This sounds superficial but my boyfriend wants to name a star after me for christmas but even though it is a sentimental gift I would expect something else how would I give this hint of something I wanted such as perfume,jewlery etc. Please do not respond if you think I am ungrateful and unromantic beause I am far from it.

I think you are all so materialistic. I can't believe you would expect something else. Actually, I think that is a very thoughtful and romantic thing for a boyfriend to give his girlfriend. Most boys would never even think of this! Plus maybe he is low on funds and can't afford expensive jewelry and perfume. You should really try to see behind the material things and get familiar with the true meaning of Christmas. It's about what you give and not what you get. Good luck and Best Wishes!

I don't know how to do this romantically, but I believe in being honest, yet appreciative.
Tell your boyfriend that you appreciate the sentimental and romantic idea of naming a star after you; however, you'd prefer something practical and concrete, such as jewelry or perfume. It can still be romantic and thoughtful, but you'd prefer a present that you can hold and use. If you can say this honestly, also tell him it doesn't have to be expensive to be thoughtful and romantic and useful.
You might let him decide what kind of perfume or jewelry to give you (unless he asks you want in particular you want).
If you want, you and he might go under the night sky and look at the stars, and you can tell him, "Pick out a star and name it after me now!" Then he can do it without it costing anything (though it won't be official, of course!).

He doesnt sound like a boyfriend to me Any actual bf in a actual relationship might get their lady a Christmas recent. I even have in no way did not purchase a gf/spouse/substantial different a Christmas or birthday recent in my existence. and that i've got been airborne dirt and dirt undesirable till now (some years in the past). I propose it incredibly is fairly thoughtless, selfish. A friggin $5-$10 might have even offered some thing with slightly concept alongside with a card! sell off this loser!

You can say in a "joking" way..... "So after we get to see my star, when do I get to open my real gift?" I don't think you're being superficial or unromantic, as sweet as that is, it's just nice to open a gift on X-mas day. Start giving him hints as to other stuff that you want. Or have somebody tell him and offer to go shopping with him. Let's say for example your best friend tell him him "hey I know the perfect thing to get (you), do you want me to go with you? I know exactly where to find it!" Then he may make mention of the star thing and because your best friend is your best friend she will say "you're not just getting her THAT are you??" Seeee? it doesn't sound so bad coming out of her, right?
........talk about a hypothetical situation... sorry that's all I can think of.
Merry Christmas!

A star? I would want another gift too! Get a sample of the perfume you like out of a magazine and have him smell it and keep telling him how much you like it. Men are hard headed, but if you throw it in his face enough, he just might take the hint.

Go Christmas shopping and bring him along and be like "This looks very nice, I hope I get that for Christmas."
