My boyfriend's birthday is coming up next week and I am completely lost as to what I should get him! For my birthday he planned a surprise party at his house with all of my best friends and gave me a beautiful, and expensive, bracelet. So, I have to give him something nice. I can't do something like take him out to dinner or make him dinner because he already has a party planned Plus, his brother's birthday is the same day (because they are twins) and his brother happens to be my best friend. So, I can't show one love and not the other. Most girls know instantly what to get their boyfriends, but I don't for soem reason. What should I get him??

The ultimate in a relationship is gift-giving. One shouldn't give to receive. I'm sure what your b/f gave you, he did so out of 1. ability (finance is key) and 2. love and desire. Does that mean you don't love him if you don't fork over serious do-ray-mi? If he thinks so, he doesn't know what love is. Really think about what he likes most. Is he into cars? Sports? Traveling? Get him something that goes with his interest. If he likes sports, get him tickets to an event. Cars? Buy him a few nice models he might like to put together as "dream/goal" cars. Or, ask him what he'd most love to do if he could do anything right that second (so hopefully it's not something huge). If you can swing it, take him to do that. Dancing? A movie? Time with you? That can be your gift! :)

How about a weekend trip? I know several couples who made a very special anniversary out taking a short (even one day) vacation to do something fun together, something that you know your boyfriend is interested in. I personally enjoy having the memories and the experience together better than having to buy them something material sometimes.

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, that depends on the occasion.  \nValentines:  A nice bottle of cologne (like Polo Blue).  Think about how much roses cost on this day....the cologne is a nice match, and lasts wayyy longer.\nAnniversary:  A newly released game (if they play video games), a new golf club (if they play), A season of thier favorite tv show (however stupid it may be lol, they will love it!), I.E. get them something that has to do with their hobby.  It reminds them of how well you know them, and how much you care.\nChristmas:  This one is difficult, I try to zero in on something they need or really want, if they are kind enough to drop hints lol.  A  watch if there is broken, or they have a fine casual one, then if they have that - buy them a "nice" one to wear on special occasions or when they need to look nice.  Seasons tickets to a sport they like, if you can afford it.  Interior covers for thier vehicle, stearing wheal cover, floor mats, a cd holder for their sun visor, and a customized gear shift ball .  ( you can buy these at an autozone or even wal mart )  Basically a car make over, \nB days:  Take him to a movie he wants to see (no matter how stupid you think it is), Find your local race track and take him to a race, they are cheap and the guys love em!  Order a pizza, and play his favorite game - od do whatever he likes at home, Take him to the mall and buy him an outfit, then go out later that night so he can show it off.  The idea with the b day is to do something together while making him feel special on his day.\nI hope this helped.  Guys are just like us, they like to be given thoughtful gifts too!  And they too are thrilled when they get something they really want, or something that lets them know - hey I have been paying attention to you and I really care!  \n: )  So go on spoil them too!

What is his favorite brand of cars? Is he into Dodges? If so get him t-shirts, hats, etc. of his favorite car brand.\n\nWhat are his other interests besides cars, tools, and video games? Does he like computer games? What kind of music.\n\nWhat my boyfriend and I do is give each other a wish list via email for each other. My boyfriend is into cars and tools but he has so many tools that I don't know what to get him so he sent me a wish list and I picked out some things for him and he loved it. \n\nI feel it is best to ask what they want and have them be happy than to choose something for them to be a surprise and have them hate it. \n\nAlso pay close attention to him when watching tv or hanging out. He'll most likely say things in passing he wants this or wants that.

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!

this year i got my boyfriend a really nice watch. in the past i've given him framed photos of us. one time he gave me an engraved photo album filled with pics of us, you can try this too. or you can try to find something with a lot of meaning behind it, like a gift that somehow reminds you of how you too first met. you could buy him tickets for his favorite baseball team or tickets to a concert for a band he loves.

I think you should get him a card and think of something he is really in to and try to incorporate that into your gift. Guys aren't all that big on receiving things for valentines day because they figure it's really the "female" hoilday.  So just make it very sweet and thoughtful! And if all fails..you can perform a striptease for him...when he comes home from work have a trail of rose petals leading from the door to the bathroom where you will be waiting in a bubblebath with rose petals in the tub and chocolate and champagne on the side. Then you will tell him how much you love and appreciate everything he has done for you and that you are glad that you two have found true love in each other!! Let me know if I was helpful...

If it's just a physical thing scratch his name off the list.  Getting him a gift may give him the idea you're catching feelings. Unless you are then get him something nice.

I mail my boyfriend little out of the blue cards for stupid little reasons...Everyone loves getting mail that isn't junk.  On his birthday I had a balloon bouquet sent to his work...Make some cookies or cupcakes and drop them off with a little note so the whole office/coworkers can share.  Put little notes in his coat pockets or inside gloves he wears in the winter that just say I love you or miss you and he will know you are thinking about him even if you're not there.  Invite some of his friends over for Monday night football and spring for some pizza and beer, you will look like the coolest girlfriend ever and he will love you for it.  Surprise him by cooking his favorite meal or making reservations at his favorite restaurant.   It is sooo the little things that count and that make relationships strong.

Girl, come on!!!  Even though you havent been together for long...accept the gift.  If it is sweet and thoughtful and you truely like it, say thank you with a kiss. And maybe in a couple of weeks get him a little something like a card or something he has talked about for a while... if its within your budget!!  Its been my experience also that guys like it when a girl offers to pay for dinner sometimes...NOT ALL THE TIME... so dont spoil him!!!  But if he says thanks for dinner, say thanks for the gift!!  But...wait to see if he really did get you something, and dont ask him! Friends can start rumors...

My parents have been married 25 YEARS! and my dad never remembers to get her stuff on her birthday or their anniversary! I say it is just how some guys are!! If you really love him then ask yourself if a birthday present is more important then his love...\nif the answer is yes, then why have you been with him for 10 years??

Honey, if he's your boyfriend be honest with him.  Get him one present and make it for both.  If he cares about you, he won't care he only gets one present...he has you doesn't he!!!

Ooh, lots of answers here.\nNot sure if this is the question you were wanting me to help you out on... but im gonna give it a shot anyway.\n\nCant remember off hand how long you guys were together for, or if I ever did know? Anyway there were feelings there at one stage. I think that its best you leave the 'romantic' feelings in the past, and keep it strictly as friends, at least until you guys are ready to accept eachother for who you both are.\n\nIm not sure that confronting him on his birthday is such a good idea. Birthdays are for celebrating, and considering its his birthday, if you bring that up, it wont really much fun for him.\n\nBecause he never hit you while you were dating, chances are he was just doing it out of envy more than anything. Most people have that urge, just they dont act on it. \nBe thankful it was a push, and not knocking you unconcious. Any violence is wrong, but im glad you are ok.\n\nHave a chat to him about this after his birthday. Try to talk about other things on his birthday instead. Keep your previous relationship problems out of it, and try to have fun. Enjoy the night, thats what birthdays are all about. Maybe then you will both remember the good times that you shared.\n\nTime is a good remedy for everything. The more the better.\nGood luck.

You don't have to suggest anything to him. Isn't this season supposed to be about giving rather than recieving? I know, the dude has nothing to give for you....but if you don't have anything to suggest to him, then you have everything you could possibly want. Right? So basically, you can just tell him that you already have what you want, and that is your boyfriend. Of course, only say that if that is the truth. Don't lie to your boyfriend.
