Gift ideas for a man

I wondered if anyone had any good ideas for gift ideas.
We haven't been dating long enough for me to know exactly what he loves / hates.

I want to buy something unique that will be surprising and enjoyed.

Any ideas?

    If you havent been dating long, arrange to cook him a nice meal, bottle of wine and then maybe a film / adult time afterwards.

    This would be much more appriciated than something that will get put in a drawer never to see the light of day again :)

    Something I've discovered every man likes: Get a lot of ribbons and wrap them around yourself so you become the present for him to unwrap. Whether you wear the ribbon on top of clothes or not is your decision ;)

    Totally misread that as "cook a meal, bottle of wine and then maybe an adult film....." :o

    Pardon me for not being clear enough *sigh*. Every man I've been with. Hope that clears up your confusion.

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Been through a fair few myself, and can't imagine any going for that!

    This is much more interesting that discussing presents! So how many men have you been with!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I can't imagine any man not wanting to unwrap a girl/woman that he fancies

    And Poppy9 - fewer than you think, no doubt ;)
