BF's birthday is on Friday, so it's officially my turn to be thoughtful and creative. We hit the six month mark on Thursday, which was pretty cool. :-) Seems that summer is a busy time for us, starting with my birthday, then the 4th of July, then his birthday, and in a couple of weeks, his daughter's b-day. It's a good time!
He's much more practical in terms of gifting, so I won't be searching for a heartwarming piece of jewelry for him. ;-) Instead, I'm going with a selection of smaller things I think he will enjoy. They include:
A card and a couple of little Bluemoon style written things I will be doing. I have to add my personal touch! :-) I am also getting him a t-shirt that supports his favorite NASCAR driver, a small collection of cooking gadgets that he's been wanting, and a wok. The man does love to cook, and a lot of the fun we have on the weekends at his place is trying new recipes or new cooking gadgets. This weekend we made homemade potato chips! YUM. The t-shirt breaks up the kitchen theme a bit at least. I'll also be getting him some Reeses Pieces, as they are his favorite. :-p
We are celebrating the actual birthday by going out for an Italian dinner friday night with his daughter. No other plans have been determined yet, but that's our starting point!
** I also got a new bikini and will either be a) sending him a picture of me modeling new bikini and/or b) wrapping it up in a tiny package to present to him since it's more of a gift to him than it is to me. ;-) HA!
Crossing fingers that my birthday plans are a success! He says birthdays are not a big deal to him, but I feel like may be because no one has made a big deal out of his birthday for awhile. I want to change that, but within reason. :-) Nothing over the top, just lots of little things to let him know he's appreciated!

I think everyone likes to say that birthdays are not a big deal, but they secretly hope someone special makes them a big deal. Sounds like you're doing just that!
ReplyDeleteI think this is probably true! Hopefully I'll do a good job of making him feel special on his birthday since I feel like he focuses more on his daughter than on himself generally.
DeleteWow, what thoughtful gifts! You are definitely a great girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI bet you're right about him going in with low expectations for his b-day because of past ones... (That's what I do/say about Valentine's Day too but secretly hope it will be great!)
Thanks! :-)
DeleteToday's the day, so hopefully tonight will be fun. I have everything all ready, and I hope he enjoys everything!
I like the idea of wrapping up the bikini in a tiny package! But that's because I'm bad at trying to look sexy/sassy/fierce in photos.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful gifts. :) I think everyone loves to be shown some appreciation, and the more mature ones in a non over-the-top way.
I ended up doing the bikini pic right at midnight LOL. He got it this morning and was quite pleased, ha!
DeleteThank you on the gifts, I hope everything goes over well!
I love how inventive you are with gifts! I hope he appreciated it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! We will see tonight. :-)
