What should I get my BF for the holidays?

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
This is my first Christmas with a boyfriend, and I don’t know what to get him. He’s into football. Any ideas?

Bill: Early in a relationship, a gift is more than just a gift—it’s a message. If you want to keep things casual, get him a football video game. If you want a more serious relationship, make your gift an event—tickets on the 50-yard line to the team of his choice. And if you can get those seats, give me a call!
 
Dave: Bill covered the obvious, so I’ll suggest the opposite. Everyone surely knows he’s a football fanatic. He probably sits around the tree, opening presents and thinking, “Please, for the love of Ray Lewis, don’t let this be another set of Upper Deck football cards.” So your mission is to discover his hidden interests with sly questions about movies he likes or memorable trips he’s taken. In the end, you’ll come across an idea for a unique gift he’ll cherish because he’ll know you put some thought into it.

MOD MOD MOD This is my first year having a best friend who is a guy around Christmas, and i am clueless at what to get him. I love him like a brother and I want to do something special for him. I would ask him, but i want to surprise him. Even if i did ask, he would just tell me not to bother. What should I get him?

 

Hey girly, think about all the things he's into, even make a list if that will help. Then think of what you could get him that he can use or will like. For example, if he's a sports fan you could buy him a jersey, if he's a bookworm a nice book, or a car fan, a car calendar. Hope this helps! Smile Smile

my bf and i are both on the swim team and i have no idea what to get him!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I dont want to give him anythinng to typical either!! Please helpSmile

 


Hey chica, maybe you could get him a gift that will help with his swimming. Maybe a nice gym bag to store all his clothes in when he has to change, a new pair of goggles, or a pair of swimming shoes. Hope these help! Smile Smile

I asked him to our semi-formal dance that is in the end of january and he excitedly said yes. his friends say he likes me and i like him but we arent officially dating.... we actually arent officially anything lol. i plan to ask him about that soon, but if things stay how they are now when the holidays roll around, should i get him something?? idk if hes getting me anything but i wouldnt wanna b akward if he does and i dont or vice versa. help!!!!!

Umm, i usually LOVE your guys's answeres, but this one doesn't really help much, could you be a little more specific, i know you guys cant come up with THE perfecet answer, cause every guy is different right? could you possibly put up what NOT to get a guy? thanx!
