Gift Help?

Hi,


For those who missed my intro - I'm single mom to a 2 year old, dating a really great guy for 2.5 months now.


It's BF's birthday on Sunday, I have organized dinner out for him, his family and some friends but am completely flummoxed about what to get him.


Anyone have any thoughts on appropriate gifty things for the early relationship?

If he's into golf, he can ALWAYS use golf balls.

Wow..lots of us with May B-Day Bfs! BE's is this month also as is Moon's man. I'm in the same boat, brainstorming about a gift- except it's been 1.5 years with him so I gotta this right, lol!


What kind of music does he like? How about a CD? Do you know his favorite movie? You could get him the DVD. Or take him out for the evening..dinner and then some "in time" ;o)

I would do something small--I like the CD/DVD idea or, if you want to be more personal, make something for him, from your heart (a framed poem, a framed photograph, something that is very *you*)

I have been trying to think of something since you first posted and am at a loss. Was thinking maybe some nice shaving cream from one of the bath type stores? Or gifty stuff like a picture frame or nice candle?

Thanks everyone...it's kinda weird, though we have only been together a couple of months, we have spent alot of time together and are closer than most 2.5 month couples, but not close enough to do a fancy or "big" gift.


He too has about a billion golf balls! I bought him a pound of his favourite coffee from the local coffee house today and think I might get him a new pair of hoops (earrings) from the local skate and board shop - they have some cool Volcom ones there....GAAAHHH!!!


I did suggest that he move his birthday forward a couple of months just to make this all easier on me...hehehe...but he said no. hah. Besides, then he wouldn't be a taurus which meshes with me being a cancer just great. *grin*


Thanks so much for the suggestions. It's definitly a bit of a pickle!
