I know it's last minute, but while my boyfriend was wrapping presents this morning, I asked if he's thought of anything he'd like for Christmas. He started laughing, took a bow, stuck it on me, and said "just you" and winked. I'm all for that! But I still want to get him something though. He hasn't really hinted to anything, and I'm Jewish, sooooo I've never shopped for anyone for Christmas before. Any suggestions for something I could get? He's a swimmer and speed skater, and loves science, if that helps anyone

Hello there, Volleygirl.

As I said before, I am a big fan of presents that are hand made.

What about following his hint and you give him a little bit of you. Maybe a scrapbook or a nice frame with a a picture of you both that you like a lot. In this time where we all have our pics in our smartphones is weird that we print any of them. And I think some pics are seriously worth printing.

Ooh, he likes science; does he consider himself nerdy? There are lots of cool items with science-related punny pick-up lines or in-jokes on them. You could even pick a line from one of those as inspiration for making something (decorated mug/bag/"poster"/etc.) yourself! (Example: my boyfriend is in med school and working on the "Brain Attack Team". One of my gifts to him is a fake B-Movie poster I made for a "movie" called When Brains Attack)
