Some guys do and they are complete jerks. Mature women understand when a man cannot afford a lavish gift for the holidays. I graduate on 12/10, Christmas is 12/25, my birthday is 1/26 and Valentine's Day is 2/14.  Thats a lot of freaking gifts in a short period! I have already explained to my boyfriend that I do not expect gifts for all those days and that him just being there is enough.

relationships are not about getting stuff. If i got a kiss on my b-day that be enough for me. People just don't know how special they really are until the fact you get their love and you feel happy for that.\n\nEdit: Is your relationship bad with him other than that?

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...

Youre being selfish! Its better to give than receive you will get your blessings in return!! Dont be so mean its the holidays.!

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!

Thats bc he love the gift you gave he.Things like that make people's day. He may like you too and do not know how to tell you. Talk to him, tell him whats on your mind. Good Luck

I have the same problem, I told my love to make a xmas list and we are both going to exchange the list alittle before xmas. try that, then whats on your list would help him out, as much as you need help, and you would have his list!

Ask your brother what they are like, what they like, what they collect, etc. I think one of those little angel pins, a plant, or chocolate, are good gifts if you decide that you must give a gift. If my son's daughter had brought me a gift the first time she met me, I would've thought she was trying to buy my acceptance. As it was she came empty-handed but her personality and her love for my son were gift enough. Now she gives me things all the time. It's a sweet idea though.

It isnt about gifts, it is about thoughtfulness.\n\nYou say he is very special, then tell him that, tell him what he really means to you and your life. Tell him how he completes your life and how he makes you fell and why he makes you feel that way.\n\nFor my anniversary recently, I made a presentation in powerpoint of all the special memory photos from our life together, I added a background music track of our favourite song and then I used the ext spaces to tell my wife in each picture why it was special and how she had made it special for me. I added stuff I have never told her because we assume they already know it but one thibgs she said when she watched it was that although she knew I loved her and knew she was special for me, that actually seeing it again and being told it was a wonderful thing.\n\nThe best gifts cost nothing except some time and some thought.\n\nAnd if you cant think of an idea, you can always buy something minute and sexy ;-)

The most expensive gift I've ever recieved from a guy I was seeing was a diamond ring.  It was only .25 carots, white gold.  He was a drunken a**hole and after I had ditched him I gave the ring to a little girl I passed by at a fair because I felt it was bad luck to keep it.  ...I wonder if she still has it... No definately not still with him, really wouldn't mind never seeing him again.  :-)

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!

The best gift I ever received was from my daughter.  It was a back massager for my computer chair.  I had tweaked my back months before and, although I complained about the pain for awhile, never did anything about it.  It was very thoughtful and showed me that she was paying attention to me.  That's what you need to do...find some little indulgent thing that he would never get for himself but that shows you pay attention to him.  Good Luck!

Unfortunately, I would have to say you hit the nail on the head.  All too often, people shower those they love with monetary gifts as a show of affection, & it backfires.  Even if the object of their affection had no intention of using them, it becomes all too easy to do, & they do so, sometimes without even realizing it for a while.  Therefore, it may sound elitist, but I would recommend you set your sights higher, & date someone more on your social & financial level.  Next time, look for someone who would be a good partner for you, rather than a man you have to support.  You can really do better.  This may also prevent the hurtful arguments, because I believe a man like this wanted to hurt you because he blamed you for the times he may have been ashamed of himself.

i think something is wrong with him i am 25 and if my other half gave me that for christmas i would be pretty upset myself. i mean it would be different if it was a romantic comedy , something you two could enjoy together.

my husband is over there right now. you could send videos of all your buddies saying hey your man loves you! send her pics of you and the guys. where my husband is now, he has some access to more cultural type stuff. you could pick out some stuff as souvenirs to send to her. i really like mt. dew, so my husband sent me one of theirs as a souvenir. you could make a cd of songs that make you think of her, that say what you want to say. and when you write to her, tell her how you are feeling, tell her about your plans for the future. girls like that stuff.\nand thanks for your service and sacrifice!\noh, and the best gift of all in my opinion, put together a charm bracelet for her. include charms that symbolize times you spent together. such as a horse for the time you guys went horse back riding together, just as an example. i would love it if my man would think of something like that!
