Gift for boyfriend--opinions?

Yeah, I'm already thinking about what to get my first boyfriend of 3 months for Christmas.

I do have an idea. He has two sets of bed sheets; one is ripped, the other is... just very plain. I was thinking of getting him some really nice bed sheets, like Egyptian cotton or something silky. I am still a virgin, however I spend the night at his place often.

Now for your opinion. Does this seem like a good gift? Does it seem too suggestive, slutty, or violating his personal space?

Do you all have any other suggestions? :)

it doesn't seem slutty; maybe a little suggestive, but mostly boring. i don't think a guy would love getting a christmas gift from his girlfriend that could've easily come from his grandma. if you want him to have new sheets, just buy 'em and give them to him, or better yet just put them on the bed. he prolly won't notice. then get him an awesome christmas gift, something you know he'd love. and if the bf is the kind of person cool with ripped sheets, don't waste your money on egyptian cotton; you'll just be grief-stricken when they get destroyed, too.

You wrapped in a large red bow and nothing else. It would be the best Christmas gift he ever had.

wow that is a horrible idea, honestly. No man gives a **** about his bedsheets and they certainly don't want girly cotton crap or whatever you're talking about. Get him a video game or something lol

...real nice Fortius.

What about a DVD or something on that idea? Think about his interests and play off of that.

Yeah, I would probably go in a different direction too. We don't really know much about him so it would be difficult to suggest something personal. How about a dvd, video game, a nice winter jacket, tickets to a game.....

The current state of his bedding should tell you exactly how much he cares about bedclothes.

As a guy, I can tell you almost anything would be more interesting than bedding, egyptian or otherwise.

Video games, power tools, toys, sporting goods...maybe clothes...maybe he has some hobby he needs gear for...

But most importantly, don't give a sheet.

I wouldn't do the bed sheets either...

What about something that you both can do together...like tickets to a theme park or a dinner theater??

If you want to give a bedsheet, give it as a side gift. But personally, I think the idea of going and doing something together as a couple rather than just a bedsheet (while the thought behind it is good!) would be much sweeter and memorable.

Hmm well there's not much support for the sheet idea!! Ooops...that's what I gave my bf last year. As part of a whole bedroom theme...I also got him a mattress protector and a monogrammed bathrobe. They were all things he needed (he also had old worn sheets that were borrowed on top of it) and he had recently spent hard-earned money on a fancy new bed, so I wanted him to have it outfitted properly to enjoy to the fullest. Its worked out very nicely, he loved having the new sheets and was grateful for the protector. And we do spend a lot of time in bed.

So I think it really depends on the person....we are plenty romantic together so I don't need to push that, and we are both very practical people so appreciate what others might consider "unromantic" gifts. My favourite gift from him last year was a cast iron frypan. We both love using it. I am getting him one for his place this xmas lol...

As for too suggestive....I don't think so. It's just a good practical present. If you're into that sort of thing.

Wow, I'm surprised at how the sheets idea got shot down. It really depends on your relationship, I suppose. Does your boyfriend appreciate practical luxury things like that? My boyfriend and I are both Taureans and he would love nice sheets like that, anything aesthetic.

Forego the blingin' Rolex if your man is more practical than that. By the way -- have you asked him? It's not an off-limits question. Although my boyfriend is in the "I dunno..." category right now, so I understand if he's the same way.

But since it's your first holiday season together, you might want to just ask him. :)

You know what, I'd get him a remote controlled something! Playful and entertaining for you both. I'm getting my husband a remote controlled Apache Helicopter. He'll love it, and I can play with it too!!

Not very romantic or practical, but he wants one so bad. He won't be expecting it at all!

Boring!  If he's into sports, maybe get some tickets to see his favorite team.  If he likes excitement, maybe a tandem skydive (I'm partial to that, of course.).  But you haven't been dating him very long.  I'd go for the old stand-by of a DVD, CD, video game or something along those lines.

Give your partner something that would benefit you... such as sheets. You stay over his place all the time, and you would appreciate nice sheets, so buy them for him, but really they are for you.

My tie a ribbon around you and nothing else idea is far superior to everything here. haha..

You could get him another girlfriend...one not obsessed with bedding or linen.

Let me see...what could he want...he's been having a girl sleep over for 3 months and hasn't got any play...she's a virgin...hmmm.  This is a tough one.

How freaking rude. She could be 15 or 16 for all you know.  Or abstaining for religious reasons.  Not all girls need to be sluts. Geez.

singing girl, I agree with you that the comment was rude. Actually, it is not our business what they do in their apt.

Muttlover, I was thinking about an ipod. the new one costs $150. can you afford it?

As a guy... I don't think sheets are the best idea, regardless of your uh.. status together.

Get him something he WANTS, something he'd ENJOY, not something he needs. That's for his grandma and his mom to do.

What are his interests? Pick from something from there.. or look for an Amazon Wish List or.. something like that. :)

Look for a really cool concert or a show if he's into that, or a game or... whatever. :)

Something he'll look back and remember fondly as his first Christmas present from the awesomest GF ever.

 Wow what a horrible thing to say.  You don't know what their relationship is like and to suggest that is terrible.  I'm offended and I bet others are too.

PS i'm with safina, the IPOD idea is a good one.  I usually go with books, dvds, cd's.....depends on what kind of guy he is but most of them like media of some kind

I told my bf about this thread and how I said "oops" for getting him sheets last year. He said he LOVES the sheets and was really happy to get them as he needed them but was unlikely to spend the money on himself. He said anyone who criticizes that choice is wrong, wrong, wrong, and the suggestion that they were more for me than him is stupid and also wrong. And he thinks that I am the awesomest gf in the world and plans to marry me so there.  SO yeah I'd like to put in another vote for sheets!

But we are practical, considerate people; he would not want me to get him, say, tickets to a sports event, because he would want to enjoy the gift with me and since I don't like hockey, well that wouldn't work. Even though I'd go with him in a heartbeat if that's what he wanted.

I did get him an ipod for his b-day last year, and he loved it though I could not afford the one with higher storage so now he's always having to shuffle songs off and on it...wish I'd held out for the new ones that have plenty of storage and are LESS than what I paid last year :S...so anyway I also think ipod is a good idea, though kind pricey. I would not have bought it after knowing him only 3 months.
