Onlyjonley Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 My boyfriend's birthday was today. We had already celebrated with dinner, cake and gifts over the weekend, but I wanted to do something for him today. So at work yesterday, I doodled several birthday notes/drawings on some post-its. Nothing major. Then last night while he was at the gym, I stopped by his house and hid them in different places (shower, iPad, underneath his xbox controller, sock drawer, beer fridge, etc.) I figured he would just laugh and call me goofy and be done with it. Guys are stereotypically known for not being big on the cheesy/sappy stuff. But he was absolutely thrilled and texted me each time he found a note, telling me how awesome it was for me to do that. When I got to his house tonight, he had them all stacked together, showed me his favorite ones, and said he was going to save them. You guys, I almost teared up. The fact that something so simple and small meant that much to him was so touching! I was just very surprised. I've held back on that sort of thing before, thinking that because he was a guy, he wouldn't really be interested. I just had to come here and share. How many of you guys here like the cheesy, cutesy stuff like that?
Ninjainpajamas Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I've never been big on cards but I like the post it notes myself too, because it's a nice surprise. I also like letters and notes. But I probably wouldn't be a good gauge for what is typical for men to like, but post its sounds like a good thing to me...plus we like them because they're cool and they stick!
