He is into video games, cars, football, some wrestling and typical guy stuff. We've been going out for about 2 years and he is 18 years old and I don't have that much money but I want him to know that I love him. Any good ideas?

Hi,
Since you said that you don't have a lot of money, what about some subscriptions to magazines like Car and Driver, Import Lowrider, Maxim (my wife reads it too, and it shows you're not threatened; plus it has jokes, cars, wrestling, football and guys' stuff too like grilling recipes), Video Gamer and the like. Ebay has them all the time for next to nothing. He gets the gift every month and thinks about you. Is there a magazine that he buys on the newstand often???
The new WWE game Raw versus Smackdown is 50 bucks, maybe at GameStop you could get it used for less. There are plenty of Madden Football games out there for cheap.
If he has a car, why not an accesory that he's had his eye on? A chain steering wheel, Hurst shifter, Fuzzy 8 balls, new CD player, metal gas pedal shaped like a foot (if he's into Joe Dirt muscle cars like me). Guys do appreciate their rides looking better. Ha, I'm upset right now because I'm missing a stupid hub cap!
Cologne can be a'ite, but it has to be one that he thinks is great and is into. I like Hugo Boss. If it's one you can stand, or like too, get it. However, beware, if you're into it and he's not into scents, forget it. He'll never wear it, nor will it be appreciated. Same goes for clothes and shoes. Food is another idea. Does he have a favorite restaurant or a favorite meal, even a favorite breakfast cereal (you can buy a serious supply for him) or ice cream?
The best gift I ever got was 2 shirt polo shirts. However you should know that my old favorite shirt with an embroidered WB character was fading and they don't sell them anymore. My wife went out and had two custom polos made for me because she wanted me to have my favorite shirt. That's what I was into and she went out and had it made for me and me alone.
Most important is to think about "what does he cherish?". For instance, if it's a baseball card or an artistic poster, then get it custom framed. Stuff like that shows that you listen to his heart. Everyone is different with different likes and needs. Put some thought into it. I know some guys who would get mad at a Mani/Pedicure and some that would love it. It's all about his personal tastes.
I hope I gave you some interesting choices or at least sparked some ideas.
Good Luck,
B

Once, I Decorated the living room oriental style with inexpensive bamboo and candles, I prepaid for a Japanese dinner, and had my boyfriend stop and pick it up on his way over. I had one of those decorative keys cut w/ for the key to my apt, and had the hostess at the restaurant (who was in on my game give it to him, I also printed out a "wanted" poster with his pic ...Wanted thief of my heart" It was posted behind the Cash stand at the rest. when he arrived, there were rose petals strewn along the walkway.he let himself in, and I was dressed up in a pretty dress, gave him a foot massage.. Kind of geshia style, and then we enjoyed our dinner. He loved it. There are all sorts of creative things you can do... some of it may seem corny, but that was the joke. hope this helps.

Most guys go for three gift ideas: Electronics, tools or sports. There is of course a gift of a physical nature.

I think that the best gift he has is you. After that, maybe it's time to get him something like a "marriage license". Just kidding. Get him Cologne.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
