Christmas gift for a guy

etahannah · #1 10-13-2003, 12:46 PM

ok...i need some help. i need to start thinking about what to get my best friend/roommate for Christmas. that is the easy part. here is the hard part. for my birthday he got me some joke presents and then gave me this tiny little box wrapped in gold wrapping paper with a red bow on top. inside sat this BEAUTIFUL ring. it is a three stone sapphire ring set in white gold from kay's. (think about those past/present/future rings - the bigger stone sits in the middle and two smaller ones on either side) so i need to start thinking and looking for a really good present for him. any suggestions? i really need them!!

thanks!!

Is he in a fraternity? You could always get him his fraternity's official ring. I know it would be what I would want, lol

Example:

Other ideas: Watches, like a nice Citizen or Seiko.

real men dont use tools. they hire people to do that stuff.

How about a set of gold cufflinks and matching tie clip/bar with either your school seal or fraternity crest?

Did you get him the new Madden football game?

I like Knock Out Kings as well. I love beatin the crapp out of Lenox Lewis.

NCAA 2002 is my favorite out of all the NCAAs.

No, I got him the one that came with a game (I think it's ATV 2 or something like that). I'm going to get him more games for Christmas, but I don't have the $ to go crazy buying him games right now after spending $200 on the system, so he'll have to either rent games or buy them himself until then. Thanks for the suggestions, though, I'll keep them in mind.

well...he just got a BRAND new truck so that is out. he is not in a fraternity so that rules out a ton of great stuff to get. the game station stuff is fun but i dont think that would fit his personality so much. tools are fun but i dont know about those either. see why this is so hard!?! i really appreciate the suggestions. you all rock....any more suggestions?!? hehe...

on a side note....the fraternity idea rocks! my brother just signed his bid for SAE and is going through the new member/pledge/probation period right now. so guess what he is getting for christmas?!?! a ton of SAE stuff!! SAE stuff will be so much more fun to buy than the same old gift certificate that i have bought him for the last 8 years!!

Since he just got a new truck, maybe you could get him a nice keychain engraved with his initials or something like that.

(Check out Things Remembered; they have a good "Gift ideas for him" page here)

Ok, so he got a new truck...what kind? Does he use it for anything in particular like hunting or off road? Because you can do something related to his new truck. I like the cuff link idea that someone posted. Is he in the military because you could always use that with the cuff links - instead of just the school. What are his hobbies? Let us know because since he's not greek I don't have a clue! It's always easier just to buy cool greek stuff. Does he collect anything? My boyfriend collects model cars - like imports - and some are super hard to find so that's what I always do for birthday/cristmas and it's never too much - like $50 tops.
