Jim did that for me for our 1 year anniversary and I just about died. It was full of pictures, movie stubs of movies that we went to see together, broadway ticket stubs (like of Aida and Beauty and the Beast), a rose from the first dozen roses he ever bought me pressed into the book, a pair of chop sticks I used when we went to this really trendy Japanese restaurant and just anything else that we collected together. It was so awesome!!

He has 2 Movados, the jersey and we both worked on a scrapbook together..lol

I didn't learn much, lol, but the time together was good for us. Of course, I'm 50, she's 47, so our interests are surely different than yours.

As for what to get him, the couples massage sounds cool and unique. Or, better yet, a massage table and a book on massage.

I LOVE this idea!!!!! This could go along with your evening at home after you cook him his favorite dinner.

Well I make him dinner quite a bit as I love to cook and he loves my cooking. Most of the time he takes me out but occasionally I cook for him. I have an apartment and wouldn't know where to put a massage table but it's a good idea for later when I have a big house. He loves dancing which is why I thought he would like the ballroom, he used to be quite the break dancer back in his days and we've been watching Dancing with the Stars, etc. Hmmm...you guys are getting my creative juices flowing

Oh, you didn't SAY he likes dancing and watches Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, then that could be a cool present. It is expensive, though, at least up here. I think they wanted $60 an hour. The parks and rec. class was cool because it was only $15 each for 8 weeks.

Back to the massage idea: You wouldn't have to get the table. Just a book and some massage oils and a cheap mat for the floor.

Maybe you could casually mention taking ballroom dancing classes in a casual conversation and see how he reacts to it. Maybe say your friend is taking classes with her bf or spouse and see what he says about it. Based on his reaction, you can decide whether he would like that or not.

I think the couple's massage is a great idea! Who could go wrong with that??? The ballroom dancing is a little cheasy but the massages?? anyone would want one of those, they're sooo relaxing.

oh well nm i just read that he loves dancing so maybe ballroom is better

Not knowing your b/f or his interests it's hard to say. However, if you guys are going away for the weekend I'd vote for the couples massage. Then I'm with V with the non G rated ideas. Go to Lovers or something like that, pick out a few somethin somethins, then after the massage you guys could order strawberries, champaign or something like that and go from there. I one also included home made coupons.

i.e. one free backrub, his choice of dinner, one homemade batch of his favorite cookies, choice of movie, one night of (almost) anything goes his choice, footrub, you get the idea... romantic things but also day to day things.
