Comin' from a guy this straight up...he wants u to get him somethin', but he don't care wut it is...u know wut he doesn't like so as long as u stay away from that stuff he'll be kool...he wants u...thats wut he wants, thats wut he always wants, thats all he wants...the other stuff is just added benefits...i don't know if yall are sexual or waitin' but if yall are, then he would greatly appreciate somethin' different...not that u ain't already great or wutever, but a setting change or a new position or some different clothing will always make him happy...u don't even have to buy anything really...he doesn't need candles and all that, if u just let him walk in the door and let him take u on the kitchen table or against the front door or out on the balcony i guarantee he will luv u for it...if yall are not that far yet then a nice dinner and a new outfit would will suffice...

The boyfriend doesn't respect the gift he bought for you - and doesn't respect you.  Is it your gift or a leftover?  It sounds like you need a new boyfriend.

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.

How about making him a c.d of songs you think he would like? It's technically not buying him anything, but it's still a thoughtful gift. How about making him dinner or taking him on a picnic? Maybe he just wants to hang out with you. Make a card for him and tell him you'll give him a backrub or take him somewhere he likes to go. It's the little things that seem to be the best gifts. :)\n\nGood luck!

If you are going to give a gift card - make it a game for him to find it so that the gift IS personal.\n\nI made up computer generated "coupons" for all sorts of services (including adult content things) and left post-it notes all over the house telling him where to go next like a scavenger hunt...sometimes he got "favors", sometimes there were silly things like a Snickers bar or a bottle of wine...when he finally got to the end of the trip, he found the card inside a pair of underwear (that I was wearing) that said "both of these are for you"...\n\nIt was fun and he has asked me for a gift card again!!!

First rule - never give men expensive gifts until he is very serious about you (engaged). Just get him something he likes, CD, and something yummy to eat and yourself with a big red bow. I seen it happen many times - a girl "hears" he is getting her something really nice so she goes out and breaks the bank on him and when the guy ends up getting her something small because he changed his mind or couldnt afford it, the girl feels like a real idiot, and the guy feels the same. Dont go there. Remember it IS the thought that counts. \nHave fun!

I don’t know how sentimental you both really are, but something that comes directly from the heart would mean more than a materialistic item.  I would make him a book of all the things you both have done over the last 2yrs.  Including pictures, funny sayings, “remember when’s” saved emails, love letters, etc.  An anniversary is a time to recap all the wonderful moments you have shared together!

A giftcard is always a nice idea. Try to find a store he loves and either find a giftcard, or a brand new item he hasn't heard or seen yet.

I did this for our first married christmas.  If you remember what he told you he always wanted when you first started dating (if you have not already bought this for him of course) get that for him.  He will be really impressed that you remembered and you went out and bought it.  \nExample: When we first started dating, he told me he always wanted a pocket watch after seeing the one my mother gave my father for their wedding present.  Two christmas's later, I bought a stunning silver pocket watch with our initials engraved in it.  He was so touched by the fact that I remembered, the watch really did not matter anymore.   \nIf you cannot think of something like that, plan something that would mean a lot to him, even if you are not too thrilled about it.  Sometimes, even though you do not think you would like something like that, you find that both of you are having the time of your lives!

If you really like him, get him a nice card-not TOO "mushy" but one he knows you put a lot of thought into. You know how 7th grade boys are, please don't embarrass him in front of classmates at school. It's not the $ or the size of "gift" that counts, it's that it comes from the heart. If he's a smart as you seem to think he is, he'll know that you like him, and cared enough NOT to make a scene just for show.  good luck!

I would be a little irritated, but not for too long. Obviously your b/f is kind of taking liberties with the expectations of a gift, and of course when you exchange gifts everyone expects some type of equitable balance, but I tell ya, this is just in the U.S!. In general, it's OK for a boyfriend to go all out with a gift just to show his love and appreciation. In latin America, that type of display is actually OK, like filling up a room with roses or bringing a whole band of mariachis to your house to serenade you. Maybe he has that concept of chivalry or something. Just let him be and enjoy it. Maybe go for the $10 stuffed bear instead of the $5.\nOh and P.S. Don't mention anything to him about the cost or how he wasted money. That's rude and hurtful. Trust me, in about 3 years he'll be getting you the $10 bear at Walgreens.

do what you need to do! was there something you two did at the beginning of your relationship that you don't do now? if so, do it! try surprising him with something special (not just gifts but if that works for you then do it). Be spontaneous!

Call his house and ask what he likes. Ask for it not to be revealed that you are calling about getting a gift. That way you can get him something you know he will like.

My guess would be it wasn't something you did it was something or some one he wanted to do and couldn't as long as he had a commitment to you. The gift was a nice gesture and if it made you feel better, then it was twice the gift you thought it was. Mend and move on girl. There's one out there for you.

It really depends on how serious the relationship is. A great gift for any boyfriend would be a cd of his favorite artist or group or a t-shirt from his fave name brand. Something simple and thoughtful will do the trick.

It's still early on in the relationship. If you don't feel it's the appropriate amount to spend, I'd talk to him and let him know how you feel.  And maybe come to terms with a spending amount for both of you. I know you may want to get it for him to make him happy, but then you may resent it and this feeling will not be good towards the start of your relationship.  You have to do it from the heart.
