Ideas please!

I want to buy a Christmas present for a man who I fancy! I have no idea how he feels about me but we are already friends. It needs to be thoughtful :confused: but not too personal. :rolleyes:

I have been thinking for ages what to do (in between day-dreaming about him!) and I just can't think what to get.
Anyone been in this postion before? Feel like a teenager again!!:o

    What sort of age is he? Any idea if he has any hobbies? What music he likes?

    How sweet. Could you get him something he has to use or wear *every* day such as a scarf, gloves, wallet etc. Oh, and before you wrap it make sure you give your hands a good covering in your regular perfume. Try to keep the kiss-marks off it lol.

    Good luck!

    Late 40's. He's into gadgets and "alternative" stuff like crystals etc. I know he likes photography and gardening. I've not heard him talk about music other than individual songs which have a personal meaning for him.

    Like the perfume on wrapping idea haylibo!

    If he is into photography how about a digital photo frame? Do you have any photos of you together? It'd be dead sweet to maybe put a few on there ready for when he opens it. Also maybe if it does turn into something special between you both then you will have somewhere to store the new memories you are about to create :)
  • how about a pair of tickets for a show at a theatre. If he takes you then you will know your feelings are reciprocated.
