Birthday gift for new guy

[WhatIsLove2014]

I've been dating this guy for a little over a month. Our birthdays are within days of each other, coming up this week, his is first. I was just wondering what a good gift would be? Something sexual, something cheap, make him a cake? lol ...any advice would be great

A month is not a long time so nothing expensive. What does he like? I would use his hobbies and interests. A sexy pair of pajamas is good. Adding in a baked cake would be great as well .

He likes basketball...doesn't seem to make a big deal out of his birthday but he is excited about mine.

 

He is one of those guys that doesn't want for much and what he does want, he already has.

Considering the time you've been together, something light and fairly cheap. Maybe funny if you're both into that (and you're sure he'll get the joke).

 

A few ideas:

 

- Movies/games

- A nice shirt, tie, jacket, etc.

- Gift cards. Can't go wrong with gift cards

I'm the same way. So go with a gift card to his favourite store, or pick out something you think he'd like.

I really think it's too soon. I gave a guy a tie once after we'd been dating a few weeks and it was his bd and was completely unprepared for it and it made him feel obligated before he was ready to be obligated.

 

My advice is to make him a birthday cake because that is nothing that can be too soon and he will love it, or cupcakes he can take home with him or whatever. And hope he plans something for you two to do to celebrate. If he doesn't invite you on his birthday, not even sure you should give him the cake.

In this situation I baked him his favorite dessert, wrapped up a bottle of his favorite liquor, and took him out to dinner. He said it was a great bday!

A homemade cake and some good ol' fashioned oral, immediately followed by a massage. It will cost you less than $10 and he'll feel like a king.

Another thumbs up for baking. :bunny:

I'd make a cake. Get him a funny or bland card that Happy Birthday, nothing too mushy how sexy / innuendo is up to you. How you sign it may also be an issue. Personally I use "fondly" when I'm not ready for "love". "Best wishes" also works. If you want to get him a gift, I'd suggest something with his favorite team's logo but keep the costs moderate.

I agree with the above and get a cool card or silly card, but I make it a practice to sign my name with "xx" or my actual lip print -- and I do that to friends and lovers, so....

Thanks y'all!!

This is a great idea!

 

Cupcakes and a cute card it is...lip print will be awesome!!

 

We have plans to go out for his belated birthday tomorrow, going out on my birthday on Friday and again on Saturday.

Update:

 

So we went out today and I bought him a card and some cupcakes. But he bought me 2 gift cards totaling $80 plus a card and some candy.

 

I feel like crap! He said it wasn't a big deal because he works and I'm in college and I don't have a job. And he said he loved the cupcakes and they were delicious. But I still feel like crap.

Don't feel bad. He went over the top but the bigger differences is your income levels. Your cupcakes came from the heart which in my book is way more intimate then 2 gift cards; to me gift cards say I'd don't care enough about you to even try to figure out something you would actually like so I'm giving you cash.

 

There's no reason to feel like crap. But assuming you are still together at Christmas time set a budget

Ummm... just going to defend the guy here. They know each other a month, he doesn't know what she wants/likes yet. Gift cards are a good gift.

 

 

Plus, asking strangers what to get (cupcakes) in my book isn't really from the heart but just as clueless as giving gift cards.

 

 

But yea, nothing to feel bad about. He is not expercting expensive gifts from students so no worries.

Thanks y'all! I honestly had no idea what to get him...and I didn't have a lot of money. But I still wasn't expecting him to spend so much especially because 1.) we've only been dating a little over a month, 2.) we haven't even talked about dating exclusively.
