If the gift in question is truly sincere and comes from your heart then go with that. A new regulation football, or a signed one by his fav player, a nice smelling cologne that he likes, clothing that he has interest in, mp3 player, and/or just about anything that he has mentioned that he has a fondness for. If you know him that well you will come to realize these things.\nGood luck and good shopping.\n\n\nps: Take him shopping with you and see what interests him and what stores he frequents. he will eventually and unknowingly show you what he likes or wants.

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...

Seriously, did you remind him it was Valentine's Day and that it is important to you that he do something in honor of it?  If you were hoping that he would just remember all on his own and do something special for you, then you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.\n\nA good man wants to do nice things for his girl, but often they just need to be pointed in the right direction - and subtle hints may not work.  Next year, you may need to start saying, "Hey baby, Valentine's Day is in about a month," or maybe "You know, it would be really cool to celebrate Valentine's Day right, I think that flowers are awfully romantic."\n\nA decent man?  Will listen and take notes.

I think it would be cool to get him something that he can remember you by like maybe getting a personalized gift at the store Things Remembered.\nThere is always the Gift Card option too that way you know he will be getting something he wants or can use.

Well let me say that the jersey thing was a great idea.  But maybe if he's such a big baseball fan, you could get him stuff from the college that he is going to play baseball at.  Or if you guys feel like you've known each other forever, get something that is relevant to your relationship.  Like for instance, something that reminds you of your first kiss, or the song that you guys had your first slow dance to.  But since his christmas gift was such a big deal and was more of a materialistic gift, his birthday prensent (since its like a week after!) should be something meaningful.\n\nGood Luck!

Give it, young man, gifts like that are the ones that mean everything to a woman. Sounds like you really love this one so take the chance, parents are always going to be parents. Love is your choice.

first date on Valentines day... you must really like pressure or applying it. normally I would say no gifts on a first date, the date should be used to get to know each other. but since you are going out on "romantic holiday" here are a couple of suggestions. If you are both old enough maybe a nice bottle of wine. If you neither of you drink or you are under 21 a simple flower for the lapel would be nice. Try not to be too elaborate you may scare him off. What if he does not get you something, I think you could get him something but do not give it to him unless he presents you with a gift first (not to be childish) just so you do not make him feel uncomfortable  remember this is a first date. If he does not get you anything and you still feel compelled to give a gift, make it something like a small box of chocolate that you could both share. \nBeing a guy I have never expected a gift from a girl on a date, but have given them. The best returns for me was a genuine smile and comment of appreciation from the girl, making me feel like I had truly brought a little joy to her through my thoughtfulness.

That is really sweet of you.  He is very lucky to have a great girl like you to take care of him on his b-day!  Sounds like you have done good with the dinner and webcam so far.  What else can you do for him?  Well, I believe the obvious would of course be providing him with some one-on-one personal entertainment later in the evening, perhaps with some new fun toys, outfits, or something.  But besides that, you could buy him something cool for his car (if he is into that kind of thing), or maybe some jewelry (if he wears a chain or earrings).  Cigars and alcohol are always good, since those last a long time, allows him to relax, and he will be thinking of you when he enjoys them.  THose are just my thoughts.  Good luck, and have a great time celebrating with him!

Well, can only answer for myself, But I would enjoy something or even just a thoughtful gesture from your heart over something thats store baught anyday.  Use your imagination.  Special dinner of his favorite food that YOU have prepared for him, a special evening to just yourselves, make it romantic, make him feel that he is the one and only man that has ever existed in your life.  Remember it is all about him that day.  Start from the time you wake up in the morning till the time you two finally fall asleep that night.  And I'm sure he will be doing something special for you, so be patient and work together so that both of you feel that the plans you have put together have went smoothly and fully.  Good luck and congratulations.

Flowers are cool, but men are practical and women are emotional. We get women flowers because it tugs on your emotions. Men are practical and buying us flowers probably won't get the same emotional response from him that it would get from a woman. He would probably like it more to get something he can keep or use more than a few days. I would say ask your man if HE likes flowers. It's always better to get someone something they want instead of something we think they should have. See the difference?? Ask him what he likes and get him that. He may like it better to get a bag of Jolly Ranchers or BlowPops! That can still be just as cute. You usually can't go wrong with candy or food when you're dealing with a sentimental gift for a guy!! And don't get us a box of chocolates either, unless that chocolate is covering some peanuts and caramel. Like a Snickers bar!

Well, it sounds like maybe he needs a little prodding...maybe you should get him a gift that signifies something meaningful to the two of u, and then plan a night that he wont soon forget.

wow he cooked damn! id buy a diamond ring (fugazi of course i aint dat rich) than cook, shiet i have a hard time making peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches. but seriously what he did for you was nice but you are right being 21 is special so for me as a man if my girl was turning 21 id try to make it special for her in anyway. gifts arent always the best present its what you do, if he just cooked and then took you out to drink then it seems he didnt try hard enough (and i know how you women get turned on when we try hard especially for you believe me i know lmao) which is ashame because it sounds like it was a first date than a birthday celebration. im not saying that he doesnt love you or anything but damn 2 years he couldve done all that in the house i mean whats so hard cooking a romantic dinner with candle lights rose pedals and bubble baths u know the works, secondly he shouldnt have never taken you out for drinks he couldve done it at the house wit some champagne and some isley brothers man its ova damn i should write a book lol but nah on a serious tip u seem like a nice person and i know you will do whats right  but i just which your boyfriend had more respect and appreciation which u deserve. its guys like him that makes it hard for other guys like me in the world.

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.

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! :)
