Hey everyone :) !

So my boyfriend's 22nd Bday is coming up in a few weeks and I am starting to get quite desperate for present ideas..! I always find it SOO difficult to come up with ideas for guys... :X

So if anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, just throw them out there!!

I was thinking of a weekend getaway somewhere in Europe (we are based in London), so like Venice or something but that may turn out to be complicated/expensive so I'm desperately looking for any possible alternatives!

    I'm a simple guy. If my girl got me a b-day present, it would be a sammich with bacon in 1 hand, a cold beer in the other hand. I'd be happy with that.

    hmm dunno is he a sports guy? maybe shirt/hat of favorite team?

    lmao@sammich after sex... I personally don't like when my girlfriend spends money on me for birthdays and christmas and those kind of things... so she sneaks stuff in at other times ("I found a really good deal on these pants, or this shirt"...) personally I'd be much more open to her getting a little creative and spicing it up a little bit... buy something for herself that works for both of us if you get my drift... but a sammich afterwards might taste good too... lol

    Oh yeah just to add, don't try to make that sammich healthy either! It's missing an ingredient too. Make sure you put just a touch of coarse salt on the tomatoes after the bacon. Alternate the bacon too so you get the perfect meaty/fatty bite each time mmm. I think I'll make this tonight actually

    You can get great deals on Eurostar. Much simpler than flying.

    I recommend the Michelin guide for hotel or B&B choice. You get an even better selection if you choose 'More options' and then 'Michelin guide hotels'. See:

    Paris is lovely. Avignon is fantastic but I think direct trains start in July.

    You could also try Dublin, Bath, York, Edinburgh, the Lake District. Perhaps a balloon flight or something.

    OMG Sammiches LMAO!!!!! they are the best right after.........But like the above poster said when I was with girls I HATED WHEN they spent money on me, I rather just have something small and be able to have her all to myself for one day. Never go to dinner bc no man should ever let his woman pay for that type of stuff! EVER! Def sex though thats always a plus but just a card with kind words to show him how you really feel. Thats all I ever wanted.
