present help for a male!

Options
So my boyfriend and I have been together for a year in a weeks time and he's bought me a present (no idea what it is but apparently it was £40 which gives me £40 to play with) ...the problem is he is so hard to buy for, has anyone got any ideas? Hes into cricket and football well any sport but I wanted something to keep?

Any ideas appreciated

    Please don't feel like you have to spend the same amount of money...that isn't what this site is about!

    Perhaps a stadium or club tour? signed photo of a player/team? Shirt/clothing from his team club shop? tickets to a match? sky sports subscription for 3 months or something? hamper (see hamper sticky on special occasions board - its huge)? a night out with the boys?

    There's plenty to choose from. You haven't really given much information apart from its a man, and they like sports.

    Try a google search perhaps?

    A first anniversary is traditionally marked by a paper gift (may just be for marriages) so a ticket for something is a nice idea or a photograph printed up in a nice frame.

    As already said, don't feel you have have to match the amount spent as you may as well just swap the £40 and each buy something for yourself.

    If he like gadgets, maybe a little box of tricks

    My OH turned 40 recently & I made up a box of 40 gadgets, you could do something similar with say 12 things in a nice box, one present for every month you have known & loved him?!

    I bought most of the gadgets on eBay for .99p, the only thing was a lot of items came from HK so you would have to plan ahead and buy things early to make sure they arrive on time.

    Good luck x
