I'm in need of some relationship advice...

I've been with my significant other for over 6 months, and we're going to be in Ireland for a wedding. I really appreciate him sticking with me and just being himself...and I was wondering what a good gift would be to show him that I really care about him.

I'm not thinking about engagement rings or anything that serious ~~yet~~, but something that is tangible that he can look at and admire...and you know, think of me and smile. I'm just not used to dating and buying gifts.

To all those that know James, please don't mention this conversation...that means you, Jesse.

Edit: I meant Scotland...not Ireland. =\

	A watch. A really fancy and expensive one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's a good idea. Although, I'm not sure that he'd ever wear it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pocket watch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are a fan of time pieces, I take it. I'll have to ask his best friend about his thoughts on them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're a nice way to show a man you care. Unless James likes jewelry! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess I haven't been paying attention to his 'accessorizing." Now I feel like bad boyfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd know him better than I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose I do. I do appreciate the input though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Most people appreciate gifts that are unexpected and out of the norm. Think about something you know he's wanted, or just something that would mean as much to him as he does to you at this point in your relationship. Say he likes giraffes, you can get him something with a giraffe on it, nothing too fancy, just an appreciation gift that he'll treasure. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I guess we've never really given gifts at random. However, I do like your idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's what I would do for my fiance. Good luck with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. I will see what I can come up with. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I agree with the man above. Something that your boyfriend likes, no matter how small it is, is always a nice gesture. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bsaa_nivans 2014-06-25 08:24 am UTC (link)
	Okay, I'll take your advice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's sound advice, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent)
