I'm looking for an extra special Christmas present for my boyfriend - we've been dating almost a year.

I managed to find out he's getting me a claddagh ring which is an Irish friendship/love ring, which is a very thoughtful and meaningful present... and it puts me under pressure to get buy a meaningful gift as well.

I was stumped for ideas in the $100 mark before I figured it out. Now I feel like I need to get him something equally as thoughtful and creative! He's 26 and I can' think of anything because he says he doesn't want a new watch or wallet (two things I was thinking of, both can be engraved/monogramed), he doesn't drive, and already has one of the claddagh rings himself. A nice tie was another idea but it seems too boring and impersonal.

Aaaaaah! Help!

I see what you mean - boys are so hard to buys gift for, this will be my 5th christmas with my BF, so I have used up every present idea in the book!

I'm glad there is a specific forum where we can talk about presents for boyfriends/husbands so we can all help each other out!

Could you get him an activity eg. white water rafting? Or an Mp3 player pre-loaded with all his favourite songs? Make him a photo book/calender - this is a very personal gift but also fund and costs about $20 to get professionally done.

I recently bought my BF a remote control helicopter - my BF is also 26 and this is one of his fave presents!

Anyone have any other good male present ideas besides the usual cuff links, tie, wallet, watch?

what gift did you end up buying your boyfriend?

I bought my boyfriend tickets to a Muse concert for his birthday two weeks ago. It was such a surprise for him as he loves them and knew that the concert was sold out!

I know what you mean, men are probably the hardest people to buy gifts for. Try looking at www.mumasboxes.com.au these guys have loads of gifts for men.

I bought this for my man: http://www.mumasboxes.com.au/?i=181&every-man-jack-shaving-kit-deluxe-gift-hamper&c=13&p=
