I'm bumping this b/c I have a question about gifts for boyfriends. My friend is planning on giving her boyfriend a scrapbook of them together for their 1 year anniversary. She got mad at me when I told her that while the gift is very thoughtful , it's not the kind of thing men really want. I told her she'd be better off giving him something he can really use and appreciate like something for his guitar, or something that's surfing related since that's what he likes. I also told her that a scrapbook is a great gift for women but not really the ideal gift for men. She's now mad at me b/c she thinks I insulted her gift. In hindsight, I probably was a little tactless but was I right to tell her this or should I have kept my mouth shut? I don't know b/c I've always gotten my fiance gifts I know he would use & want like sports gifts, movies, & stuff like that.
