help!! my boyfriend's birthday is coming up in a week.. and I donno what should I give him..
he's turning 40 this year and I don't think he lacks anything as for now
Last Christmas I gifted him a cashmere scarf, he wasn't so thrilled.. but he liked the card I made by myself
so my guess is he probably likes something that I make personally for him?
my idea now is to bake him a cake.. but other than that.. what else?
we're together for only about a year.. so I don't want the gift seems too much for it
any thought guys?

Exactly, you should make something kool or sentimental for him. Like make a birthday card with drawings from you on it. Also put how much he means to you & all the qualities you admire about him inside of it. Try making him a gift basket with all his favorite snacks & drinks. Also instead of taking him to a restaurant, Cook for him. Ask what his favorite foods & cook that with a romantic night. We like it when people make us stuff & bring us snacks. So do that

Have pictures of you two together?

Make a little scrap book with pictures and funny comments about each particular time.
It will get him walking down memory lane and maybe score some points. 🙂

wow! thanks for all the inputs guys! really appreciated 🙂


@2BlackIndian3
so I did a little watercolor painting of a cute bunny eating raspberry last night
and I'm going to make that to a birthday card
I showed him that video weeks ago and referred him eating like that rabbit 😉
I hope he gets the joke when he sees the card lolol

@CancerOnTheCusp
that's a very good idea 😉 i'm going to use that for our one year anniversary hehe.
thank you!!

@M00Nchild
