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

Yes. I was thinking to cook him a dinner too..
lolol.. what's up with crabs and snacks?? boyfriend is always eating snacks even at work
same with my dad (also a crab), he won't stop chewing.. always something in his mouth

ok. so i guess stuffs you can get from the malls don't mean much to you guys.. πŸ˜‰

Well yeah pretty much LOL. We love food, & anything with sentimental value. If you do buy him something from the mall, make sure it's something sentimental. But yeah we lovve snacks. Try buying him a lot of snacks, & he'll never stop loving you lol πŸ˜‰. What can you expect from a Crab haha. I think you'll be just fine

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. πŸ™‚

I answer this question the same way for every woman unsure of what to give their boyfriend/husband as a gift, and I am completely serious. What you can give him is free and fun: a blowjob and sex. Trust me, that's the best gift ever for a guy. They'd much rather have that than something materialistic. Just show him a good time, and he'll love you forever!

Well sex is good, but taking the time to do something thoughtful like cooking for him or buying his favorite snacks is always kool. Romance should always be apart of the relationship regardless of birthdays. I think this lady will be ok

@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 πŸ˜‰
I hope he gets the joke when he sees the card lolol

@CancerOnTheCusp
that's a very good idea πŸ˜‰ i'm going to use that for our one year anniversary hehe.
