What is he interested in?  The thought you put into the gift is much more important than the amount of money you spend.\n\nIs he getting ready to go through any upcoming life changes?  Graduating?  Moving out of the house?  Is there something fun and useful you could get him that relates to that life change?

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.

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!

This is interesting.  Sounds like a one way relationship there.  I am sorry but gifts should not be asked for, they should come from the heart of the person buying them.  A gift is a gift is a gift it should be given out of love not pressure.  Don't feel bad.  There is definately some selfishness going on and you need to decide whether you want to live the rest of your life in a relationship like that.

A home-cooked meal would be perfect!  Something he likes, it will seem special but won't make him feel empty-handed for not bringing his own gift.  Plus, if you tell him in advance he can always show up with something (like flowers or wine hopefully)!

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.

First off, I'd like to say that angel_baby0824's idea is super romantic :)  Now, I decided to get my boyfriend a ring this year (one for him, one for me kind of thing).  You can get them with any message on them at http://www.personalizationmall.com  But, they also have TONS of other great ideas.  They even have a Romantic Gifts section.  Good luck :)

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! :)

if you've known each other for 3 years then you must know something about her parents. you can even ask your gf. if you'll buy one gift for the both of them, maybe you can give them wine, some home decor or tool. if you know how to cook or make desserts, it would be nice too.

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!

If you've got the money, if you think he'll like it, and if you guys are friends, go ahead and give it to him...  I give my friends presents during the holidays- no big deal, right?\n\nIf you're concerned about it being too much, you could always buy him a CD or make him a mix CD or something if you know what type of music he likes.  That's a bit more casual than clothing, I guess (although mix CDs can be pretty personal)...\n\nOh, and after reading some of the above suggestions- planning an activity is always good.  It doesn't HAVE to be a date unless you want it to, just a celebration type thing.  Concerts are cool, but if you can't do that, just go to the movies or something.

The other ideas are good.\n\nBut here's another idea.  Since it's all in the same week, how about a weekend getaway to somewhere you haven't been before.  That would be some awesome time alone and away from friends and family.  Trust me, it worked well for me and my guy, and his birthday isn't anywhere close to any other holiday.  I still look back on that time with wonderful memories.  It was great.

I think generally men don't enjoy getting 'suprise' presents, they'd rather 'do' or 'go', so think along those lines, depending how much you want to spend of course! All the men I know and have to buy gifts for would prefer disposable, ie. edible gifts, so find out what they like and get some! There's so much choice just at the supermarkets now, with beer in gift packs with free t-shirts, whisky with nip bottles etc. Good luck!
