I need help with shoppin for a boy. You're all boys...
2003-12-04, 2:32 PM #1
Yeah so, i'm currently not the richest person on the planet as to how many ppl i need to shop for, and how much money i have... But i gotta get my boyfriend something. Right now, im aiming to get him a pair of boxers, a chain (something inexpensive, not thuggish or anything, jus something nice, more casual than one of those 'we're uber committed' statement chains), and making a scrap book of pictures of us n movie stubs, and general stuff that concerns us. point is, ive found out that what hes gettin me is like perfect :P apparently he went shopping and he was at the right place at the right time and met the right store employee coz he's going wild with excitement till i see what it is [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] so its not like im trying to top him or anything, but i feel bad coz im in a financial slump, and he isnt so i was wondering if you guys had any ideas for things i could get him/make him that would be cool for christmas. I'm probably gonna stick to gettin him what i am right but if i see some neat ideas i'll prolly add 'em on the list, or maybe replace some of mine :P ...so yeah and his b-day is in jan, so im not gettin him any cd's or movies because thats what i'll get him on his b-day. as for the boy himself, he's..er.. he likes metal..likes xbox..really sensitive guy..um..totally whipped...wont ever say he hates waht i got him :P

help me please im going shopping tomorrow! thanks guys [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I'd say if he's sensitive he would like the scrapbook better than just about anything else you could get him. I can't speak for all guys, but I don't really care about what I get that much. Men really shouldn't be that hard to shop for. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I would like to get boxers. Make sure they same something with an inuendo or something. That's always good, and takes away from the 'my gf bought me clothes' thing. Instead, its 'my gf bought me clothes, but they are funny.' Laughing is fun. christmas should be fun.

I assume since you linked me to your thread and shouted WANGY at me, you would like me to respond, so I'll give you my two cents.

Boxers from a girlfriend: This can go two ways, for it to go the way you want it to go, make sure, like Cazor says, that they have some sort of "dirty" slang on them. Something that hints that you want him to wear them for you. Even if you don't ever see him in nothing but those boxers, that's what makes it OK for you to buy them, because it's the thought that counts.

Scrapbook: I am the most affeminate guy I know, and I would love it if my girlfriend put together a scrapbook chronologing our relationship. Funny thing is, I collect all the movie stubs from the movies we go to, so she'd have to do some scheming to get her hands on them.

Chain: I don't know what kind of chain has "overly committed" written all over it, but as a guy I would have to say, that a plain chain would be good. If you want a pendant to be on it, Man-Lockets are hard to come by, but they do exist. They're kinda like an engraved dog-tag that would have something like yours and his names on it, and inside a pic of the two of you. I had one at one point, but I threw it in a river. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

It sounds to me that you've got things pretty figured out. If he's really a cool guy, get him a flower too. You may not think that a guy would dig it, but we do. Most of us anyways. It's embarassing, but he'll like it. Well, he probably will. Again, your judgment call. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I'm not an expert or anything, but if you're saying he's a sensitive guy, and won't say anything if he doesn't like what you give him, and your low on funds (like most of us). If I was in your situation I would give make him that scrapbook/picture book you were talking about which would be cool. I would also make him a nice dinner, with wine. Get him a cheap X-box game, there are some decent ones for under $20. and......Give him some love. (naked counterstrike is always fun though)

I'd honestly suggest avoiding any clothing items or anything a guy would choose from their own sense of style. You're a girl, so it might be construed that you don't think his choice of underwear is suitable.

Instead, get him something fun. Tickets to a show or a sporting event, or even a Gameboy game if that's his thing.
