writes:Me and my boyfriend, I'm 15 and he's 16, have been going out only for a month, but it will be our 2 month in a few days. And our 3 month is going to be a few days after Christmas. We're already talking about what gifts to get each other. He's just going to take me out shopping and get me something then. But I want to get something for him in advanced. He likes leather bracelets, and I've been trying to find one that's plain so that I can get it engraved some how. But I want to get him some more things. I liked this one girls idea she had,"I bought a silver chain and put an old key on it. I wrote a note on red paper about how it was the key to my heart and all about how much I loved him and trusted him, and rolled it up into a scroll. I got a small mirror and stuck gold star stickers to it, and wrote another letter saying that when he looks into the mirror he'll see my most favourite person in the world. I rolled this up into a scroll too, along with a few coupons for kisses etc. I got a heart-shaped whole punch and made absolutely tones of red and pink heart confetti. I also got a small teddy bear. I put it all inside a cellophane bag, and tied it with a red bow."Anyway, I'm not sure if I should do this. But I've been freaking out about what to get him, because I really want him to like it. If you have any ideas about what to get him, please pleeease help me.

reader, anonymous, writes (25 November 2010): You can definitely find the leather bracelet in an online shop (eBay perhaps?).
Otherwise...
You should simply ask him where he goes to get his leather bracelets! That will lead him on the scent, but you will be able to surprise him with the engraving. This will match his special shopping trip in sentimentality (personal keepsake for him, olde- fashioned spoiling for you! Just make sure the engraving is very simple and classic, none too flashy or fanciful... he would honestly most appreciate just his name!).
But do read over the paragraph you quoted and try to comprehend why a young guy might find this muchtoomuch.
Though it Is extreeeemely thoughtful, if you can understand why it would be off- putting, you will learn a Very Important Lesson.

 the other persons idea seems a bit much when you've only been going out for 3 MONTHS [after christmas] not YEARS.
just getting him the bracelet will be fine :)
But I like the scroll idea too, so you could put a little message with it that he could keep telling him something about how excited you are about the relationship youve both started, something like that :)
Hope this helps =]

When I did that my boyfriend and I were 17, and we'd been together over a year. You're only 15th and it'll only be 3 months by Christmas. I'm not saying you can't be in love then, you sure can. :) But you may want to tone it down a little. I suggest you get him the bracelet. But you could also do the key to your heart on a chain, put it in a little box or something with some confetti and a note. Simple and sweet. :) Other ideas could be a photo of you in a frame. I bought one for our first christmas and he almost cried when he opened it. The photo frame said love on it. There are hundreds of things you could do.

I think that you can get him just about anything. As long as he knows its right from your heart he'll love it. And thats what counts, to make it right from the heart because thats what makes it extra special. That one girls idea is really sweet so try it if you want. Just make sure to put some love into it =]
Good luck and a happy anniversary to you both!!

 Well doll,I'm sure whatever you get him he'll love it because it came from you.You should make him a homemade card for starters.Decorate it as cute as possible! Make him cute little coupons as well for kissing and stuff like that.Then you should make a romantic dinner.Make his favorite food and then decorate the table with roses and other cute things.Then get him something that reminds him of you.Whatever you decide hun,he'll love it if he really loves you:) I hope I've helped.If you need anything just let me know.
Love and kisses,

 That idea is cute but kinds girly im thinking if ou want to get something engraved try
Dog tags like what they had in the military Get his name engraved and write a note on it if you want. Put two on a chain and it can look pretty bad ass. They can engrave anything on those so whatever you feel like saying can be said. Good luck!
