Okay - help! Anyone have any ideas on what to get a man for his birthday? We met on eH and have been dating for a little over a month now. The relationship is still in the beginning stages - we are both taking it slow - but I am at a loss as to what is an appropriate birthday gift.

We have not had the "boyfriend/girlfriend" talk yet - but both of us have confirmed that we are not accepting any new matches on eH. I really like this guy - and I think he really likes me. What is an appropriate gift for a man in his early 40s?

Restaurant gift card -- somewhere you like, but he hasn't been?

A weekend of passionate lovemaking?

A Swan 75?

Somthing in a single-malt?

Dinner of some kind?

All of the above?

I thought you'd say a new motorcycle.

A gift bag with a scented candle, really nice disposable razors, shaving gel, moisturizing lotion and you - fresh from the shower. The candle is optional.

I really like the idea of a gift that's something you can do together. For instance, I took a guy kayaking (though the rapids are really pathetic so it's more like canoeing) for his b-day and we had a picnic lunch out on the rocks. This might be a little too long of a date for you guys if you're still taking it really slow. But maybe you could find an activity or event that you both would like to go to and treat him to it. I'd suggest options (Museums, Sporting Events, etc.) but the possibilities are virtually endless and I obviously have no idea what he (and you) might like.

You could cook him dinner. If you've just started dating it may be nice to get to know one another a bit better in a private setting. (Should you feel comfortable with this set up.) I think the personal touch is so nice.

Also like the idea of tickets to some type of local sports game. (Let's hope he takes you along and not one of his buddies.)
