My little bro is turning 18. I have no idea what to get him. I want to get him something unique and something he'll remember.

As a soldier who has just returned from deployment, I can say a small gift that is durable to keep with me at all times to know that the person I love is still there waiting for me. If hes like most of the guys I was with, deep down they really do care for stuff like that. remember something small and durable that will fit in a pocket or onto a dog tag chain like a laminted pic. or a thin ring with your names engraved on it. Things that are bulky and hard are uncomfortable underneath the body armor. Good luck.

Pokemon cards? You are completely idiotic. Do you not remember being a teen? Why do you assume they are so imature?\n\nAnyways, Im really not very good at gift giving but maybe you could try a watch, cologne, a shirt or hat of his favorite team, or a CD of one of his favorite bands. You could also burn him a CD. Maybe even tickets to a concert for you and him if you are willing to splurge. If none of the above, gift cards always work.

You can still give him a gift. Something you can't buy. Something that you have made just for him - a painting or something like that :)

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).

Whenever I'm in that situation (for anyone, not just boyfriends) I make a list of everything he or she likes. Try to be as specific as possible. As you're making the list you might start to come up with some possible ideas. My boyfriend (who buys everything he wants and is consequently extremely difficult to shop for) just had a birthday and I did the same thing for him. The list was ridiculously long, but I ended up buying him season 1 of Stella, an incredibly stupid sitcom that lasted only 10 episodes. Anyway, he absolutely loved it. He said that it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever bought him and that he wouldn't even have thought of buying himself that. So give it a try-- maybe you'll come up with the perfect gift! Good luck!

something homemade maybe.\n\nim thinking for my boyfriend's 18th birthday in a few weeks, im going to give him a cute 5x7 of myself, in a frame, and like have a speech bubble attached that says "i love you!"\n\n/shrugs\n\nas far as actually purchasing something, that depends on his tastes. if you know he lovvves a certain kind of cologne, buy him some. \n\nmaybe even a cd he really wants.. or a shirt you think he'd like.

You could give him a hand written card to thank him, being as specific as you can.  He might keep it and treasure it forever.

Get him something small and simple like this http://www.giftweblog.com/2006/11/02/rugged/

Photo albums engraved with their last name or initials on the cover, those are nice.  Or how about some nice silver photo frames in 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 sizes?  My other idea is to think of something that they both enjoy doing together (for example, camping, tennis, etc) and get them something that involves that.  If they both like the outdoors you could get them a BBQ grill set.

Well, if you ever need to get them a present, take a look at "The Duct Tape Book". I included a link to it on Amazon.

Maybe a few new movies? A nice warm sweater? Books? Does he like cologne, I have 2 new favorites, Ralph Lauren Polo Double Black and Carolina Hererra for Men, smell so good! Maybe you could put together a Scrapbook of pictures of your years together? I hope you find something!! Good Luck and Happy Holidays!!

Something from the comforts of home. When my brother was in the Navy (pre- 9/11) we'd send him care packages filled goofy crap: cereal (like Lucky Charms or something that he loved as a kid), cookies, gum, candy, all kinds of junk food - that's apparently a hot commodity. Letters, cards, stuff like that. Something that would make him smile from either the sheer hilarity of it or be touched that someone thought to do it. \nGood luck!

That's very sweet of you. I think you should get him a gift certificate to his favorite store or if there's anything he's been hinting at wanting then you should get it for him. It's not easy to give specific suggestions because I don't know what types of things your husband likes but whatever you give from your heart I'm sure he will love it.
