Stoner Forums - A Marijuana & 420 Friendly Community

Okay, so my boyfriend is turning 21 in less than a month. I can't figure out what to get him!! I don't want to get him a piece, because I'm sure he'd rather pick that out himself, and I'm only 20, so I can't get him liquor. He's an artist. Loves Adult Swim and tons of music-- I'd just like it to be a touch more personal than say, DVD sets or posters. I know this narrows things down... But please! Suggestions?! It's driving me nuts.

Get him a nice pair of pants. That may sound weird, pants are a great gift though. They last, they're useful, I like mine with lots of pockets. It's personal and practical, perhaps even a set of boxers to go along with it.

Something personal he would enjoy... he's turning 21... artist who enjoys Adult Swim...

Really, when it's from someone you care a great deal about, usually the best gift costs little to nothing. Try something that is meaningful, requires effort, but not necessarily requires you to spend money.

For example, a few years ago I had written a list for my fiance' (At the time... Didn't end up working out some time later. ) which was "101 Reasons Why I Love You". It may seem mushy, corny, or whatever, but if it is something that shows how much you care about them, how well you know them, and how much effort you put into the gift, it won't fail. I guarantee it.

Here's a few suggestions:
- Why not do a little searching on the internet and find out what song was #1 on each of his birthdays, then burn a CD of all 21 on them? Even if they aren't songs he enjoys, they'll all mean something special.
- Maybe make some kind of collage with pictures of each of you through the years? Start with toddlers and work your way up to when you became a couple and end it on his 21st birthday with a picture you take together when you give it to him and add it in that day?
- Set aside a day and devote it to him. Give him 21 little presents throughout the day (Make him breakfast, give him little candies, take him out to dinner, maybe a massage) and with each gift give him a little envelope with a number on it (1 - 21) and tell him he can't open them until he gets all 21. At the end of the evening after your final gift, once you present him with the last envelope, have him open them all and within each envelope have a line to a poem you composed.
- Buy him 21 birthday cards and sign them all and work with friends and family members to have each of them give him one of them throughout the course of the day.

Those are just a few suggestions, but you can get the general idea. Good luck and I hope this helped!

i'm sorry but if it is a 21st birthday is he not having a party?..could you try and get in contact with some of his old childhood friends?...i'm sorry i have know clue how to do this--it's just one of my mates got in contact with one of his old mates and was really happy--flood of childhood memories....he's turning into a full man, so he may need/want/appreciate that....

Is he a sports fan? If so buy him some really good tickets to his favorite sporting event. Since he is into music maybe buy him some concert tickets. Buy something sexy from victoria secret and save that present for when its just you and him. He will enjoy opening it. or if he is into gaming get him a PS3 or 360. Can't go wrong there.

There have been a whole lot of great ideas here, some i may use myself one day. Find out what his favorite thing to do is, then, get him a gift that has something to do with that. Personal , hand written cards and the like are always treasured keepsakes. I still have birthday cards my kids gave me 25 years ago. They mean more to me than any gift i ever got from them. Ya can't go wrong with personally made cards and gifts. IMO


heart

happy birthday to your boyfriend

Thanks guys!! A lot of these are really good ideas, especially the home-made kind of things. I'm definitely in the right direction now. You BOYS can be so hard to buy for!! Seriously though, thanks!

And no worries, the fat sack is just a given for birthdays!

Birthday gift should be really a very cool Like comic book for her. This will show her you put some extra time, effort, and thought into her bday, yet not be creepy.

Thanks for stealing my suggestion you stoner!
