gift advice needed

lauren_f

hi people,
ive been having awful problems recently with affording gifts for people on occassions. im a student and as i have no job, i am a bit broke all the time. howver, seeing as its my bf and my first yr together on sunday, i put 200 euro aside to save for a gift, the problem is i cant think of anything to get him?
any ideasss?

Ok here goes some suggestions:

Boxset of his favourite TV show or one of these fine pieces of work: The Wire, Flight of the Conchords, Heroes, Sopranos (depending obviously on what he's into)
A really cool limited edition copy of his favourite novel.
Tickets to an amazing gig in a foreign city - make a weekend of it.
Gadgets Gadgets Gadgets!!! (if he's a gadget guy)
Subscription to his favourite magazine.
Hot Air Balloon trip.

If you're a broke student, €200 is crazy money to be spending on an anniversary gift, especially with Christmas around the corner. Spend €70 at a push.
What to get him is something I can't advise on, as I have no idea what he's interested in.

You know him better than anyone on here so i don't think anyone here will be able to help you.
Also after a year you'd think you have some kind of idea on what he likes and be able to come up with some ideas for a present.

Oh and: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=853 might be a better place to try

I discuss some sort of spending budget with him tbh

200 euro is ridiculous if you're a student, what the hell!? Whooaaa there lady, you're only going out a year. A really nice home-cooked dinner and a fabulous blow job would be way more appreciated tbh.

Instead of spending the money to impress him, make the effort of making a card yourself, write a poem in it or something and think of something really thoughtful & creative that won't cost the earth to buy. He'd appreciate something like that for alot longer than an expensive gift.

Thats my 2c worth anyway!

If he doesn't appreciate that, then you've got a crap boyfriend.

Dont spend that much money - its crazy.

Do a varierty of things e.g. buy tickets to see a local band, his favourite old movie on dvd, make a cd for him, cook him dinner , a vintage comic etc etc.

I much prefer 'effort' gifts to 'spending' gifts....

You could always refer to the threads on this topic that you've already started, twice.

after seeing your other threads lauren i'd have to say spending 200 euro on a guy who mightnt even love you is sheer madness. if he still hasnt said it and you love him after 5/6 moths i'd call it quits. i mean this in the nicest way possible, you cant make someone love you with big gifts.
besides all that you're a student. spend 50 quid on dvds/games/cds and call it quits.

Once again you post what is really not a PI.

You have continually done this despite my several PMs asking you to stop.

You did not acknowledge any of those.
