Ok, so we have been dating for about 3 years and I am out of ideas. We are both 24 years old. We moved in together a little over a month ago, and we both have a LOT of stuff, so I don't want to get anything that takes up any more room. In the past I have gotten him practical gifts (e.g. golfer's cooler bag, grilling tool set, that eyeglass cleaner from sharper image). I would like to get him something nicer (/more romantic and less practical) this year...something like a watch. However, the watch he currently wears was given to him as a present by his ex-girlfriend, so I don't think I want to get into that territory. Are cufflinks really lame? He typically doesn't wear jackets to work but he does wear long sleeved collared shirts, so he might wear them. If so, how do I pick out good cufflinks? I am not too hot on the whole cufflink idea or a nice pen, so feedback please and any other ideas you have. My price range is approximately $100-$250

i'm having the same problem this year- except opposite from yours. i rather be getting something practical for my boyfriend, than materialistic. that's more of his wants than mine. if i had it any other way, i would go bonkers on buying him clothes.
for your situation... i remember one year, my boyfriend of the time (who was also 24) just started his career. as a gift, i constructed an outfit for him (ie. new dress shirt, slacks, shoes, socks.) he loved it and was able to mix and match the items with other outfits.
stay clear from that watch (or anything else an ex has given him). you want to be seen as an understanding girlfriend. plus, you wouldn't want to walk in the same territories as her.
i hope this works out!

I would say if you are going to get him cufflinks looks for like personalized one like in line with his profession or ones that can be engraved. I would get him a new watch make him get rid of the one his old girlfriend gave him.
