What is something special to give my guy on a major budget?

Maybe something cheap that only the two of you would find funny.  You could write something for him, unless you do that on a regular basis.  Is there anything small that he needs?  Even if it only cost $1.50, I would be more than happy if my girlfriend got something that I knew she put some thought into, especially if it made me feel like she paid attention to things I needed.  Anything thoughtful will be greatly appreciated by any guy that really cares about you.  My girlfriend did all of my laundry once while I was away on a trip.  It doesn't sound like much, but I loathe doing laundry and always put it off as long as possible-this was about 2 months of laundry she washed, dried, folded, and put away.  I love her more for things like that than when she buys me a CD or DVD.

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.

A gift card to his favorite store. A bottle of his favorite drink.  Cash that is his to spend on what he wants.  Tickets to his favorite sporting events (season tickets if possible).  If he likes football, direct Tv's football package.  Make his favorite food homemade.  Relieve him of some of his hated chores example: promise to mow his yard for the year or for however long, shovel the walk, clean the gutters, paint the house, or hire a handyman to come by once a month, week or what ever to help him out with his "honey do" list.  Arrange for him to spend more one on one time with his children or grandchildren. \n Hope you find something...we face the same issues.   A father-n-law with no real hobbies and he always says he doesn't want anything???

First of all, its not the dollar value that counts but the sincerity.\n\nNot saying it is, but the mattress could have been a free gift he won, or he's just filthy rich.\n\nBut coming back to the real question, for $150, how about:\n - a set of great CDs\n - PS2/XBOX/PSP games\n - a bicycle helmet / skateboard / tennis racket\n - golf club\n - my best suggestion is to organise a surprise party for him. With that money you could prepare all the necessary stuff to convince your other friends to come along.

What about a nice pocket watch and have a personal engraving put on it, or possibly a bow and arrow set for hunting!  My hubby is a huge hunter and alot of times he uses his rifle but a few years ago I got him crossbows and he loves it!  A new rifle is an idea too!  Fishing rod and gear, video game system, Make him a nice basket filled with bubble bath-lotions-candles-sex coupons u make yourself-a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses-  he may look at u weird UNTIL u invite him into the bath with you!  Then he will be very very HAPPY with that gift!  Happy Holidays!  If he smokes a zippo lighter with an engraving.

A great book would be a wonderful gift! Even magazines and other reading material, I think he'd enjoy. Stuff that they can really use. Even stuff like batteries are great because there are limited places they can buy that stuff for their personal use.\nPs. If you have any further questions, you can email me, if you'd like.\n*Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention... also phone cards! That's always a great gift! Or a portable DVD player (if you want to spend that much money).

Give him a new gift, but something small.  Maybe about $5 worth from the dollar store, but make it the good stuff.  Don't stoop to his level, at least he got you a gift.  It's not that big of a deal.

If the gift in question is truly sincere and comes from your heart then go with that. A new regulation football, or a signed one by his fav player, a nice smelling cologne that he likes, clothing that he has interest in, mp3 player, and/or just about anything that he has mentioned that he has a fondness for. If you know him that well you will come to realize these things.\nGood luck and good shopping.\n\n\nps: Take him shopping with you and see what interests him and what stores he frequents. he will eventually and unknowingly show you what he likes or wants.

Bake something yummy. Guys are always impressed by a girl that can bake, something homemade like cinnamon rolls or pumpkin muffins or chewy cookies (don't give them to him if you overbake them, it won't be so impressive), etc. With the baked goods you could give him some anime pens or something, tied to the package with some curling ribbon and a nice card. \n\nI snagged my husband by cooking for him, guys LOVE it :)

It depends on how much you want to spend on him really - and also if you want to get him two rather than one pressie.  If you are in the UK how about something like Red Letter Days (who are no more) used to do?  You know, driving challenges, hot air balloon trips, skydiving etc. - I think Boots and W H Smith do similar ones and I'm sure other high street retailers do too.  How about a magazine subscription for the year for something appropriate?  A personalised number plate - you can get these pretty reasonably priced from DVLA now.  An iPod - or download voucher?  A weekend away somewhere?  Good luck - at least you've still got a few weeks.

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.

Well, if you noticed that he mentions something that he's been "meaning to get", get him that. However, if he's into music, get him tickets to go see his favorite band in concert together or tickets to go see his favorite sports team. \n\nBesides that though, I recommend giving him something sentimental and special too. Go into yahoo and type in "romantic ideas". You'll get some websites with some really creative and sweet crafts/ideas.

Depends on how serious you two are.  You should probably talk to him about that before deciding on what to buy him.
