Christmas gift for boyfriend, ideas needed!

Jo_R_2

Hi all!

A quick one, I've been racking my brains and not come up with anything I'm happy with!

I don't know what to get my boyfriend for Christmas. We'll have been together six months by then, and he let slip yesterday that he wanted to buy me a ring, I'm not sure of what you call them because I don't usually wear jewellery all that much, but like an eternity ring I think?

I've been thinking for a few weeks now of what to get him. It's difficult because I want to get him something meaningful, but I just don't know what! The stuff I had thought of, which were I guess generic gifts, things like a watch, gig tickets, aftershave, he isn't terribly bothered about (have been doing some digging, myself and asking his friends) but I'm more stumped now because I know what he's getting me!

He likes getting clothes, but I bought him a t-shirt not long ago so don't want to do something similar (and also not v. romantic!) I haven't got a lot of money so I can't afford anything extravagant but I want to get/make/do something that he'll love and cherish/remember.

Any ideas welcomed!

i was stumped for my oh birthday an we were skinter than skint so i went to the charity shop an bout a silk nighty, 2 feather pillows, onw suede effect top, and a macdonalds tigger

it cost 3.60

i made

i emptied out the feathers an cut the nighty up 1 seam i put the feathers in the nighty an gathered up the excess as much as i could to sew it was a mini bean bag(i used feathers as he has a feather pillow that he uses as a soother i then cut out his name from the suede top an glued it on the front an then i sewn the tigger just above his name i used tigger as he loves him he was over the moon an astonished that i had made it....you could do something similar and then buy him a small useable gift...oh i also made the card from my dd craft set and filled it with reasons why i love him an like him.

If you do a search on google you can get experience days out - a hotair balloon ride for two? a trip around a racing track? a helicopter ride? there are many things, and some aren't hugely expensive. Team it up with a nice dinner out. Take a few pictures, get it framed and give it to him as a momento...
