    Many years ago, when my husband was my BFF, I bought 12 small-medium gifts and did the 12 days of Christmas for him. I wrote on the tags "On the first day of Christmas my good friend gave to me...", "On the second day of Christmas my good friend gave to me...", etc. He still remembers what I did all these years later :heart:

    i love that idea! what are some of the small gifts you gave him?

    Pick a destination point somewhere to do a quick weekend road trip.

    Go here:
    http://www.ghosttowns.com/

    Find some awesome ghost towns between where you are and your destination. Bring your camera. Take your time, nail him somewhere along the way so he'll remember this trip. And have fun at your destination.

    And if you nail him to a fence or tree you won't have to share snacks on the way home or worry about getting him gifts ever again.

    This is an unintended benefit, but it's true.

    Guys don't care about creativity. Get him a gadget.

    Never again with I buy any type of gadget or electronics for a guy. I bought my now ex boyfriend a PS3 as a 2yr anniversary gift..he hardly got off the damn thing!! Hence why he is my ex.

    Beer, HJ, order a pizza, ask him if he needs you to make a sandwich, and don't forget to track your calories and exercise!

    And there are a lot of stores (even amazon.com) that allow you to search "techie" gifts by price, rating, etc. GL!

    I just realized later on you said gadgets are a no go.

    Sephora has a cologne sampler for $50 that he can later redeem for his favorite. That would make a good little gift for the 12 days of Christmas. VS lingerie is another just about $50 gift he can unwrap off of you, make him dinner...

    Do you live near any nice casinos? Weekend nights are about $350.
    Shows in casoinos are cheap, though, so you can make it a complete night.

    A "gadget"? Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

    I got my boyfriend a new cool backlit keyboard and pre-ordered Diablo 3, and last year he got Guinness glasses, Burberry Brit and a 8 pack of Guinness beer. I try to pick something other than me he loves and get creative with a related gift that he can use daily.

    my partner is easy i get him more hours for his helicopter license (expensive but easy) but im sure you guy would love something like that. with all those cheap deal websites and adrenalin gift ideas theres so many options and they dont have to be expensive - sky diving, rally car driving etc.

    This is an aussie site that has a lot of those at cheap prices - i know its not locationally good for you but might give you some good ideas and then you can look for some in your own country.

    http://www.adrenalin.com.au/

    in the past (with exs) ive always gone for things i know he is into to. one ex i got more warhammer for his collection, another i got some books, sex toys they always go down well lol and ive done the previously suggested gift wrapped self before too....i think its good to find something that he likes that suits him and get that. have a think about what he is into and what is going to be something he'd like.... or go for your simple typical boy presents what ever works best for you!

    LMAO. My Boyfriend is easy. We live together and I kow he loves his games. But only the ones he realy gets into. There is one I am going to get him but have to wait till I have the money. Its not a cheap game but I know he will love it. It sucks being a broke Uni Student with no SUpport.

    A coupon book of things you can do for him... take that any way you want. I actually asked my husband for coupons for foot massages.

    This. But make sure it's for things *he* wants (not what you wish he would give you!), especially if they're a little bit of a pain for you to do, so you don't do them often, like a steak dinner, special desserts, whatever he likes in the bedroom, etc. And you can throw in a couple of blank coupons that he can fill out (if you're brave enough....).

    If your BF has a touch screen device they now make gloves that let you use your phone without taking your gloves off. I've seen pairs for as little as $25 online and I know Macy's sells some if you want to go and try them out in person.
