Tell me about it!  Right after high school graduation, for Christmas, my boyfriend of about 6 months gave me a long fur coat!  He wasn't rich, and had a job making average wages, and was planning on college the following year.  I was amazed when I opened the large package, expecting a sweater or possbily a long housecoat, but fur coat, not!  I pleaded with him to return it, and after talking for a week to no avail, I took it back to the store myself.  I got the cash register receipt from his mom who lent him some of the money to pay for it.  And, I purchased a winter sweater, which I wore the following weekend, and of course he asked "oh, new huh"?  And I said "yes, you bought it for me", and I explained the transaction and talking to his mother.  I also returned the balance of money between the sweater and the coat to him.  We split a few months later, but not as of this result of this gift.  Two yrs later I saw him, and he thanked me for being so mature at 18 yrs of age, and he used some of the hard earned money for his college.  So, yes - many gifts can be "to much", especially if marriage isn't involved.

You could give him a hand written card to thank him, being as specific as you can.  He might keep it and treasure it forever.

A nice watch, or if he is a tool buff like me find out what tool he wants/needs. Maybe a Carhartt Jackett or some work clothes for when he's building, or a new pair of workboots. I'm the same way I like pratcial gifts that I can use.

If you want to I think it would be a nice gesture. Gifts are always nice. It shows you are a thoughtful person.

something thoughtful..pay attention to the details...and work with that.  i've been with my bf for 4 yrs...he's 26, and i'm just getting him all of those little extras.  he just ordered a new lcd tv, so i got him a new dvd player and tons of dvd's that mean something to us.  i'm gonna put together an album or a quilt that's made up of our memories (can't decide which one yet)...im basically just going to get a bunch of thoughtful things...i know that it will mean so much more to him than one huge big-priced item.  \n\ni'm hoping for a diamond..haha...

Get him something you made and so he would know that you love him very much for taking your time to make something for him! : ) GOOD LUCK

It depends on how much you want to spend. Maybe a Stereo for his car, or a necklace, or a shirt, or a CD, or just a nice card with a gift card from his favorite store.

Whatever their hobby is, whatever you'd get them for any other occasion.  My guy is getting a video game cuz that's what he loves almost as much as me!

Give him something that you'd like for him to have. It needs to be something that he's like to have too.

When it comes to men and gifts nothing brings them brimming like a something that is masculine. For instance getting something to do with his fishing hobby will be great. They are generally not particulary jazzed by clothing - you could try food too but I bet you want to give him something more lasting than that..\n\nCheck this website out..has funny ideaologies about mens gifts which I would say is somewhat true..men like tough looking stuff not the fancy stuff us women would prefer.\nhttp://www.cojoweb.com/Mangifts.html

How about an I.O.U. for the gift you're going to give him when he gets home? ;)

Gift certificate sounds good or just give her money.  I also like the idea of buying her a cd of her fav artist or a nice outfit or shoes she might like.

this year i got my boyfriend a really nice watch. i've framed pictures of us as a gift before. one time he gave me an engraved photo album filled with pics of us so you can try this too. make it something meaningful, maybe buy tickets for his favorite baseball team or a concert for a band he loves.
