Hey,
I need some help/suggestions. I need a gift idea for a man that seems to have everything. Nothing major....just something to let him know that I appreciate him and all that he does for me and my daughter. We haven't been together as a couple very long but in the past couple of months he has treated me and my 3 year old daughter like princesses and with respect and kindness. After years of being involved in horrible, loveless relationships, I just want to do something for this guy to show him how thankful I am that I finally found someone that makes loves, respects and makes me HAPPY!! Any ideas?

This, of course, depends on his personality and interests, etc. So, I would ask his siblings, parents, friends, etc. for suggestions. Me? I would say get him a Leatherman tool or Swiss Army knife. Can't go wrong with these.

Don't go overboard, you'll scare him away. I've seen that happen before. A lot of women think that the more love, money, and attention they shower on a guy the more he's going to love her back but a lot of times the opposite happens. If you must give him a gift, heed my advice, keep it simple and don't go overboard. Especially in a situation as delicate as being an unwed mother and it being a new relationship.

Speaking for myself, I'm happy when the nagging is kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, I'm NOT always happy!

The more info you can give on the guy, the more helpful a generic gift can be. By default, unless he's sober, no man would look bad on a gift of alcohol, bottle of wine, scotch, his personal favorite, or a case of beer... As a rule though, I wouldn't spend more than $40, anything else and for a short period of time, and a "just because gift" it might seem a little to excessive.

Cheers,
just being you is gift enough

How about making him a nice dinner and have your daughter help, too - food is always good . . .

Or treat him to dinner at his favorite restaurant.

I like the dinner idea.

Just the two of you.

Alright. First off where did she say she is an "unwed mother"?

mr c, I hate to say this, but I agree with you.

Is it this guy's birthday?

kelgal, I wouldn't give him anything. A simple "thank you" would suffice. I won't even get into it, but men you can't be nice to them. Buy your little girl a gift instead.

Keep in mind that it's he who is rewarded with the pleasure of your company.

That Polar Cub, I tell ya. See? Men. Show no mercy to these people called men. Actually beating them with a stick gets their attention. I AM JOKING.
