My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 months, and I don't know what to get him. We are a dorky couple and he likes simple things, but also techy stuff, and working out. Please help asap. He is 18 and so am I

Hey,
You should get him something that you know he can use everyday, so when he uses it hell have to think of you. Don't go all out on the price if you like the guy and see something in him then get him something adverage $50-$100 gift or a iPod or something like that.

Well we've both said a limit of 20 bucks because we're college students, and our hours got cut at work.

Here's a good idea, and most practical people (especially guys) adore it: Give him a basket filled with things he uses everyday, ie: his shower gel, favorite cologne, if he has a vice (like chewing gum) get him some gum, his favorite candy, a box of his favorite cereal, a blanket, etc. these things are practical, and very thoughtfull- especially since you're college students and money is tight. You could also get a pizza pan and a homeade pizza kit and turn it into a pizza-making date. There are tons of practical and simple things you could get for him that he would LOVE- since you're only 2 months in, you don't have to get all personal and romantic- your options are wide open.

Thanks so much! That's what I was thinking I just wasn't positive. I was going to give hime some of my homemade cookies too

[jaime90]

The homeade cookies are an awesome idea! My mom and dad always used to give each other these kinds of gifts for Christmas. I have memories of my mom giving dad a pizza kit and pan, and of course mom wrapped up a couple boxes of Fruity Pebbles for my dad =) These gifts are practical, thoughtful, and... he might just be happy at the fact that you know what his favorites are.

Hah yeah. He's just lucked out I'm such a good baker.

[jaime90]

There you go, bake him some treats!

He's a techy, a cute little 8gig flash drive/thumb drive can be gotten for $10-$20 nowadays. Always useful!

Get him a picture fram with a cute picture of the two of you

[chautauquan]

Get him a Swiss Army Knife. You can get REAL ones, Used and even REFURBISHED for under $10 on Amazon.com, like the Classic which hangs on your key chain. Check them out All kinds of colors. Get one for yourself as well!

You know what is a nice inexpensive gift, a card and a stuffed bear. Lots of girls forget about how manly we men are but deep down we sometimes like to have sentimental gifts which makes us remember the sweetheart in our love lives.
