    I'm going out with my current bf for the last 6weeks but we've known each other for the last 18months approx. His birthday is next week and I dont' know what to get him. Any ideas please? All the gift ideas for bf on the net are all related to the 3words and we surely haven't reached that stage in our relationshsip yet so they're not really an option but surely there has to be something I can get that is a nice gesture. Cant think kof anything apart from aftershave (but I don't know what he wears!). He's into most sports, music , films etc All ideas would be really helpful :)

    hey op, have been in this situation before its so head wrecking :D id go with maybe a new football jersey of his fav team...aftershave is good too but men arent fussy so go for the popular ones like, armani code,d&g the one,deisel etc..
    you could get a nice watch some guess ones arent that expensive i suppose you dont want to spend a whole lot since your only a new couple :)
    or maybe something like a cd and bring him out for dinner?
    hope i helped :)

    Tickets for a gig or match.

    Take him out for a nice meal and head out for the night after.....

    Ya can't go wrong all men love yummy grub

    I'm not sure how old you are or his interests, but a good idea if he's into it could be tickets to the Carlsberg Comedy Carnival. Get tickets to a comedian you think he might like, and with the comedy carnival tickets you can show up at any time of the day, and enjoy the street performers, have a few drinks, have some grub and go to a comedy gig. €25 a ticket, and there's usually 3 performers on each slot, and about 12-16 shows a day to choose from.

    +1 to the comedy tickets. Get tickets for an event you can both go to, that's keeping it nice and easy breezy as it's a case of "I got us tickets" rather than lavishing him with an OTT gift when it is still very early days. Leinster are playing London Wasps on 20th August in Donnybrook and the tickets were released yesterday so if he's into rugby that would be a nice gift too.....

    Disagree. You need to get him something. However, a watch for example would be OTT. Tickets for something happening in the next two weeks or so would be perfect IMO.

    well youve known him a year and a half so what did you get him last year? and what did he think of it?

    If you have noticed he has some soreness/ingrown hairs from shaving a DE shaving kit is lovely. They really give much better shave than modern cartridge razors.
    My GF got me one for my birthday and it is excellent.

    Shaving.ie have some great starter kits and very good delivery time.

    Ask in the Facial hair & hats section for advice.

    hey op, i am with my oh only five months now and its coming up to my birthday and hers.

    If it was me all i would expect is something small and meaning full, nothing expensive, like a dvd box set or something that he may have mentioned. If he has mentioned something he has been meaning to get for a while why not see if you can get it, something like that would definately make me over the moon.

    it depends on what he is into though.
    i know how you feel though, im lost as to what to get my oh for her bday. have ideas but meh all you can do is try. like in all honestly if my oh just gave me a hug and a kiss id be delighted, although i havent seen her in about four weeks so it would be unreal for me yakno.

    well any way best of luck pressie hunting, hope it all works out for you! :D
