    Or you could ask him straight up what he wants, I doubt we'd know more about your boyfriend than you...

    With computers there is always some accessory that he has not gotten- or that there is a newer/faster/sleeker/larger capacity/better looking version of.

    Computer accessories, while appreciated, may not be the sexiest of birthday pressies though.

    Have you thought about the possibility of maybe doing a few vouchers- along the lines of "This entitles the bearer to X numbers of breakfast in bed / hours assistance with housework / laundry for X number of weeks - the list of possibilities is endless....

    For the person who has absolutely everything- the one thing that they cannot buy is time with the person they love (you!!!). Organising to do things that he likes with you- and do doing them together.

    Who knows if he's a fan, but man that would be a great present for anyone.

    Cheers for the tips folks. To answer some of them I would say: fear of heights for flying lessons, no licence to drive and have done all the paintballing etc..few times. I dont know enough about puters to buy anything related. I ask him every year what he wants - he has no clue.

    The voucher thingy is really good idea - i like. I suppose I should let him feel he has some say in the relationship :p
    I guess a day trip doing all the stuff he likes would be good for him.

    DVD series looks good - we would be sci-fi people. Have seen it advertised alright on sky.

    Thanks for the help - I was panicking for a bit. Have some things to work on now.

    What about my suggestion - you didn't even mention it? It was by far the best, and the most practical: just a downright GOOD idea.
