In reply to Creative and thoughtful gift ideas for guys?, posted by Wildflower on June 4, 2004, at 10:06:42
wildflower, it depends on the guy :)
and your angle is not strictly platonic here, eh?
i would suggest any of the following, so you may work your angle:
1. gift certificate to nice restaurant
2. tickets to an event that he'd like to attend (concert, play)
3. movie passesall these scream "take me with you!!!" :)
anything homemade is always welcome. if you knit or sew or paint or play music or ??? you could give him something handmade
or you could go to a sandwich shop/fancy urban grocery and buy supplies for a picnic
if he is a drinker wine is generally welcome
i think partly cloudy is on the right track with kitchen supplies - i would go further to suggest fancy oils/vinegars (a little truffle oil or something is always welcome, it would have to be something he wouldn't ordinarily buy for himself)
good luck! (almost typed good lick there :D)
