HokeyReligions Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 What does he like? How personal or romantic do you want to make it? What do you want to say with the gift? I know I'm no help. If he has hobbies or collects something - get him something that goes along with a hobby or a collectible. Maybe a book or CD that he might like. You could make a "coupon book" to go along with it. I know that is trite, but if you are creative it could be fun and a great way to get some info to him. I made a coupon book once for a digital publishing course in college. It was a little racy for the class, but so many people liked it that they asked if they could buy them from me to give to their own boyfriends/husbands! I had coupons for things like a free foot rub, one day with the TV remote and no interruptions! Once total couch-potato/football filled Sunday (I brought him snacks and stuff and he didn't have to get up for anything except to go potty). I used different fonts and clip-art and one had a free "blow-job" with a picture of a face, like old-man-winter blowing an arctic wind - but everyone knew what the coupon was for! It was appreciated and he did use some of the coupons, but he also didn't feel "cheated" materialistically because the coupon book was wrapped with an album that he wanted. If that first restaurant is bad, re-create it at home -- make menus, use posterboard to re-create the walls of the place, rearrange the furniture, and cook food like what you had then.

clia Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 6 months dating? How old are you? I don't think you should give him anything but a big kiss, unless he's been mentioning that your anniversary is coming up and making a big deal about it. And even then, I think a card should suffice from your end. In general, I don't think men remember or put as much stock into "monthly" anniversary dates. (A year, sure, but a six month?) Are you sure he even remembers? Are you doing this for him because you expect to get a present or something from him? Don't be disappointed if you don't. The real question is...why are you planning on taking HIM out and not the other way around? That just seems weird to me. But, that's just my opinion... Link to post Share on other sites
Just A Girl2 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Yep..a lot of men have trouble remembering the 1 yr anniversary (especially when dating).....so for them to think about the 6 month anniversary, pretty unlikely. Us gals generally tend to make more out of these things. Most men just don't. I personally don't see 6 months of dating as a huge milestone in the relationship that's worthy of celebration. 1 year, okay, but not 6 months. Some guys might even feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable if their g/f made a big deal of the 6 month mark....maybe thinking she was a lot more serious about things than they are? A simple card, if you must do something, is good enough. Nothing too mushy, either. I like those cards that are funny/flirty/cute/witty and a little romantic (Shoebox greeting cards, I believe?)......some men can tend to get overwhelmed by big lovey dovey mushy cards. Course it depends on the guy. Link to post Share on other sites
