It's our six month aniversary at the weekend, and I'm thinking about buying my boyfriend a small gift. Does anyone have any ideas? Or should I just take him out for a really nice dinner or something? I know it's probably not a 'big deal' but because I'm a student, I never usually have any money to treat him to stuff and he always pays. Now I've just been paid from a modelling assignment and want to say thanks for him being wonderful!

I dont know what type of guy your bf is so i cant say..but dont go too way out...dinner is a good idea and nothing will say that he is absolutely wonderful better than YOU yourself...in another 6 months ask this queston again when you are together 1yr..

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it! Especially your modeling pics!!!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

I gave my boyfriend something for our 6 month anniversary.
It might be different in your case, but I have known my boyfriend for 5 years, so I made a scrap book of all the photos and mementos I've kept since we've known each other.
Being a student, making somehting might be the best option for you, plus it really shows someone how you feel.
Even just a plain photo frame, decorated in gems and glitter with a photo of you inside, or cut out pictures from a magazine to make a collage of things you both like to decorate the frame with.

Don't do anything. Has he brought up that it's a 6 month anniversary or is this something you have thought about yourself?
He's already with you so don't go out of your way to impress him. Men HATE all these "6 month, 1 month, 8 month" anniversary things - all that does is give them a stark reminder that things are getting serious.
Ask yourself why you want to do this. Is it because you think he'll like it or is it because you'd like him to reciprocate your actions or to give you a sign of things getting more serious?
If you honestly think he'll be pleased and it was his idea, go for it. If in any way at all there is a small possibility you're doing this for your own reasons or agenda, I advise you DON'T GO THERE! This is one of the fastest ways to lose a man's interest along with repeatedly telling him your ring size and naming your 'children'.
You are rewarding him enough with your company - he's not with you to get gifts or meals out and if he is then you ought to dump him first.
Before you think of over-compensating in any way in the future I seriously recommend you read this book. It'll put paid to any future female quirks that men are terrified of.

You can read inside the first few pages on Amazon for free too. As you can see from all the reviews - it's HIGHLY recommended.

If your a student he probably doesn't expect alot from you so whatever you do will be really special to him. Why don't you find a nice recipe and cook him a candle-lit meal. It'll be nice to spend ssome quality time together alone and plus you can sit and talk and have a bottle of wine. Maybe hire a DVD for afterwards and share a tub of ice cream. The evening wouldn't cost alot but would mean a hell of alot! Have fun, and Happy Anniversary! x

well if he always pays you should pay this time to show that you do care and you should take him out to dinner and if you have money left over you could give him a little gift

Generally, when it comes to gifts - guys dun give a peanut.
His biggest gift is you..so yes have a pleasant evening with him.
Get him something he can put on daily as a memorial.

take him to a nice dinner, doesnt have to be expensive. let him know how much you appreciate him and love him. its been six months, and six months is a big deal to some.
