and think of something he is really in to and try to incorporate that into your gift. Guys aren't all that big on receiving things for valentines day because they figure it's really the "female" hoilday.  So just make it very sweet and thoughtful! And if all fails..you can perform a striptease for him...when he comes home from work have a trail of rose petals leading from the door to the bathroom where you will be waiting in a bubblebath with rose petals in the tub and chocolate and champagne on the side. Then you will tell him how much you love and appreciate everything he has done for you and that you are glad that you two have found true love in each other!! Let me know if I was helpful...

something tasteful and personal, but not too personal. Lik a gift basket or something. Don't give the female bath products. Try tea and cookies instead. For the guy, some small tech thing is usually welcomed. you can get nice stuff of this nature without spending too much, too. www.gifts.com can help, too

First off, I'd like to say that angel_baby0824's idea is super romantic :)  Now, I decided to get my boyfriend a ring this year (one for him, one for me kind of thing).  You can get them with any message on them at http://www.personalizationmall.com  But, they also have TONS of other great ideas.  They even have a Romantic Gifts section.  Good luck :)

I think that the best present is one that you can make for him.  A "coupon" book with things that you would do for him.  A backrub, a romantic dinner ect... Present it to him while you guys are out to eat for V-day or make him a V-day dinner.

How about making him a c.d of songs you think he would like? It's technically not buying him anything, but it's still a thoughtful gift. How about making him dinner or taking him on a picnic? Maybe he just wants to hang out with you. Make a card for him and tell him you'll give him a backrub or take him somewhere he likes to go. It's the little things that seem to be the best gifts. :)\n\nGood luck!

this year i got my boyfriend a really nice watch. i've framed pictures of us as a gift before. one time he gave me an engraved photo album filled with pics of us so you can try this too. make it something meaningful, maybe buy tickets for his favorite baseball team or a concert for a band he loves.

Let it go... Don't bug him about a 3 mth anniversary.. You can do that if you get married to him, but not while dating. You'll just scare him away if you annoy him with this!!

Something sentimental is always a plus. Think about what your girlfriend is into, and try to be creative with that. Flowers on the side always makes me feel special when I recieve that from my guy though.

How about a savings bond? (for his mom to get). Or something related to one of his interests. Or take him out to dinner at a really nice place.
