Question

What do I do if my BFF says he doesn't want a gift, but he brought me one?

Community Answer

Most boys say they don't want a gift, but the truth is he may be still expecting something from you! It may be best to have something for him just in case. No one is going to be upset about getting a present when they didn't ask for one.

Question

What do I get my guy best friend for his birthday?

Community Answer

Give him something that compliments his personality, something useful but most of all that clearly states that you know him well.

Question

What is a good idea for something to give my first love who I haven't seen in 20 years to remember me by?

Community Answer

You could give him an old photograph of the two of you so that whenever he looks at the picture, he will remember the good times he had with you. If you do not want to spend a lot of money buying him a photo frame, another simple gift is to simply write a poem for him.

Question

My best guy friend does not want to be my friend anymore because of something I did or said, but I didn't really do it. I really miss hanging out with him. What can I do?

Community Answer

Tell him calmly that you did not say or do whatever he thinks you did, and apologize if something you did say or do was misinterpreted. Tell him you miss him and you want to be friends again. Then just give him a little space and let him decide what he wants to do.

Question

What should I get for my crush who I think likes me back?

Neetu Sharma

Community Answer

You can gift him a novel if he is interested in reading novels or you can gift him a diary, a wrist band, wallet, goggles, a shoulder bag. Anything depending on his interests. If nothing works for you then you can simply make a card for him. If he likes you, he will like anything you give him.

Question

What do I do if my friend says he does not want a gift?

Community Answer

If he says he doesn't want a gift, then respect that and just make a nice or goofy card rather than getting or making him something. You could write a poem, a haiku or simply pen a few words of appreciation.

What can I give an ex-boyfriend whom I am still good friends with for his birthday?

Choose something that shows you two are just good friends. Giving him his favorite candy or a DVD is a good idea.

Question

Can I get a gift and have it be special without spending a lot of money on it?

Community Answer

Of course! If your friend has a favorite candy, you can always buy some for him. You can also make something for your friend instead. Depending on the supplies needed to make the item (and what you already own) the gift could end up being very inexpensive. Because you made the gift, it will be very special.

Question

I want to give my friend a meaningful yet practical gift. Would my favorite guitar pick make a nice present?

Community Answer

That's a great gift idea, especially if your friend is also a guitarist. If he isn't, you could punch a hole in the pick and put it on a chain for him to wear around his neck.

Question

What do I get my male crush who doesn't like me back for Christmas? I don't want to make it too weird, considering he already knows I like him.

Community Answer

Try getting him his favorite candy and tie a cute Christmas bow around it. It's a nice gift, but not too sentimental.

Question

What do I do if he doesn't accept the gift?

Community Answer

If he doesn't accept the gift, then he doesn't deserve you and your kindness, and at least you figured that out now instead of wasting more time. Return the gift or give it to someone else.

Question

How do I set up a party for a child?

Community Answer

It's a lot of fun if you let the kid help. Let them pick the theme, and take them to the store to pick out decorations. You can make puns on the food, too-for instance, if its Mickey Mouse themed, you could have Chips and Dale's dip, etc. Enjoy yourself and they will too.

Question

What do I get a boy that always has his nose in a book, and knows I like him?

Community Answer

I'm sure he'll want a book. I advise you to make a card yourself and buy him a book. See what type of books he's into and try not to get the ones he already has. Or you could get him a gift card to a bookstore so he can pick out his own!

That will be absolutely fine, there won't be anything to read into unless the gifts are suggestive.

Question

What should I give a guy to say I Love You as a friend? Should I make something?

Community Answer

You can usually give him a friendship bracelet or you can either get a party bag or a box (shoe box, any small box.) and put his favorite candies, maybe chocolates, you can even put a few pictures of you guys in the box/ bag, and you can also buy a simple nice shirt if you want, and last but not least, to let him know u love him as a friend, you can always go the simple way of also adding a card. And in that card, you can also say "Wsp (his name), I know we've known each other for___and I just want to say, that every day you come by you always make my day better, you are literally like a close brother to me and for that, I want to say that I love you for being my best friend.

Question

I'm in that awkward talking phase with my guy friend. He likes gaming, pool, and beatboxing. What can I buy him for his birthday?

You can get him a new game, and maybe play that game with him. Then your relationship with him won't be so awkward.
