    Hey boardsies,
    I am going out with a guy now for 2 years and I love him deeply.
    However when it comes to presents I find it very hard to pick for him.

    Can anyone suggest some ideas for a Valentines present?
    Has anyone seen anything nice in any shop worth mentioning?
    Girls, what are you getting your boyfriends?

    I have a very low budget but I want to please him on the day. I've bought him a card and that's about it so far.
    I was going to buy him a teddy I saw for 5 euro (really nice) but realised guys don't want teddybears

    Any help would be much appreciated...

    Steak & blowjob.

    Seriously, 10% of all my posts are probably made up of the two words.

    Thank the baby jaysus you thought better of the teddy bear. Why don't you buy him a six-pack and a bit of reefer if he's into that? I don't think guys are as big on Valentine's Day as women are. You could also buy some sexy lingerie and gift him a sexy night. I dunno, I'd do one of those things, but I imagine I'm in the minority.

    You can never go wrong with this. Not very original, but it doesn't need to be. It's a classic.

    You could give him some tickets that you make yourself for various pleasurable things eg Massage, blow jobs, etc be imaginative. Cheap as you'll get. :D

    Thanks guys. The only thing about the blowjob idea is that he gets them all the time anyway. It doesn't need to be Valentines.
    Basically, would a guy feel as loved with a big teddy bear that says ''I love you'' on it, as he would with a dvd?

    I'm not a dude, but I think most guys would prefer a DVD. What's a man going to do with a teddy bear that says "I love you"? Probably find a nice space in the closet for it, tbh.

    Defo get a dvd over a teddy.

    Don't just grab any old dvd. Maybe a cool box set?

    He'll understand if you're on a low budget tbh. So a dvd, a meal and a bottle of wine. The desert can be left to your own imagination.:P

    Now there is someone who grew up during the celtic tiger. Low budget = DVD, meal AND bottle of wine???

    A low budget present for me is less than a tenner. So a bottle of wine from Aldi/Lidl = 5 quid and a Card.

    My OH and I have said no presents this year because she says she never knows what to get me, whereas her presents from me are always obvious to me e.g. Flowers, chocolates, anything with a heart on it etc.

    Is his birthday coming up anytime soon, OP? On valentines day, give him a big hug and a long wet kiss and tell him you love him, but you could not find a suitable present for him, and instead of wasting money on rubbish you will get him something special for his birthday.
