The bf turns 26 soon and I haven't been w/ him long enough to know what he would want (since we haven't hit any holidays or birthdays yet)... nor have I ever dated a guy who is about to turn 26.... So I am very confused. I know that his previous ex's got him very weird gifts that he didn't like (VERY WEIRD)... so I don't want to fit in w/ that trend- haha. I've got the sexy gifts down pat... But I don't know what else. I want it to be something very cool/memorable. I just got him a wallet for an every day random gift because he had used the same wallet since senior year of high school. He really liked that (considering he had dated numerous girls since senior year of hs and they never thought to get him one)- but I definitely need ideas. His birthday isn't till April 8th, but I am ridiculously busy so I need to get a head start. Please help.

lapdance

from you or a stripper one

3/8/2006 9:24:48 AM

how about some fish (and an aquarium for them to swim around in)

3/8/2006 9:26:42 AM

ok we get it, you have a bf....hence the third thread made in the lounge lately

3/8/2006 9:30:44 AM

Lapdance... Note taken...

Aquarium... No can do- he is in b/tw living arrangements....

Danny... I'm sorry... I just love the advice the lounge gives. And I need advice on the things I've asked about. If you don't like my threads, don't read them.

[Edited on March 8, 2006 at 9:33 AM. Reason : BTW- In the second thread, the bf wasn't mentioned till much later as a response.]

3/8/2006 9:32:14 AM

how about giving him a baby. sounds alright for a 26 year old and it is the gift that keeps on taking.

3/8/2006 9:38:27 AM

i got my bf a pocket watch with his name engraved on the outside for his first gift (it was his bday too)....he loves it and wears it everyday since

it wasnt that expensive (<$45) and even if your guy doesnt especially like pocket watches, i think its still a pretty cool gift to get



[Edited on March 8, 2006 at 9:44 AM. Reason : ]

3/8/2006 9:42:45 AM

I think a baby falls in to the weird category of things he doesn't like.

That's a cute idea OMFGPlzDoMe. I don't think that's really his style though unfortunately.

3/8/2006 9:47:21 AM

i would be pissed if my bitch got me a pocketwatch

3/8/2006 10:02:52 AM

What does he do in his free time? Just pay attention to the things he enjoys, you said you havnt dated long but it still should be time to know what he enjoys.

For example, if he does a lot of carpendry or works on cars ect. buy him some tools, with the time you have you can work in into conversations what are some things that needs replacing or something that he doesnt need but has always wanted.
OR
Whos his favorite actor? Buy him a bunch of movies with that person in it.

Like I said, just pay attention to him in the next week or two and you should be able to come up with something that has a lil bit of personal thought to it. Since we dont know him we wont be able to come up with something that good.

3/8/2006 11:34:24 AM

give him BJs until he passes out

3/8/2006 11:46:49 AM

How about something 'cool' from Brookstone or Sharper Image at the mall?

True, but I can get standard ideas and build off them... The pocketwatch idea actually gave me an excellent idea of something that is similar-- which is fabulous.

Hah- well that's ALL the time (not just his Birthday) lol. JK.

I like to give like themed "baskets" although not necessarily in baskets I usually try to stick to a theme such as for Christmas it was music and so I went to Coconuts and bought a lot of CDs, music DVDs, a shirt, a CD Dr. and some other music stuff. one time it was Movies, I got a bunch of DVDs, Blockbuster gift certificate, Movie gift certificate, sound track and some other stuff. One time he seriously needed a pair of shoes and the store didnt have his size so I went to another store without telling him and got the shoes, some socks, some cleaner, and extra laces since somehow he breaks his and some boxers (he needed those too, haha) .
anyway, to me themes are fun because it narrows down your buying field and that actually makes it easier because its not so overwhelming and then everytime i always ended up finding that one more thing that i wasnt planning on getting but it turns out to go with the rest of it perfectly and i cant resist.
good luck though.

dont worry baby, you dont have to get me anything
just save your money.

all i want is you / me and some alone time

3/8/2006 12:31:41 PM

i had the same deal when my b/f turned 24. we hadnt been together very long and i didnt really know what to do. but i ended up taking him to see dave attell at charlie goodnights and had a bunch of his friends meet us there. it was a fun nightand we are still together

3/8/2006 2:12:01 PM

J_Gatsby -- You're tellin' me.

Aww that's cute Emily-- I usually like to have a big variety of things though- but that IS a good idea.

Shhh... You weren't supposed to see this thread gunzz This present is for my OTHER boyfriend. haha

Lime Light -- I was thinking about some sort of show, but I doubt it will go down... I don't know if I should cook or take him to eat either. :-O

^^i guess that all depends on how good of a cook you are, thats definitely the most romantic option
we didnt go to dinner before the show, but i guess if it fits you budget, go for it

3/8/2006 4:47:26 PM

if you got rid of him and started dating me, you wouldn't have to worry about it because i already turned 26 like a month ago

3/8/2006 8:25:15 PM

Cookie Crisp. I just had four bowls for dinner and they were awesome.

3/8/2006 8:27:03 PM

I just got him something excellent!! I am so excited! (I can't tell tho b/c some of his friends are on this site)

I am an excellent cook. lol So I decided to leave the dinner up to him. I'll take him out or cook... Whatever he wants....

And then there are the 'fun' gifts. haha

Need some more ideas though.

Smath74 You never made the move!

jackleg have I ever told you how much I love you?

Bad Travis BAD!!! Stop putting words in my mouth.

3/8/2006 8:34:45 PM

Whatever you do get him, make sure it is something practical that he has a use for and will actually use. Off the top of my head it is probably going to start getting warmer soon, perhaps a nice pair of sunglasses?

3/8/2006 8:34:46 PM

I got my bf a laptop for his 26th, but something tells me that is out of your price range. My bf is fond of practical gifts, his favorite was a Kitchenaid stand mixer. You should know at least something about his hobbies/interests. Go on amazon.com or something similar, and pick out some sort of practical novelty item for something he's interested in, something he'd want but would be low on his list of things to buy for himself. I've never gone wrong that way.

3/8/2006 8:37:11 PM

i think you should get him a wallet.

3/8/2006 8:44:34 PM

Head.

3/8/2006 11:25:24 PM

Yes- NCSUDiver -- I haven't been dating him nearly long enough to buy him a laptop...

Smath74 -- I already bought him a wallet...

Need more ideas.

3/9/2006 3:32:51 PM

i like the gift basket idea. Maybe lots of small things in one big package

3/9/2006 3:37:39 PM

momo shift knob

3/9/2006 3:44:38 PM

take him somewhere on a day trip or overnight trip. maybe carowinds or to the mountains or to the beach.

[Edited on March 9, 2006 at 3:49 PM. Reason : and bake him a cake]

3/9/2006 3:49:20 PM

if my gf got me a pocket watch i would probably smack her in the face and be like what the hell are you thinking

3/10/2006 2:47:46 AM

bttt- need some more ideas.

3/14/2006 11:11:26 AM

Well, for the fashionably challenged---clothes.
For the car lover---neat car things like....a detailing package from a body shop.
For the sportster---take him to see a game or get him tickets for him and a friend.

I'm out of ideas and I didn't read the thread..sorry for repeats.

3/14/2006 11:19:00 AM

my gf bought me a sex book FOR HIM so it's all the positions she can do to please me more.

best gift ever.

3/14/2006 11:35:55 AM

sounds to me like you are trying to do waaaaaaaaaaay too much for a birthday when you said yourself that you haven't been going out that long.

3/14/2006 1:06:19 PM

FELLATIO

3/14/2006 1:08:59 PM

get him an "ass" tray



(and probably something more serious like dat pocket watch )

[Edited on March 14, 2006 at 2:06 PM. Reason : h]

The sunglasses idea is not bad - a nice pair of Oakleys maybe.

No -- I'm just big in to gifts... and I know how bad his birthday was last year... His dad passed away around the same time... So yes, maybe I am going to do more than I should but- I'm going to make sure he's happy on his birthday this time. (Thanks for the concern though )


These are all good ideas. Thanks.

3/14/2006 2:22:15 PM

3/14/2006 3:15:34 PM

you can give him a skydiving trip, or a 1-2hr helicopter instructional trip for around $200.

http://www.surprise.com usually has pretty decent gift ideas, regardless if you buy from there or not

3/14/2006 4:43:32 PM

I have a great idea

Why not post stuff on TWW in a desperate attempt to antagonize your ex boyfriend?

If you really need advice on what to do for you bf's birthday you're as clueless as you are psychotic.

reason #1 not to date on the wolfweb.


Well maybe not reason #1 but its still up there pretty high.
