One year my sister and brother-in-law TOTALLY surprised me and took me to a concert I really wanted to go to.  I had NO idea!  It is hard to surprise someone, and when you do, it is great!  :)

I always think that for a big birthday you should go for something 'one-off'. What is he into? Here's some ideas (most of which you'll be able to find on ebay).\n\nMusic - First edition, signed records\nBooks - As above\nTrainers - Get the original trainers (not re-release). Loads of sites out there like deludedmonkey.com\nSport - Is he into a particular team? Get him a signed shirt.\n\nBlokes always love gadgets as well, although there's something not terribly 'special birthday' about them (other than the price). You could try an ipod with a laser engraved message.\n\nOr... how about you take him away for a weekend? Take him to something he'll love e.g. a really cool gig, a sports game (where you won't moan!) or maybe a romantic break...

The compliment that I received was not given to me with words.  Last Christmas, one of my students who was being raised in poverty (to no fault of the family members, just circumstances), walked up to my desk and handed me a white pen.  It was covered with fingerprints and some dirt.  With a big smile on her gorgeous face, this 5-yr-old said, Merry Christmas, Miss. D......!  I just had to get you a present."  It is the best compliment that I have ever received, and I will never forget her!  Every time I tell someone about this, I tear up.

im happy for you,God bless your little princess. my best birthday was when i turned 10 and my father was testing a car i think it was a honda crb or cbr; anyway the moon was full and the hole street lighten up all around. we went to see a movie "conan the barbarian" and i had my first cheesecake (cherry). i felt grown up, surrounded by my family, blessed with a beautiful night. i had everything. i wish i can feel that again.

A perfectly wrapped up gift, with a red bow on, ready for someone to open...\n\nEdited to add that I probably thought of this because of all the adverts for Chirstmas that have started + it's my birthday soon...  if you have asked this after this time of year I would have thought of present as in today, this moment.

I was one of the lucky ones.  There were 4 of us born at Fort Devens Army Hospital in Shirley Massachusetts.  Growing up I would celebrate 1 day with family and 1 day with friends.  If there was a 29th then I'd get 1 day only.  Now it seems like it doesn't matter if there is a 29th or not, my birthdays seem to last for a week.  I have had my ID torn up because the bouncer thought it was a fake.  He said there was no Feb 29.  The bar paid for a new ID.  The fun part is when I can say my kids are older than me.  By the way...I turned 10 1/2 this year.  I'll be 11 in 2008.  I sometimes get gag gifts from people.  Like when I turned 6 (24) I got a barbie doll and a card for a 6 year old.  All in all, it's just another day though.

Money and giftcards are always nice. This way you can pick at your lesiure and when you feel the need. Jewlery is always nice. Clothes and shoes are always an option. Do you have any hobbies? Ask for stuff that you can use for your hobby, for example if you like to draw maybe some artist notebooks or some charcoal pencils. \n\nHonestly it is hard to tell you what you want for your birthday. Yes you are 17 and a girl but you are your own unique person and that doesn't mean we can pick a gift out for you because you are 17 and female. I wanted cash, books, cd's, or movies when I was 17.
