    time after time
    i dont know what to get a guy

    whether he be my bf, my friend, or just some acquaintance

    what do you get a guy
    but something more special than just a gift certificate or chocolate

    girft certificate is the best. I hate when people give me stuff I don't really use.

    LOL, my friend's birthday is today.. and I am still thinking of what to get him :p

    I have gotten him a music CD before, a t-shirt, and a personal body toiletries from Body Shop. And there was one year I just treated him to birthday dinner.
    Running out of ideas this year.

    IMO, it's easier to get sth for a boyfriend, rather than a guy friend. >.<

    Another CD by an obscure artist whom he would enjoy? I always do that.

    Or DVD of some films by a director he likes (you get the idea)...

    ^Oh, but he's not the artistic type... He's the kind of guy that would go, "It's not bad.. /it's OK.../ nice..." if you asked him to comment on a movie or a song :p

    Plus, i don't wanna get him the same thing again, hehe.

    you could always get some random gift, like something that is considered an inside joke between you two. get them something that only they would understand the meaning behind it

    Wallet is a lil too personal. I would never use it if some girl gave me a wallet.

    ^He's my close friend... and i think he kinda likes me.. LOL.
    But giving him a wallet is like asking him to carry a piece of me everyday... -blush

    ^yea, too much pressure for him. Bake him a cake or something. Guys like to eat and play.

    ooo, i got it. If he like video games, buy him a Nintendo Wii. It's fun!

    You don't have to double post.. there's the edit button you know :p

    Bake a cake? No thanks, not my forte.

    Buy him a Nintendo WII? Lol, i am not that loaded. Plus, i don't wanna spend too much just on a friend you know what i mean? :p I bought my ex a PS2 before but that was coz he's the boyfriend status. *shrug*

    well i have a friend's birthday to celebrate in two days
    and we're not really close but we hang out all the time in a huge group

    i dont like giving gift certificates
    and i becuase i dont know much about him i'm stuck
    i know he likes star wars and coffee, so my friend is getting him coffee
    and i rather not get him star wars stuff . . .

    well my guy's brother, we've been friends for 5 years
    he's also one of my best friends

    but year after year i dont know what to get him
    everything he wants he gets himself, other than that you dont know much of what to get him either

    ^Like Babyrain said, you don't have to double post, use the edit button. :)

    @Babyrain: PS2? You spent that much on him? I wish I was your BF.

    why is that too personal?

    Cologne, iPod, Sunglasses, etc.
    All depends on how good ya know that guy.

    Cologne might be a good idea, except I think he hardly wears any. iPod.. nah too expensive for a friend. Sunglasses... a good pair would cost too much as well.
    Any other ideas? :p

    all awesome ideas
    but not in this case

    cologne, he only has one he ever uses, AND i wouldn't buy it for someone, just cause it's one of those things you have to match up to the person very personally, since the same cologne or perfume smells different on every person

    ipod, well let's say i'm trying to not spend more than twenty$ on this guy, cause yea we aren't close at all

    sunglasses, i'm a total sunglasses snob, so to me, this is just like the cologne, you can't tell if a specific set of shades look good on a person unless they have tried it on
