Any ideas on a birthday gift?

Asked by Headhurts (4505points) June 11th, 2013

It is my boyfriends birthday a week on Saturday. I have already got him tickets for something ( which unfortunately he knows about). I have also booked us a room for the night ( which he doesn’t know about).
I want to get him something for him to open on the day, but have no idea what, but I would feel mean if he didn’t have anything to unwrap. (He already gets to unwrap me, ucme).

What does he like? What did you get tickets too? What is your budget?

I have spent about £300. I just want to get him something to open on his birthday.

What are the tickets for? It might give us a clue as to a supplementary present. Tell us about him? What are his hobbies? Is he a blokey guy or more of a metrosexual type? What does he do for a job? Is he an office worker or a tradie? Just so we have a sense of ‘who’ he might be.

He doesn’t have any hobbies. He is a conveyancing solicitor. He likes sport, sport and sport. The tickets are to see Mrs Browns Boys. He drinks Whisky. We are currently saving so we can move areas. He knows about the tickets, and told me not spend anymore money. He likes me to spend it on me, or to save it. He doesn’t know about the hotel room I have booked. I just couldn’t stand it if he nothing to open. He’s the kind of man that if he wants something he’ll buy it. If he’s not got it, then he obviously doesn’t want it. He is very hard to buy for. Plus, we trying to downsize, and therefore we are getting rid of a lot of stuff.

Does he like to watch DVDs? You could buy him a DVD of the Mrs Brown series. Not too expensive but something that will remind him of your night out perhaps? Does he like chocolate or any type of food? Could you buy a special food treat for after the theatre. What about some massage oil? Wrap it up and give him a massage when you get back to the hotel.

If you have a favorite cologne you like, you could get him that. This way it is a gift you both will like. He can see how it is a gift for you because you like how it smells on him and if it is something that turns you on, then it will be the gift that keeps giving. :)

How about some nice classy lingerie for you? Guys buy it for their ladies but it’s really a gift for him. How about turn it around and find something you really like. He can open it at the room and then you put it on for him. This way it’ll be something you really like and I’m sure he will too.

What about creating an album of your time together?

Headhurts's avatar

@Bellatrix We’ve already got all the DVDs unfortunately, that would have been a good idea. @marinelife, We’ve got tons of photos, and loads around the house. Cute idea though.
@adirondackwannabe, I bought some for when we go to the hotel, I guess he could have it early.

“He’s the kind of man that if he wants something he’ll buy it. If he’s not got it, then he obviously doesn’t want it. ”
If he can purchase anything he wishes than give him things that mean more than money.
Like a love letter, showing how much you appreciate him, how he has made you happy, what makes you like him so etc
( plus a photo of the two of you together having fun).

Perhaps you are now thinking about your rather than his. I just couldn’t stand it if he (has) nothing to open.

You have already spent money on the tickets and the hotel room while trying to both save and downsize. You have a romantic evening in the hotel room planned. Sometimes more-than- enough is too much.

Do some nice things for his unbirthdays… unexpected massages, favorite meals, free sex event in a surprising location, love notes in his lunch box or wallet…

Out of all these wonderful ideas, I know he would absolutely agree with @gailcalled

^^^My bill is in the mail. Have fun.

Edit; ”...thinking about your needs…”

Headhurts's avatar

@gailcalled I knew what you meant, and you are absolutely right. I am thinking very much about my needs, when I know he would be more than happy with what I’ve already got him.

PEZ dispensers and a new pair of socks. It really doesn’t get any better than that.
