Need some ideas on gifting

[Brown Eyed Mystic]

My fiance's birthday is soon approaching (in like 10 days). I have been a lil confused about what should I gift him. Thing is I just bought him some gadget/watch/clothing while he was in my country a month back, but now am in a fix as to what more I could give him. I wanted something personalised (like a scrap book maybe?) But I am unsure if I courier it, will it reach in a good condition. I don't want it to be damaged or anything as such, since its gona be delicate with all pictures and stick ons.

Am confused as to should I wait for him to come down to my country (after 2 months) and get him what he wants/make him the scrap book, or should I figure out a way to get more innovative and creative with his gift and send it across on the very day And if later, what should that be?

Inputs guys? Thanks

Think about who he is and what he likes to do for fun or what interests him. I love giving people books, You can never go wrong with a good book.
Think what could make him happy or laugh. I m sure you know him enough to figure it out.
Good luck!

I always appreciate the gifts that are given to me by the people that know me the best
in other words if you give me a gold watch then you don't know me very well
but if you give me a silver one then
I know
that you know
ME !!!



ps I understand what you mean about not wanting to send the scrapbook through the mail due to damage but there are ways to package it to prevent the damage

Give him something small now, to show that you have remembered and care that it is his birthday (people tend to get funny when they think you forget or don´t care )

Give him the personalized gift 2 months later.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone

thebestlife, I know, you have it spot on. He is not much into books. He is more into cars and bikes Well I can't get him that for now atleast, but sure will think over more! And he has this very sensitive side, hence I had thought of a scrapbook.

lifetimelearner, lol. That's specific eh. True though, like I would love someone to gift me a obook or a gadget Hey, btw lifetimelearner, now we kinda know each other, right?

ssandra, absolutely! Infact I was thinking on the same lines, rather almost decided. I'll save it for the time when he arrives

[lifetimelearner]

yeah we kinda know each other

BTW what kind of gadgets do you like ??

You could always get him a hypnosis session! That's a great gift. (As long as you don't do it with the intention of *fixing* him. )

@lifetimelearner - Cell phones, SLRs, and also E book readers

@Angela - LOL!! Sure.

Why don't you get him a gift certificate, like a massage for the two of you somewhere? You can do that together when he comes to your country again, that's personalised

Wow. Or maybe I can put in my name on the certificate, and give the massage to him when he produces it in front of me Like any other service parlour

If you want to
I didn't mean for your to take him to some ''seedy'' place, but something more like a medical massage.
I don't know if it's important that it is some ''material'' gift for him to remember you by or it can be something the two of you can do together.
