sleeplessincnd Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Ok so my BF is in the military and leaving me for 6 months in February I want to get him something for Christmas that he will be able to take with him to remind him of me and us. The regular gifts of clothes and cologne just won't do. What is the male equivalent of a promise ring or something like that. I want him to have it with him and have no doubt in his mind that I will be hear waiting for him and loving him the whole time he is away doing his job. Any ideas? Keep in mind that he is not allowed to really where jewelery and already has a ring he bought himself overseas that he is fond of and won't likely part with.. this is a tough one so I really appreciate any suggestions and creative ideas! Thanks in advance!
jayteresa Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 A couple of years ago my chap had to go back to australia for six months including the xmas period. As it was quite far away we did not know what to send each other. In the end I suggested we make each other a small gift to remind us of one another. He ended up sending me a home made photo album of his home in oz and pictures of the great times we had together before he left. It made me so happy and feel reassured about our relashionship. Sometimes its the simpler things in life that mean the most!.

Pendawn Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 How about a watch with something inscribed on the back like "time or distance won't change my love for you"?

Thanks in advance! Get him laid! :-) And then I *would* give him basic items he could *really* wish he had when he's away because he'll feel glad he has it and he will though "transferance" have similar feelings towards you. Things that remind him of his home town and America (if he is leaving the country), choose fairly wisely maybe do your homework and google it. He'll be all mushy inside even though he doesn't show it.. Then also get him something he would always have with him like a necklace with maybe a cross or something with your initials.
