In december, when I had just started seeing him, my boyfriend performed in The Nutcracker.  I sent him a Nutcracker gift basket to wish him luck, or as dancers say, Merde.\n\nNext, his ballet company is performing Sleeping Beauty, and I need ideas on something cute to get him.  Any inspirations, or ideas about where I can go to get him something?

Lucky girl, ballet guys are hot!\n\nKnit him warm-ups, that would be an awesome thing to do.\nNureyev was never seen without his on until right before he went on.\n\nSew the word Merde into his shoes, in red, since the Chinese believe it's good luck.  \n\nMake him a good luck dinner FULL of carbs and protein the night before opening.  Energy and love from you!  That should stay with him alright!

Leave him a note posted on the door, spray it with your favorite perfume and sign in with a kiss... saying.. please take your shoes off and leave your brief case ( if he carries one ) at the door and help me pick a few things along your way. I'm upstairs in the bedroom/ bathroom .. leave one glass.. few feet down another one.. then a champagne/wine bottle.... bowl of strawberries/grapes ( favorite fruit ) ... .be in your place of choice.. on the bed .. lights turned down candles.. soft music.. nice lingerie.. or in the bath tub.. same as above minus the lingerie hehe ...Thank him for helping .. and then you two take it from there... Best of luck..

Flowers are nice. Depends on how secure he is and if he actually likes flowers. I like the thought behind the gift much more than the gift. If someone remebered that I said I liked something once. Or paid attention to things I like and got some (like Zero brand candy bars) Stuff like that. But that's just me.

Well, Im glad you asked. Every girl loves a new lipgloos or new make-up set, but not from her boyfriend on Christmas. I owuld go for something like, a purse. Another thing that would make her eyes *SpArKLe* would be jewerly. A bracelet ir probably the cutest Christmas present, but girls also love a set if three: Necklace, Bracelet, and earrings. Hope I have helped you. Have a wonderful day!

I buy my guy friends gas gift certificates, beer, and then give them a stocking full of candy and assorted junk food.\n\nIf it's for a boyfriend, maybe there's a concert coming up? You could dheck on ticketmaster and see if any of his favorite bands are touring.

You should definitely make her something!  That means more than anything you can buy.  One idea (ok, this is really girly of me, but whatev) would be to make her a picture frame and put a really nice picture of the two of you in it.  I'm doing this for my bf for Christmas.  Basically, I buy a cheap frame, cut out magazine pictures that are relevant to our relationship (i.e. he likes politics, so i've got a little donkey), and then decoupage (special glue) them onto the frame in a sort of collage style.  It always turns out really nice, and they can tell you've put a lot of effort into it.

i'm in a long  distance relationship too and for my boyfriend's birthday i got him a dvd of a movie we had seen together.  i made a cd of love songs that make me think of our relationship.  i also gave him a picture frame with a picture of one of the times we were together.  those type of gifts any guy from any type of background might be touched by.  my boyfriend loved it.  hope that might help.

Does he have anything in particular that he loves. Look along those lines. Like my little cousin loves strawberry shortcake so I look for her a present based on that or just get him a gift card to buy him a decent gift. Games are always nice, especially if he has a game console. They have some good games used or new for great prices.

**a gourmet snack style gift basket.....asst. cheeses, beef stick/pepperoni, some good crackers, bottle of good holiday wine (or champagne even for new years)-you could even throw a couple of cute wine glasses in there, some good candy like Ferrero Rocher or such, and maybe a cd of holiday music or scented candle.\n**If you make one that is New Years themed, you could add noise makers and other party accessories instead of the cd / candle.\nBaskets are nice because you can control what you spend...and you can make these to fit ANY holiday/occasion/theme-good idea for the group you belong to....\n\n**A really nice throw/blanket makes a great holiday gift exchange gift also...and can also be found at very reasonable prices.\n\n**Newly released movies, cds, books...\n**Nice calender/desk sets...\n**Personal planners - they make some really attractive ones that you can even find in outlet/discount stores.....\n**A t-shirt or sweat shirt of your local professional football/hockey team.\n**A PRE-PAID GAS CARD!!! You could include a note that says "To help you get 'Home for the Holidays' "\n**Movie theater vouchers\n\nI have more ideas, but I could go on forever!\nHope maybe these give you some direction/ideas.....HAVE FUN!!

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.

Has he been mentioning something that maybe he wanted to buy for himself but hasn't? For my (male) best friend's birthday, I took him out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. I took fabulous pictures and put them in a scrapbook for him. \n\nSince he's turning 18 maybe take him to a Indian Casino. Is he going to college? Maybe some college gear. Or new apartment/dorm stuff. Good Luck.

I'm diabetic so no chocolate for me!  My fiancee usually gets me fake flowers, a fruit basket (good for you and tastes good!) and a stuffed animal of some kind.  I LOVE those!

Giving gifts is so damn common. Why not do him a favor?? Try to reserve a very cool restaurant that he haven't been to. Y'know, it's not the only guys who can do this. Does he love music??What's his favorite song??How about your theme song?Can you play any instruments(let's say violin or piano-this is approriate for the occasion)If you can, do it..play the instrument while he's entering the resto..Or if you can't ask a friend..Wear your best..be on your best look...Dress up differently. That should be the very first time, he'll ever see you that way...Make sure he'll say "WOW"..Remember you've been a couple for three years, so make it sure this is a moment he'll remember always...You still have lots of weeks to do it, you'll have enough time for the preparation.

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.

Do you need anything for your room?  Like a reading lamp, posters/pictures, etc...\n\nWhat about going out?  Gift card to go to the movies might be cool ($50 should cover 2 ppl + popcorn & drinks)  You never know there could be a real good movie that comes out sooner or later...\n\nAre you a guy?  Is there a cologne you like to wear?  Or if you're a girl a perfume maybe?\n\nWhat about song books (you said you like to play keyboards, I assume you can read music)  New Bowling shoes (or do you prefer to rent them?...)  a bowling glove?  \n\nYou mentioned that you like art - but that could mean almost anything!  If you like to paint - ask for paint supplies (brushes, canvases, etc...)  If you prefer to 'look' at art, is there a particular print that you like, or maybe just passes to the local art museum (Hey you never know - and it would be an original place to bring a date too...)\n\nHope these help, and Happy Birthday (in January)
