From my experience chocolate is always appreciated, by everyone^^ (okay i work in a chocolate store so maybe my opinion doesn't count^^)

Well christmas is coming up and me and my bf is celebrating a late christmas at new years eve. We haven't been together for that long (sort of celebrating 1 month around there, not precise but kind of...) but I was thinking of getting him a mp3 or ipod and put just one song on it in advance. Because he always listen to music on his way to school (and falls asleep) and the song I was thinking of putting on the mp3 is a song that I fall asleep to all the time (plus it's very sweet). Am I exaggerating a bit or do you think I can get away with it? ^^

I think it's a sweet idea. Personally, I wouldn't spend too much money on a gift if it's only been one month. For me, it makes it seem like you're trying to one-up someone. I'd prefer to go for something smaller, preferably with more sentimental value.

heeey,

do you guys know where to find a place to customize shoes? like example sewing the name in the shoes? or in general just to customize shoes.

i really need help

for christmas, im planning on recording our song and putting it in a build a bear with his fav. football team outfit.. is it too cheesy? we've only dated for 2 mths.. and im going to his home state with him for christmas.. so i want it to be special.. any suggestions?

Hahah my bf gave this to me for Valentine our first year. He had 3 sound thingys on it. One said "I LOVE YOU" in our language, the other hand was a song, on the foot was another one too. He dressed him in a Raider outfit; raider jacket,jeans and shoes.. When he gave it to me, he was dressed just like the bear =] cost him $70 something, we were dating for 4 months only i think, so long ago...

Chocolate sounds about right I guess... maybe i'll just buy a chocolate gift set at godiva or something..
An ipod seems a little bit much for just one month but since it's also for christmas, then it'll be ok. I think its a cute idea.

Food was the first thing that came into mind. Think of something that they will like. I'm sure anything will do. How about cutting up fruits and making a fruit platter? If you really don't know how to make anything, buy something. Sparkling Apple cider, a box of fruits (typical asian style gift), nuts...

-Is this an OK gift to give for Christmas, [with cupcakes and a card]

any suggestions to make my gift better? lol

[chocobb]

so, I just found out that I am invited to a little dinner with my boyfriend and his parents since it's his mom's birthday.
Any ideas as to what kind of a small gift I can get her..? I was thinking of getting a cake, but I feel as I should also get another small gift since they invited me as well.. any ideas will be great =)

What do you get parents for christmas!?

i'm thinking of getting them something like..for couples..(example: couple t-shirts) but these are my parents, they're too old for couple t-shirts XD

my mother is a very practical person so i'm thinking getting her something she can use, and as for my dad, he pretty much doesn't care...

SO, what is something for a couple that is practical so they can use? i just thought of mugs..is that a good idea? does anyone have a better idea?

[xLionHeartx]

So.. christmas is also our first month. she's not very lovey dovey type, i wanted to get her something practical but im not sure if its just the guy in me thinking that way. shes a very tough girl. she told me she spent somewhere in the 3 digit range and i can spend up to 500 if i really wanted to but granted, it is still the first month.

I'm pretty lost and i'm currently going through this whole thread to think about what i should do.. someone help! I also told her that I'm broke so I asked her if its okay if I didn't get her anything and she said "I guess". Obviously I'm planning on getting her something but "what" to get her is the problem....

[__forensic]

I'm thinking about getting my boyfriend a custom made bear
At Built-A-Bear workshop probably for our 1 year, but
I was wondering if (since he's in the Marines) I should
Get him a decked out Marine bear or a girl bear
That resembles me.
I was wondering...Is it weird if you give a guy a bear that's a girl?

Haha, thanks

I'm in an after school club and we're doing secret santas. I got someone I don't really know and her's really annoying and sarcastic. I heard he and one of his friends like making videos or something. I'm trying to get a cheap gift because I'm tight on money. Any suggestions? I need to get it before Thursday. I might just buy a box of cookies or something for him ><

so i really want to get my boyfriend an engraved dog tag necklace for christmas but i'm on a bit of a budget. anyone know where i can get dog tag necklaces and engravings for a reasonable price?

also, while i'm asking for help, i will throw a suggestion out there for anyone who may like the idea. our one month is coming up this wednesday, and i'm gonna keep it simple but sweet. i have a few puzzle cards from korea where the puzzle is like a postcard so you can write a message on the back, break up the pieces, and have the person put it together and read the message on the back. there's also a smaller picture of the card on which you can also write the message on the back to be of assistance. not sure where you can specifically get the cards but you can always improvise and create a puzzle yourself. i'm gonna distribute the pieces and place them on his desk in each of his classes (which will require careful planning, talking to teachers, etc. haha) and by the end of the day he'll have the whole puzzle ready to be put together ^^

The last poster said the coupon still works even though it's past the expiration date.

Hope it works!
