Thread: Gift Giving

My boyfriend is really good at giving unique gifts (in 2 yrs he's never given me jewelry). I work with Arabic, and he gave me a really cute camel stuffed animal- I love it. He's also gotten me some dubbed movies/shows like Spongebob in Arabic (very funny to watch). Every Easter he hides a basket for me, and that is pretty sweet. 8 months ago we had to move apart, so he gave me a webcam and headphones and helped me set up skype. He sends me flowers sometimes and always has them when he picks me up from the airport. I love the way he gives gifts because they are always quirky and meaningful at the same time.

I think the best gift I got was back in the honeymoon stage of my relationship. He gave me tickets to see AFI... which he didn't really feel one way or another about. Except, our first date was at an AFI concert! I was touched.

Honestly, I must say that if a guy gave me a gift of most of the things listed here, I would be pissed. I mean really, chocolate? Hearts? Pillows? Candles? I don't need "things" that I'll loose or give away eventually. I like gifts that I will actually use. The worst thing someone can get a significant other is a gift card. That's basically saying "well I know nothing about you, here's 20$"

I've gotten cookbooks, a wallet, and a dart board. My favorite gifts!!!

He knows I love a lingerie store around here, so he gave me a few hundred dollars in gift cards there for my bday a few years ago- loved it!

Within a few months of us getting together was my 18th birthday- I got 18 roses! (and something else which I can't recall)

It's sad after 5 years of being together those are the only things I can remember.
The latest one was for Christmas and our anniversary (which is New Year's), he paid my way for our skiing trip out of the country.

One of the worst gifts I ever got was a dozen roses for Valentine's Day. Only because I had always told him I didn't like roses and told him what flowers I did like. So definitly pay attention to what your SO says.

I got a ring in a fake rose once...ahahaha my very first boyfriend...so cute.
He bought me a necklace too once.
He was an artist, so he would draw things for me too haha
