Do you recognize it that when you have to buy something for the other gender, you look on the internet, ask someone else, look in every shop and that you simply don't know what to give? I have that quite some times with my boyfriend.

I know there are quite some males on this site, so does anyone know something a boy would want? He really loves airplanes so i was thinking about letting him fly for 15 minutes, but it's 60 euros and that's a bit expensive for me since i'm only 15:P

An other question i would like to ask: What was your worst experience with a present given to you or that you gave to someone else?

It's a good idea, but my friend doens't have any consoles except for his computer. He doesn't have a wii or a ps3, nothing! Only a ds, but he always downloads the games for both of them (ds and computer). So i don't think that that's an option for me =(

Giving him parfume for male seems so dreadful since i gave that to him for christmas.

Yea he is a bit of a hard one to give presents to. Although he is crazy about plushies.. But already given him that twice, so that's also dreadful haha xd unfortunately he never wants to give me some hints that would help me:P

You could get him a steam account. it works on the computer and he can download games usually for very cheap

I'll think about it, thanks!

Also just saw on the internet something where you could glide in a sailplane on you own for 29 euros. So i'll figure out what i'll pick =)

But what's your worst experience with presents to or from you?

As Eirwen said, a Steam account is a very good idea because then you can use that as back up presents for any other holiday. The games are the best quality which is brilliant as you pay a quarter of the price of a game you buy in a store. Aside from the suggestions before me, what is he into?

P.S I have a list of things NOT to give him, if you're interested?

I would suggest getting him........... I dunno maybe one of those really well made remote controled airplanes that don't lose charge after 5 mins of play time.

lol sorry but i dont think its the other gender. its just boys in general XD. im a boy and i can easily say its easier to buy something for a girl. 1. i can always ask for help from my mother. 2. makeup, clothes, cups with pics are always fine but its really hard to find something for a boy.

hmmmmm well im not your average guy but ill try

if hes in to sport get some equipment or madin or some other sports thing

if hes kinda a geek you can get some computer software

if hes more normal you can get giftcards money you can go get something funny like it ridiculosly useless like a auto-matic soap carver or hand-made those are always great

Am I the only user on ArmorGames that hates STEAM? Good luck getting any Steam-related PC games to work...

Music is also a good selection. Find out what type of music he likes and introduce him to a new band with a dvd!
