boyfriends and xmas

DeiseGal

Hi All,

I know its a tad bit early to be thinking xmas pressies but i really would love to be sorted a few weeks before and miss all the madness. Any ideas on what a male, 25 would love for xmas. I really have no idea what to get my bf.
Clothes, aftershave, cds, playstation games, an adventure voucher of some sort. What do guys really really want. Keep it clean

I'd love a new guitar, but perhaps that wouldn't suit your fellow?

You should really give us some info, what does he like to do? What are his interests?

A nice jumper

Almost all guys love gadgets, theres some deadly stuff on www.iwantoneofthose.com
Maybe you could find something there ?

If we're talking an item of clothing for Christmas, I'd say something like a nice jacket would be more on par. A jumper is more like something your aunt would get you.

How about some nice socks? Or a tie?

If he is into his computers maybe a Nintendo Wii could be in order, its released on the 8th of December and its around €249!!

I normally spend a couple of hundred, he likes footie games on the playstation and has just bought the new fifa game,has a vast amount of cds, have already bought him a new watch for his BD so i really am limited.
Last xmas i got him a voucher for mondello so how can i top that one.
Will look into that new nintendo thingy but anymore suggestions would be excellent. Thanks

The new ipod nanos? They've updated them so they come in a few different bright colours now and at 209 for 4GB of music they're a pretty good buy. If he cares about charity and all that you could pick him up the Product Red version too, which is the same price but 10 euro of apples profits go towards helping cure aids in africa.

I have to admit. I love vouchers but my wife would never get me them cos she thinks they are impersonal.

I would say go the gadget route...playstation, iPod etc.

Actually just remembered. My mate got taken on one of these for a present this year and he found it fascinating..

Obviously depends on the person though.

DeiseGal

Great ideas so far - please keep them coming. Thanks

You could try one of those large hardback books with glossy pictures. i.e. History of football/film etc. Whatever he's into. Might have to get something else to go with it though, if you're splasing out.

Audioslaven

Why dont you get a cool pair of jeans and a shirt/top and maybe a cat suit for yourself. He be purrin mad for you!!!!

DeiseGal

Now theres an idea, why didnt i think of that!

embee

Does he drive?

If so, you could get him a days driving at Mondello Park. Prices start at €249.

she already got him a watch :rolleyes:

Did you try asking him what he wants?
sometimes the reply is "surprise me" but maybe there's something he'll want to ask for...
