Surprising your boyfriend with a creative gift for his birthday or other celebration is a great way to impress him with your knowledge of his likes and dislikes and show him you are willing to put in the time to make his day special. No matter your budget or skill level, you can be a hero when the unwrapping happens.

    Photo Gifts

  1. Take a picture. A photograph gift is a perfect reminder of how special your relationship is with your man. A lot of creative opportunities are possible when it comes to a photo gift, including photo stamps with a picture of the two of you for the philatelist to a sexy poster of you for his home office. A skilled scrapbooker can put together a collection of images from your time together while a digital picture frame complete with a memory card full of images will be a handsome reminder of your love each day as it sits on his desk at work.
  2. T-Shirt

  3. Make a personalized T-shirt using your desktop publishing software and your home printer. Purchase some iron-on transfer paper for your printer and create a custom T-shirt design using your own photographs or text that relates to inside jokes or pet names. You can also customize underwear or a pillowcase by simply following the transfer paper instructions.
  4. Homemade Coupons

  5. Make up some coupons. Whether you hand write them on colorful origami paper or print them up on your home computer, personalized "love" coupons are always an appreciated gift. Include gift certificates for back massages, his favorite dinner or your pledge wash his beloved car.
  6. MP3 tunes

  7. Create a playlist of his (and your) shared favorite songs for his iPod or MP3 player and surprise him with the upload on his special day. Log onto your favorite online music library and download a playlist of love songs, or his favorite bands and name the playlist something like "Your Birthday Soundtrack." Place a bow on his player and show him your upload to put a smile on his face.
  8. Sew or Knit

  9. Even if you're a craft novice you can knit or sew up a scarf and personalize it with his initials or by using his favorite team colors. If you are sewing challenged, simply get some fleece material and use seam tape to create an easy neck scarf for winter. He'll think of you every time he wears it.
