annonymous
He is a mexican male, looks white, and looks like he might be 28-29 years old!!! He is really into his mexican culture/heritage. Can someone suggest some gift ideas? Thank you :)
Oh, i actually bake myself so i was planning on making his favorite chocolate cake. I kind of wanted to buy him something, but its so hard to shop for boys!
Answer
since you bake yourself, take him while you prepare chocolate.. only if he's interested..
if not, prepare it and give him.. make sure it's full of nuts..
know his needs.. give him what he needs, not what he wants.. this way, he remembers you for a long time..
person around 41 have less desire of blowing candles and cutting cakes..
take him to a place he likes, like go and dance...
a gift of memory lasts longer than a gift of subject.. so, give him experiences not things..

What good birthday gifts would you recommend for my boyfriend?
Sweet One
I want to come up with a special birthday gift and am not coming up readily with ideas. I wanted some help as I brainstorm. He's 36 and originally from Europe but we live in NY. He is a software engineer and has a phd in Physics so loves science stuff and technology. It would be great if the gift could be personalized but that's not a deal breaker. He has a personal trainer which he goes to once a week and he also has been taking drumming lessons, so has a small bongo drum (starter one). He enjoys world music.
Of course we love each other very much as well and have been together for about 1.5 years. We are talking seriously about marriage and so I think that is in the near future.
Any ideas for a good gift?

hi,
well, you're in NY, perhaps you could find a beloved band or musician playing in the not-too-distant future to get tickets to?
or, there's a billion clubs, like the blue note, for dinner and a show, or find a dinner then come for the show.
he must love the american museum of natural history (if not, there's dozens of other museums that may be of interest to him), perhaps get him annual membership or tickets to a special exhibition? or, some showing at the planetarium?
a trip home? (dunno how much you're looking to spend)
spend a weekend (or however long is manageable) and take a road trip, there's seriously about anything you could look for within 50-300 miles of nyc. go to mit - dunno, they might have an interesting lecture... washington dc, the smithsonian has amazing exhibits. or just crazy like casinos - atlantic city, the poconos, upstate ny, all points anywhere. you could go spelunking, the baseball hall of fame, niagara falls (no barrel runs, lol), run off to chi-town, philly, lake placid, heck, montreal is a 6-7 hour drive from nyc, anyway, you get the point about travel.
maybe an experience together could be more gratifying and memorable than a specific item?
skydiving? lol. see the races at watkin's glen, or just tour, wherever the mood strikes him. if you're interested in the travel thing you could join aaa and get regional guides for free (with cost of membership, of course) which tell you about what any little town has to offer. maybe you have a friend that is a aaa member who could order guides for you?
maybe see what festivals are coming up within 300-400 miles. maybe something he likes? lol, ya never know if there will be a software engineering/physics/technology fest... maybe the jacob javitz has something coming up?
sorry, i can't think of any specific item to give him... i once gave my brother (a geotechnical engineer) a "stop plate tectonics" t-shirt... but, he's only my bro, not the love of my life.
well, happy hunting for an amazing surprise!!
lol, you could always incorporate the first response into a road trip
