Through it all, my boyfriend has been a total camp. We've been together for a few years so we've shared the good and the bad. They say the novelty wears off and passion turns into comfortable companionship but with him I find myself falling more and more in love with him. My question is this; what on earth can I do to thank him for the love and happiness he brings to my life? Any suggestions of how to show him how much I appreciate his presence in my life? Thank you all

OP with all due respect to Oldbag I think a gift or a weekend away is a bit too much of cheap cop out and does not at all reflect how grateful you feel about all this, plus unlike women we don't get off on gifts in that way, or at least I don't.
You know the sweetest thing my wife ever did was write me a letter on a piece of paper, put it into an envelope and just handed it me to read right there and then. She did that because she knew she'd start getting too emotional and wouldn't be able to say it out in they way she wanted. So she wrote it down for me to read and I was in tears in after the third sentence.
I still have that letter safely tucked away, but also within reach. I've read it so many times in the times I've doubted myself that I know every line off by heart. I've never had anything as meaningful as that in my life and it's the one gift I'll treasure forever. OP there is nothing better for showing someone how much they mean to you than to tell them, and tell them all the ways they are and how much it means to you.
The best gift you could give in my mind is telling him that, and frankly a letter which he can go back to when he needs reminding is even better.

 What a lovely refreshing post ;o)
How about a weekend away, a surprise? Or just write a poem or find appropriate song lyrics, print it out and give it to him,framed, with a ticket for him to his fave band
or buy him a special ring or bracelet, engraved with a message
