Any ideas for a good " i'm thinking of you and here for you" present?

Thats not too sentimental or soppy and quite subtle and blokish?

Boyfriend has had a traumatic week and i want to give him a token of love.

Not more than 30 quid of my love though.

ah

wonder if there's something similar to the refinery (london) there? not very blokish i'll grant you, but they do treatments for men. e.g. 1/2 hr de-stress indian head massage for £38

IME men tend to be less than properly appreciative of this kind of token - I always find spoiling him for the evening (ie i pay for takeaway and a DVD of his choice) goes down better than an actual gift.





(and never underestimate the revitalising power of sex - nothing says 'I love you' more than doing something he really likes but rarely gets because you find uncomfortable and/or tedious)

how about a little book of vouchers (home-made) along the lines of ''this voucher entitles the bearer to...
''whatever he wants for dinner
a foot massage
a bj!
2 hours' control of the tv zapper
etc etc

I have already been through the ruderies to cheer him up, had a take away, watched a film, all good on that front. Told him he has a big willy he has a wonderful body, he's a real man, he can have the remote as we dont live together. I cannot actually keep my hands off him when i see him, so to be honest it wouldn't make it any different.

He has lost one of his best mates and the night he found out we kissed for hours.


I just want to get him a gift, he has spent the week breaking the news to everyone, he has organised a big night out for everyone to meet in honour and i just want to give him a little present on the night. Quietly, while he is socialising and being strong, just so he knows i am there.

do you have a pic of his friend you can put in a frame? might not be the best time to give it to him though

I don't think he'd like that, sorry but he would laugh and find it a bit weird, just the way he is.

Aw FF you are lovely.

However are you trying to tell me that a book of shoite poetry never crossed your mind. ?

When i present him with the tickets i shall recite a poem of love and death, the beauty and the pain.

I don't think.
