I need to give my ex boyfriend a special gift of Appreciation - a well deserved Thank YOU? If I Thank Him I can find some closure in my life... Thanks

If you guys ended relationship on good terms why don't you just e-mail him or write a letter.But from sound of it you you broke up with him he may not want anything from you?

Lowtax4eva · Apr 24, 2007, 10:37 AM

It depends, who broke up with who and why are you thanking him

You know the best gift my ex girlfriend gave me?

Space! Lots of it!

OK so that's kind of mean but its true...
If u broke up on bad terms, thank him by not crossing his path ever again
If you broke up on good terms get him something engraved those things are always nice to remember someone by :)

Hope this was helpful!

He's your ex. Why on Earth would you get him something? And how is that going to bring closure? Because you did something nice for him? That's not closure--that's a temporary fix for guilt or something.

I agree with Same old situation in that I think this is a tempory fix for guilt or something else.

If he broke up with you then leave it be. If you broke up with him and were a complete nutcase about it, then give him the gift of the truth and explain what why you really broke up with him so he isn't left wondering.

Either way, don't get him anything, it's not worth the effort!

Everything my ex got me either ended up going back to her, or going in the bin!

Big reminders of past relationships aren't a good idea!

If he's your EX, why on earth would you want to continue in contact with him?
Something smells a little fishy here... I agree with the others

If you ended on good terms, just send him a nice beautiful thank you note telling him how the moments spent with him would be cherished for the rest of your life...
If it was ended with bitterness, then simply write Thank You notes to people who have helped you move on(like me and other in this forum! ) and being there when you needed them and not to your EX.

I would definitely think long and hard what you want this gift to say. You don't want him to think you want to get back together, or if you do. I'd check out some online stores, and then think about the things he used to like.
Good Luck!

I can speak from someone who got a gift from my ex after our mutual break up. And I can tell you now I didn't like the gift. Not that the gift wasn't nice, but all the questions that came with it. Like "does he still want to be together" and "what's he feeling guilty for that he thinks that a gift is necessary" and a few more. Just leave it as a thank you and move on. If the others are right and you are feeling guiltly for something then be upfront and come clean and if you are sorry the say it, and mean it.. But a gift is not a good idea.
