    Hey everyone !!! :)

    Just wondering has anyone any good ideas as to what I could get my boyfriend for his 21st, it's coming up in the next few months. Can't really afford anything too extravagant, as we're both saving for a three week holiday in Canada this August coming. Was thinking of giving him driving lessons with a very reputable driving instructor in our area. That was his original plan, had he not been going to Canada with me. Any ideas ??? Thanks !!! :D

    I got my boyfriend a watch and took him to London for a week.
    Maybe get him something he'll have long term as it'll remind him of you etc.
    that or do up a book of things you have done together with captions and pictures etc!?!

    Only with him about a month. The whole personal touch, photo thing, is alot along the line of what I'd usually like to do, but as we're not together that long, don't really have much to use and it's a bit much at this early stage in the relationship.

    If your a dab hand at sketching maybe sketch a picture of the two of ya. My girlfriend did a sketch of the two of us for valentines. Twas a nice personal touch. Nice and planely framed, cool stuff.
    Or even check out something like http://www.thecanvasworks.ie/

    My bro and his girlfriend got something like that. From her to him.

    Just to note, the canvas works arnt the cheapest! I think the 'Funky' ones are the nicest but they do start from €165 so as I say, maybe check out something similar

    Nope, far from artistic I am, so there goes that idea !!! :eek: Haha.

    Yeah, I've seen them canvas things before and they're pretty cool.

    I know he's mad into aircraft and flying and all that sort of stuff, but he's had a flying lesson before so dunno whether to do that again or not. Considering we're going to Canada later this year, can't really afford to go to mad for his birthday and he'd kill me if I did !!! :eek: Hmmm, not sure still. :confused:
