Ok, so in December a couple days after christmas is mine and my boyfriends one year anniversary. I was thinking of getting him a basket.. or box thing with ALL of his favorite things like cologne, candy, gum, sports hat. (Stuff like that) but I don't know I want to get him something ROMANTIC I guess you can say like something that means a lot we are almost 18 so I have no idea what to do please help !(:

Rather than something romantic, appeal to his inner child and little boy. Bake him a batch of caramel brownies. He will love you forever!

(HE is supposed to get YOU something romantic.)

My boyfriend and I have been on and off for three years now and personal getting him the things he enjoys the most is a good idea because it lets him realize that you remember his favorite things. It shows him you pay attention to him. My boyfriend is 18 and I am 17 we still do the cute little favorite things for each other. It always means more to do it that way. Also have you thought about maybe a personal hand written letter? Teling him all theings you love about him and how thankful you are he's in your life?

If you go with tradition Im pretty sure the 1st anniversary is usually a paper present.. I did this on my 1st anniversary a few yrs back. Made this scroll with 101 reasons I love you, Tea-bagd the page to make it look all old & singed the edges. Also got a photo framed of us and tickets to a show/concert... that way it was romantic,sentimental & we got a night out as well!
