Dear 1PassionateFem,

If he is adventurous how about something like this? A parachute jump out of an airplane attached to another person and having his picture taken on the way down! It's called a tandem, parachute jump and done with a professional parachuter. There's places that do that kind of thing.

Another idea is a hot air balloon ride for the both of you with a picnic lunch!

Yet another is to go to a site like Zazzle, upload a favorite picture of him, and have it made into regular postage stamps. Affix one to the envelope of the birthday card you mail him at the United States Post Office (USPS) and enclose the others inside the card!

I got a knife for my birthday this year. It was something that I mentioned I really wanted when she and I were out-and-about, and she remembered.

It meant a lot that she noticed, and she even got the ~exact~ blade I was looking at.

I bet there's something he's mentioned. Just listen.

And if all else fails, make him something. It doesn't matter what "it" is, just so long as you make it.

Make him dinner.

Make him a painting.

Make him a photo album.

Make him a cool picture in photoshop, and have it framed.

Make him something for his office.

Make him a poster.

I sorta like those gifts the best, because I'm an "acts of service" kind of guy (see the 5 love languages). I make stuff for gifts all the time, and am passing that down to my son.

All guys like to be serviced. So service him.




- Saul

Looking for unique gift ideas for six month anniversary and X-mas (as it is also right around the corner) for my boyfriend who has everything. The only "sport" he participates in is golf and for his b-day, I came up with personalized golf balls. I am at a lose here. Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.
For a fella who has everything the best you can give him is something which you put lots of thought towards and perhaps even crafted yourself!

Not to mention turning the gift into a thoughtful event.

I think for someone who already has lots of material possessions something which would be new and meaningful is bringing him something he can never possess - nature.
Something raw and powerful and beautiful.

Maybe a visit to a large beach cliff with roaring waves and majestic scenery for a romantic picnic with a lovingly home cooked spread of decadent and luxurious dishes, followed by a walk along the beach. Then perhaps you could do something sweet and simple like driving to an area with large grassy fields to lie back and relax, maybe go seaside horse back riding followed by a night at a good quality bed and breakfast with a good view.

If you're looking for a gift, maybe a golf clubs with his name etched onto it. Or take him out golfing, golf together with him and present him with a vintage golf club with his name on it - and a home baked cake?

Six month anniversary gift? I think the idea is a bit too much to be honest. If a guy gave me a 'six month anniversary gift' it would make me feel like he is making too much of things and it would make me a bit uncomfortable. I'm probably in the extreme minority on this though.

No you are not the tiny minority. I am female and feel the same. I don't think I'd want something really expensive at 6 months.

OP...make sure both of you even want to celebrate the 6 month mark. He may but may not want to, especially with the holidays coming and plenty of holiday milestones coming up. The one year mark is coming up in a few months....why not just mark that one?

And lastly, if you are to give a give, give something fun. A funny card...and maybe a book or something simple...but not much $$$. It might put pressure on the relationship. And keeping things light is always a good choice.
