    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.

    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.

    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:

    What a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing!

    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....).

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

    This.

    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.

    ^^This is very cool, I will have to check it out!

    As far as the guy gift, seriously, it all depends on the guy when it comes down to it. Gadgets are great but not all guys are as tech savvy as we think (it still amazes me how techtarded my boyfriend is). The coupon book is great but don't go overboard with lovey dovey romantic stuff or it will end up on a shelf being forgotten about.

    In most cases there are 3 things that will win no matter what, SEXY, TASTY, and EXCITING. If there is a Six Flags or the equivalent that's a pretty awesome day out. Or a beer garden for tasty :love:

    When all else fails, gift cards are the gift that keeps on giving.

    If he loves sports, something with his favorite teams logo? My husband is really into cars and I have no clue what he really needs for. He loves the show 'Big Bang Theory' so I got him one of "Sheldon's" shirts.

    This year I was in a complete rut for my husband on what to get him. Last year I got him some clothes (boring I know), but I also got him ps3 games. Well this year I did not want to get him the same so instead what i did was jumped onto ticket master looked at everything in our area and got him two tickets to WWE smackdown. (yes he's a nerd and watches smackdown, have to admit... he got me into it so the other ticket is for me ;). )

    But, I know that is a something he is going to love and it isnt the typical. I searched ALL over the internet and found the cheapest tickets and only spent $60 for each. So I suggest doing something like that, what guy wouldn't love going to a show and seeing their favorite artist or going to a football game?

    As a massage therapist, I see many women introducing their husbands or boyfriends to a professional massage. This is something a lot of guys won't do for himself. If you think he is timid about going alone, book a couples massage. I will tell you that 100% of my shy guys who thought that they would not like a massage have rebooked. A few have come back to get gift cards for their wives or girlfriends! So it becomes a gift that keeps on giving!
