I need to get my boyfriend a present for his 26th birthday...?

We've been dating for 7 months, and we're so in love. But the present is also so very much a problem. I had the wonderful idea of getting him and myself tickets to see a broadway show I've seen and know he would love - Avenue Q. But -- whenever he talks about birthday presents, he emphasizes that they should be practical -- so I have this other idea of getting him an mp3 player (Zune) which he doesn't have.



But for Valentines Day, all he got me was flowers - not a thoughtful gift, nor a very expensive one. He does spend a lot of money on me in general though, so I have no hesitation I should spend a good deal on his present.



I'm really torn as to which present to choose. If it helps, he's a really smart computer programmer. Help!!!

You should get the mp3 player and a hookup that allows it to play in the car. Plug it in, but have the player wrapped and tell him that you're taking ihm out to dinner. When he gets in the car, it will be on his seat and whn he opens it, only Avenue Q songs will be on it, then give him tickets to the show. So you guys can listen to the songs on the way to the show- then he'll have the mp3 as well.







Avenue Q is pretty spectacular and shouldn't be missed if it's convenient for you.
Reply:As for Valentine's Day, men do get the images that they should buy us flowers, chocolate, or lingerie, or, if they are big spenders, jewelry. If he spends a lot of money in general, perhaps you can excuse his lack of originality in this case because Valentine's Day is such a commercialized holiday? Also know, too, that men aren't always good at knowing what we want as far as gifts are concerned - they are especially prey to what the marketers tell them to buy!



To choose -HIS- birthday gift, I would recommend purchasing a practical gift since that was what he requested.



And, in the future, if he asks you what you want for -YOUR- presents, be clear whenever possible. (Men's minds simply aren't like ours - they do need some help!)
Reply:If you're looking for a fun and romantic gift for your boyfriend, I think that these personalized soaps from http://www.soapcard.com are a great solution. they make soaps with your photo or just message embedded inside. I got one for my boyfriend and he loved it. You can write all kinds of funny stuff.... My boyfriend thought it was super cute! .the "Think of me when you're feeling dirty" soap was the one he loved the most
Reply:A nice watch might be a good idea. It's personal and practical at the same time, and watches are available in a variety of price ranges.
Reply:MP3 player sounds like an EXCELLENT idea!
Reply:I got an idea give him you in something sexy, and an romance dinner also a dark room and candles.
