Lila Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Help with a surprise party? Just tell his friends to show up at his place while you are at the dinner and movie. They can decorate the place with streamers and what not. Have a cake there ready for him. When he returns home after the date, he'll be surprised. You only have $100 to spend? That is plenty for a party as long as you keep the attendance under 20. Link to post Share on other sites

yagottahelp Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hey, I'm a guy so this may help a little.......my gf got me an embroidered fleece blanket with our names in the corner together-she's gotten me a few yellow roses, she took me on a picnic one day in the park with just us all day, she'll make up some coupons or something for lunch and a dinner date or something with just a day with us, hope maybe some of those ideas help, i'd personally rather have a ton of little htings from the heart than an actual present, just my 2 cents though!

Lila Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Yep. My guy is hard to shop for too. I usually get him small things and if I over hear him mentioning that he wants something expensive, I buy it for him. Boxers and DVD's don't take much thought, but they always seem to work. The picnic idea is good too. Do you cook? Make him a nice dinner. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
Author baby phat Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 well...i don't usually cook since i am kinda clumsy when it comes down to kitchen stuff..but i guess it would make an even bigger surprise if i did. any good recipes?!?! fun food for couples?!?! or easy to make but still romantic food?!

Wiggin Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 An old saying - "the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Granted, I've also heard jilted females say "chest" instead, but let's move beyond that unpleasantness. I would think that a night of pampering, including a homecooked meal, no matter how simple, with perhaps a backrub afterwards, would be an incredibly thoughtful gift. Can't remember the last time someone did that for me... Point being, a night of pampering is a terrific gift. Though, if you want to assuage your own feelings of "I have to get him something!" you can go with the DVD idea from Lila. Always works. On behalf of my gender, thanks for thinking of ways to be nice to your bf on his special day. Hehehe... Link to post Share on other sites
