New relationship, xmas gift ideas?

I need ideas for gifts for my boyfriend.

We have only been together a couple of months but have known each other longer.
I don't want to spend a fortune but I do want our first xmas to be special!

And to complicate matters, both of our birthdays are not long after xmas and so I want to get him something for that too as we both usually end up with joint presents off people.

  • How about a night away somewhere in a hotel....that would make it special and would be something you would remember.....doesn't have to be a 5* or anything....just somewhere nice that means something to you both.

  • What about a bracelet or something, you can get him a somewhat in-expensive manly silver bracelet and its something that he can always wear and think of you (if the relationship continues)

    I'd go with this. :) Plan something special you can do together.

    First Valentine's Day with my now hubby, I planned a full day - we went to Vinopolis (wine tasting place in London) then for dinner then a show. I made up a "Your Itinerary" document and printed it out to give to him. :)

    Just a couple of months in, wherever you live there must be some attractions nearby or something else you'd both like to do together?
  • what about a wrist watch?:)
  • handcuffs ?
  • how about tickets for a concert/theatre trip for xmas and then surprise him with a hotel night for that night for his birthday
  • How about a new car lol. Or dress up as Mrs claus.

    He doesn't really do man-jewellery and I have never seen him wear a watch. I don't know if that is because he doesn't have a watch, or if its because he doesn't do watches!

    We are going away to London for the weekend for our birthdays so I was thinking of booking some things to do while we are there as birthday treats, but then he does like to plan things so I don't want to take that away from him.

    Doesn't help with Xmas though!

    I was thinking of doing lots of small presents that I can do a treasure hunt for him to find.

    So far I have got him a woopee cushion...
