    This is my first Christmas with my boyfriend and I want to make it special, I have no idea what to get him though :confused: He's really into Word War 2, Band of Brothers...that kind of thing. Would anyone have any ideas along those lines?

    Thanks guys :D

    You! In a pretty red bow. Should do the trick ;-)

    Don't do the jumper.

    One of the best gifts I got when I was just going out with my then girlfriend was when she brought me out for dinner and then to a pub.

    After we left the pub, we were saying our goodbyes at the taxi rank before she told me she'd booked us into the hotel across the road.

    We spent the night there and the whole next day too.

    I thought she was the best girlfriend in the world after that.
    :)

    Edit: That was better than a jumper

    How about a selection of war Movies on DVD? Christmas Time is synonymous in our house with The Great Escape, so that, and The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Longest day etc.

    Maybe include a jokey one too, like Pearl Harbour? The romance may not interest him, but it does have one of the best aerial battle scenes of any war movie.
