I love him so much. He really does love me and cares for me. Something no one has ever done. I was in a horrible relationship before I met him, and all my friends told me that my ex probably ruined any chance any guy would have of getting close to me. And then he came along and changed my whole perspective. I felt that I could love again. I just want to get him something to show it. I do on a daily basis by being there for him and helping in anyway I can. I just don't have an idea as to what. I was thinking of getting it today, because he works and it would be a nice surprise. Any ideas?

We didn't do anything for our 6month or our first month. And I don't want to wait another 3 for our one year. I mean through out our relationship we have gotten eachother gifts. Nothing too dramatic; a shirt, cd, poster, wrist band. It doesn't matter to me if he got me anything or not.

If you feel compelled to get him a gift, by all means, do it.
Gestures like that keep relationships alive. Just remember, the precedence you set now will have to continue if the relationship continues.
Just don't make it an occasion gift for a meaningless event. Not that being together 9 months isn't meaningless, but it's not exactly a marked occasion, like say one year anniversary or birthday.

First, let me just say congrats! I love being in love and hearing about others in love.
Anyways, I don't know what you should get him because I don't know him personally, but I would go to the movie theater and buy a gift certificate then go to his favorite restaurant and buy a gift certificate so it is like getting him dinner and a movie.
Another cool thing to do, and I know this is cheesy, would be to make him so of those romantic coupon things (i think you can buy those at gift stores pre-made too).
Or you could just go to the mall and walk around til you find something that is perfect for him (that is what I do so that we both get something).

Well, you want to save a really special gift for your 1 year anniversary. For now, get him something small that he will like. Does he like video games, movies, watches, chains? You know him and I am sure whatever you get him he will like. Since the 1 year anniversary is coming up in a few months think of what you will get him then and be sure not to get it now. He will probably appreciate his favorite dish after a long day too if you want to add that.

Dang! U celebrate every month, what a pansy. LOL
No, just mention it to him and let him know how happy U are to be with him. Tell him something poetic that he's not herad U say before, that's all. No gifts, no for the 1st year U can plan something fun or give with somehing inexpensive but sweet. For my 1st year, I made him a book about why i love him.......... it was full of our memories and sentences of places we've been. It was a flashcard notebook that contained 50 pages and I wrote in eveyone of them. Teh second year, I planned to go to universal studios and we went halfers on teh experience. GOOD LUCK!

Not ridiculous.I went through the same thing. Get this. I' m 40 and he's 43 and very much in love. We went to a movie and out to eat for our one month. Since he was paying for movie and dinner I got him silk boxers which he had mentioned before. It's just great being in love again and growing up is for adults. Nothing wrong with showing how much you appreciate him.

I would suggest writing a letter in a card...or a poem about your feelings for him, how he's changed your life when you were in a place you never thought it was possible to love again*
I think that would mean more to him than anything you buy him* Perhaps make an intimate dinner for the two of you also* Let him know how much you appreciate him*

Well, I don't think you should get him anything because the love that you guys have for each other should be enough. But if you really want to surprise him...maybe you can cook dinner for him and you guys can spend a lil romantic night together=]=]

A way to a mans heart is threw his stomach! If you know how to cook make him something sweet like a cake or cookies. you shouldnt go out and buy anything yet save that for your 1 year mark!!! Just something small and simple just to say you love him!

I would say no, I tried the buying eachother gifts every anniversery, and it's just rough on the bank. Try to keep it to just the yearly gift. Let him know what the day is, and tell him how much you care. Give him some lovin.

Don't buy him anything. Write him a poem or letter expressing what he means to you. That is the most meaningful thing you could give him.
If you are a traditional woman, wait to give it to him until you see whether he gives YOU something for the anniversary. If he doesn't, hang on to the letter/poem and give it to him when he does give you a gift.
Good luck!
