This is my first time having a boyfriend. (I'm 24 years old, my bf 28). Next week is his birthday. I bought him a $65 watch. The price is attached on the watch's box. Should I scratch the price or leave it there. Question for guys: Your girlfriend buys you a birthday present, should she removes the price of that present or not? And why? Also, Please give me some suggestion on how to prepare a romantic birthday. Thanks you!

You should always remove the price from the gift when you buy someone something. You can include a gift receipt if you think he might not like it. If I am the guy, I wouldn't care about the price of the present. As far as suggestions on romantic bday, I've got some ideas:
1. Prepare a candlelight dinner for him.
2. Take him to a ballroon/boat/train ride.
3. Find a place to picnic.
4. Offer him a massage.
5. Watch sunset together.

It's tacky to leave the price on the box. If you include a reciept, make sure it's a gift reciept so he can exchange your gift if he wants to. If you're worried that he won't know how much you spent, then believe me...if he wants to find out he can do a little research. How much you spent is not the point. The point is that you were thoughtful and tried to select something you hoped would be useful and meaningful to your boyfriend. Put your heart into whatever you prepare for his birthday, and I'm sure he'll be appreciative!

Hi Ann, Take the price tag off the watch but keep it along with the receipt just in case he has problems with the watch later on. If you know what his favorite food is cook that for your romantic B.D. If you both like wine chill a bottle and have it with your dinner. Put 2 candles in the center of the table and light them for more romantic. Save the cake or pie for later. After you have finished your dinner take his hand and walk him to your bedroom and give his real B.D. present to him. I am sure you both will enjoy each other especially on his B.D.
This is very Charming Enjoy!!!
A Friend,

NO DONT LEAVE THE PRICE.love and friendship are priceless.whatever be the gift, whether worth one million, or 1000 or 100 or 65Dollars, a gift is a gift and its the good intention of showing how much you care that counts.Besides as a true lover i would never expect gifts but i would expect that person to be by side in the most difficult moments and happiest moments in my life.
For a romantic night, go for a candle light dinner with a nice dress. Preferably without too much cosmetics.. Good luck

No don't include it. I think you should get him a card for his birthday. A watch is a little too much too fast. But it's up to you. A card is sufficient enough for him, since you just met. give it some time and if you're still together next year on the anniversary, I would give it to him then.

Yea, my boyfriend gave me a birthday present, got a gift recipt and attatched it to the gift. So there I can't help you, unlesss you just put the watch in another box? And keep the box see if he likes it and if so, scratch the price off before giving it to him.

Usually, when I give gifts, I take off the price and give the receipt, just in case they already have it or.. cough* don't like it and want to exchange it.. But I'm not sure if that applies with boyfriends too.. but it should be the same thing...

i think you should remove it....its the proper thing to do...when you give a gift you shouldnt make the receiver feel like he owes you something...or that next time when its your bday, it would seem you are obliging him to give you something of equal value or more...
as for the birthday plans....start the day by calling him and greeting him happy bday...so that you'll be his first greeter of the day...take him out to lunch, take him to the beach or to a fun park...have dinner, a stroll in the park and end the day with the most romantic kiss you can give him...

Most department stores have something called a Gift Receipt... If not then I would just suggest that you keep the receipt, just in case something happens to the watch.
