What do guys like for their birthday?

[CrashQueen]

Alright guys, i need some helpful suggestions as to what to give a guy for his birthday. I always find it difficult shopping for a dude and the only thing i can really think of is food and clothing. First off, he is not my boyfriend but he is close to me.


Also, please do not say sex. Let's get that out of the way now since i'm sure most of you will say something along the lines of women and sex. :keke:

also i'm not a big fan of gift cards, they are so impersonal.


here are the basics:

the guy is:


-a graff artist/graphic designer therefore his spare time it revolves around creating new things.
-currently into working out
-isn't big on going out partying
-more of a laidback quiet person
-recently quit smoking and drinking
-is not a car enthusiast
-enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods
-enjoys all kinds of music mainly hip hop
-enjoys movies, foreign/indie flicks in particular
-is open minded


that's all i got so far i guess...




Your suggestions are greatly appreciated and will help me come up with something creative. :bigok:

[drftx]

since he's a graf artist get him some street wear cloths check out the fassion thread for some ideas

[cc4usmc]

Do you know if he has any plans for his bday?

[SlideWell]

food is the way to a mans heart, snatch up some gift cards to a decent restaurant or something.

[ESmorz]

Nice dress shirt and/or blazer.

A good cologne, not the cheap shit.

A nice pair of dressy but semi-casual shoes.

Take him to a nice dinner with shared friends.

Depends on the budget.

I would be stoked if a woman thought to get me any one of those things. But, in the end it's free shit and you can't complain. Unless you get him a suitcase full of dildos.

That's a whole 'nother story.

[spoolandslide]

I would love to get a suitcase full of dildos for my birthday.

But That's a whole 'nother story.

alright dude, thats just weird

you should get him... tickets to some kind of show, music, comedy art

go to a gallery during a show or a museum and then dinner

its a win win

[!Zar!]

Money and sex. edit: Just noticed no sex.

/thread.

[mRclARK1]

Take him out for some food that you know he'll like. Buy him something in your price range along the lines of graphic design/creative stuff etc...

Don't need to be fancy.

[cc4usmc]

Well i will just throw out my idea anyhow.. just make him a bunch of different shit for him to grub on and kick back and watch a movie with him. better then any bday i have had lol...

[!Zar!]

How much is your budget?

Buy something from my shop and I'll hook you up.

[keistyle]

stickers/food/arcade

[SimpleSexy180]

If you were to cook a meal for him that would be awesome. Every man likes that idea.

Watching a cool foreign film with a meal you cooked for him would be cool also.

You can take him to a hiphop show. Which are always dope if he really like the artist performing.

This comming from a guy who is laid back himself..

[CrashQueen]

^^^ seems like food should be incorporated into his gift somehow. lol

the thing is, the dude has a lot of street wear clothing already, and even makes his own, i don't want to give him more clothes. ha

but i'm sure he likes them. so that's a possibility too. Zar I might just take you up on that offer perhaps so i'll check out what you have. What's good?

anywhoot, i'll be back i have to run to class now. Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

[oscarsx]

My girl was asking the same question about me, what to get me blah blah blah.. tried getting me some kouki tail lights, didnt let her.. cant break our budget here haha so i took a giftcard=]

really if you dont know what he would like, just hook him up with a giftcard it works all the time =]

[rainier]

something electronic. maybe a good pair of headphones to listen with his Ipod or whatever Mp3 player he has. maybe even an mp3 player?

or tickets to RocktheBells on Aug 9th in SB.

or buy him a nice wallet, watch, or something random.

[Dirty Habit]

Check out 12oz prophets website. Alot of great links to some awesome artists.
If he would like prints and shit, you can find em through there.

If not. Get him an Iwata Airbrush, and a compressor if your really dropping bank. My ex got them for me one year for christmas and I loved that shit. If he paints seriously, he'll enjoy it.
She also got me a can of Montana grape that was super hard to find. It took me 2 years before I decided to finally use it. hahah.

[ZilviaKid]

guys like everything really.. as long as it isnt something tacky or cheap, he'll like it. even more so if it has something to do with an inside joke or whatnot.

good luck!

[Future240]

Umm since poon is off the list I say, If he is a tech guy, go to best buy and watch what he picks up. Chances are he will show you what he likes. If he is into cars get him a part he wants/needs.

[HillaBean13]

parts for his car its the best way to go i learned that right quick hahah

[LB.Motoring]

parts for his car its the best way to go i learned that right quick hahah



why hello.............:keke:














ok kidding.



If you know him well, sounds like you could get some nice clothes for him..

[memo92]

Buy him some old-school type addidas.:)

[BOROSUN]

hmmm... i think this dude needs a fleshlight!

they also have ones thats shaped of actual pornstar punani.

[MikeisNissan]

Buy him some Jimmy Up stickers, or condoms.

[S13SilviaGirl]

even though they are impersonal, gift cards are always a win! now, add a really nice dinner that you made him with the gift card....then take him to spend that gift card....always fun!

[steve_o1989]

Hows about some hookers and some blow???

jk

I would imagine that he would already have an Ipod or something... Really good headphones like suggested above is a good idea. Maybe a nice watch or some shades, a 12 pack of Kraft Dinner?? It doesn't have to be material though. Take him to a show that he would enjoy and go out for a unique meal somewhere.

[drifter101]

Beats by dre? (http://http://www.bestbuy.com/olspage.jsp?id=1214611180610&skuId=8913606&type=product)

looks like theyre backordered from bestbuy. havnt read any reviews, but sure does have that rap influence.

[flip3d]

Fine no sex but how about oral sex? :P


Get him a legit copy of Photoshop CS3

[tattoo131313]

At my age I would just like to just not have a birthday this year.

[lflkajfj12123]

buy him montana spray paint any graff artist will appreciate it

or even caps krink or markers

take him out to eat when you give him gift obviously

thai restaurants are always good

maybe a hiphop album? something he doesn't have

samurai champloo box set!!

[CrashQueen]

I was sitting in class and thinking about what to do for him and i think i have a good idea...

friday- (actual birthday) Since both of us work full time we'd see each other in the evening. I'm taking him to this really really good sushi spot that i'm positive he's never been to that i'm sure he'll like. (don't know what present to give him yet along with the dinner but it will be a small thoughtful/inside joke along with a real gift)

saturday-pick him up and load 2 bikes in my car and ride along the coast with him somwhere in laguna/newport. I'm also gonna pack food i've made so that afterwards we can sit on the beach and eat. I was thinking of just preparing a really good salad, chicken, and pasta with a dessert. watch the sunset, enjoy the scenery. (he lives in la so he rarely goes to chill out at the beach he mentioned earlier this week he wants to spend a day at the beach sometime soon, so i'll take him.)


perhaps afterwards, head back to la, and veg out to a movie.




he likes little things, he's laid back, so i'm sure he'd enjoy something that's both active and relaxing.


what do you guys think? pretty good?


anything i should add?............besides sex? :keke: hahaha.

[BustedS13]

vagina, LOL

[downshift_sideways]

A nice date. Something special (something different)

and having the girl suprise him with some new sexy lingerie after the long night.

ps*

Sex pwns this thread ;)

[heiyuu]

Nothing says I love you like a blowjay in the morning. NOTHING!

And ugh... take him out for sushi.

[CrashQueen]

^^^^^^ haha damn all of you!



yes sex and vagina would own the thread, and i'd say the same thing on a thread like this :keke: lol

but shit, i'm trying to find creative ways to spend a bday without the sexual parts. plus we're not together, even though there's potential for it to lead to a relationship later.

i like the guy but we're not committed, but i still want to do something nice and simple for him.

that sounds perfect really. just do that. i'm sure he'll greatly appreciate it.

[aziankingz]

is it because its already part of the plans?

[DRavenS13]

Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when i saw this thread was sex.

Sorry, but it's true. Guys like sex, will take it any way, shape or form, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Christmas gift- sex under the tree.

Valentine's day- sex on a heart-shaped bed.

Birthday- sex his way.

[downshift_sideways]

^^^^^^ haha damn all of you!

Oh not together?

So like friend terms?

In that case..

If he is an easy to please guy, then just stack up the small things that he will enjoy.

Perhaps see a movie? see what genre he is into, and snag some tickets.
I like comedy movie's personally, and if a lady took me out to watch one during my birthday would set a great footstep for a kick ass day.

Take him somewhere he's never been before?
Maybe a zoo? Take him out to eat a new restaurant? Check out some cool sights?

Guys like him that are easy to please...are EASY TO PLEASE.
I'm sure you know him and his style and swag, just put the puzzle together mah.

;)

-Anthony

(Honestly. Your presence during his birthday is already enough to please him ;))

Birthday- sex his way.

Lisa. this is why I love you girl.
You keep it real. right on.

[CrashQueen]

^^^ haha no. because i know everyone in here will say sex.

[mrs.drift33]

freshly made cupcakes with extra frosting

[CrashQueen]

haha i know, this is completely true. i agree with you :bigok:


it was the first thought that came to my mind while writing this thread, hence why i stated "aside from sex" when i posted it. haha

[Vision Garage]

whip cream lingerie? Haha. It seems like you two are pretty close. Best thing I could think of is sex since you singled out every other option!

[Somnambulist]

I don't like celebrating my birthday. I never have. I always do my best to keep it a secret and not let anyone find out about it, but somehow it always does...

[Vision Garage]

Dude if you knew you had sex waiting for you, you would not try to miss it!

[lflkajfj12123]

there's a line of sex waiting at my doorstep at all hours

birthdays are over rated


























ps in for nudez

[sxe]

hmmm... i HAVE a fleshlight!

ITS shaped of actual pornstar punani.

LOL.. someones been doin research...:confused:

[MikeisNissan]

A good lap dance is the best way to start off somethin serious!

[WERDdabuilder]

that sounds great, but it also sounds like a date. ;)

but if there's relationship potential, why don't you go for it? :naughty:

besides, guys just love to get laid at all kinds of occasions, but that has been stated already ;)

[ESmorz]

Well to be honest if I was gonna spend my birthday or birthday night with a girl.

I better be getting some sex.

Maybe I'm just a bad person idunno.

So either go out with other people. Or just give him an aforementioned gift.

[HyperTek]

One of my female friends bought her guy friend a ipod touch.. Pretty expensive but they are like best friends. If its someone you respect/ like to be around/ admire, then its all gravy.As far as gifts, cologne and stuff is cool, stuff like that.. Every dude should be fresh lol. I dont think that would send off the wrong message either. Or even a decent pair of shoes, dont gotta be expensive, but at least brand name or his taste/style.. If a girl bought me some shoes that i like, id be happy.

[flclsteve]

turn this thread into a poll and put sex as an option 99% of the votes :D
go get him some diffrent size caps for his spray cans and maby some paint or deco markers

[Tenchuu]

-is open minded


mansex?



no but really if your not hooked up, but getting him a gift you should have a friend in and know what he likes. but to be honest, special events mean more to women than they do to straight men. I have forgotten my own birthday in the past. but like everyone else says, he probibly has a favorite bomb but a little $$$ place he likes to go every once and a while (ie good thai/sushi house, steak joint, mcdonalds, etc...) so that is always a safe bet. but be prepared to make conversation, and if he isn't stupid and and you aren't hitting on him (never had a girl that was friends and nothing more that tried to surprise me with something like this, probably cause they all know they would FAIL) then you may just want to ask him.

[Firestorm]

i would be disappointed if i would spend the night with a girl and wouldn't get any. so you better not get his hopes up if he has no chance of a happy ending @crashqueen

[Tenchuu]

also something to look into is if any other girls ARE giving him sex for his birthday, you may be SOL if some other chica swoops in with a better offer.

[origin_s135]

take him to a underground rap event, he should be cool with that.

[SR240DET]

also something to look into is if any other girls ARE giving him sex for his birthday, you may be SOL if some other chica swoops in with a better offer.


my fiance is weird sometimes, and though i would go out and do what Tenchuu said on my bday, because; it was that time of the month for her and stuff......, soooo she took me to a gentlemen's club, for alcohol and lap dances.

honestly, i had more fun with her that night than i ever had with any of my homies at a titty bar.

[michaelvic240]

blackbook
paint pens
herb
shoes

[qwikspool]

buying him a concert ticket. both of you guys are good friend. that should be enough and thoughtfull

[stiizy]

Girl do something calm cool relaxed

The bikes on the beach sounds chill, catch a flick afterwards

Get him a few small things you know he'd appreciate

Ya friday night seems pretty well planned out..

Gift card fa sho, guys like'em believe it or not..

ah sex??? na j/p just spend time together i'm sure he'll be happy

[DALAZ_68]

^^^^^^ haha damn all of you!

i like the guy but we're not committed, but i still want to do something nice and simple for him.im not implyin anything sex related...i veg out with my homegirl like once a week...just watching a movie or what evers on...

and like Downshift_Sideways said: your presence during his day is probably all he wants anyways and itll mean a lot to em...god knows my Bday would have epicaly sad if my homegirl wasnt there to have drinks and laugh with...

DRavenS13 : i needa find a girl like you

[qwikspool]

dont forget the humor birthday cards. lol

[Vision Garage]

Why dont you two take a trip to catalina and go kayaking or something?

[Okinawandrifter87]

Seriously, like Anthony was saying, im pretty sure that this guy will just be more than happy to spend the day with you. Like for my b day I don’t require anything big at all, I make sure to tell my gf not to buy me anything big, cause honestly im more than pleased to just spend the whole day with her and have her company cause shes really fun to be with (call me a softie go ahead lol, but I love her). And for gift wise she got me all the stuff that I really like or that have meaning behind them. For example last b day she got me a b day bag with a pack of rockstars, twizzlers, my fav candies, a car freshner, boxers with family guy on them lol, etc. Stuff like that meant a lot. It didn’t have to be big but it was special. So im pretty sure no matter what you do or give him hell like it no matter what cause you guys are close.

P.s I also get sex on my b day haha but then again its like my b day everyday when it comes to sex haha couldn’t help it.

[Gnnr]

A live event:

Music or Comedy Club and then some dinner.

[DALAZ_68]

[Okinawandrifter87]

Hahaha thats funny but no im not lol.

[pablo180]

if it were me....i'd be totally stoked over any of these.

a digi cam ~ 200$
a skydiving experience ~ 150$
dinner and a movie (Stepbrothers was funny as hell) ~100$
cologne ~ 50$


AND SEX.

[ayuaddict]

what do people do if they aren't into cars?

i guess expensive clothes would work.

[ESmorz]

He's probably gay if he's not into cars.

So maybe sex isn't the best course of action.

Unless you like hearing "baby where's the wiener?"

[azndoc]

CASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done and done.

We're guys.

We're simple.

Just straight cash is fine with me.

[lflkajfj12123]

stick it in his pooper!!!!!!

[TiNMAN]

that sounds perfect really. just do that. i'm sure he'll greatly appreciate it.

i second that. your plan sounds dope!

i know i'd appreciate it

[jdmdrft]

it was that time of the month for her and stuff

get that red badge of courage man!:rofl:

[SDS13COUPE]

This is what my girl bought me when I was really heavy into graf.

1. Montana's (What kind of graf is he into to. Legal walls=hard to find colors, illegal walls=flat blacks, aluminum silver.)
2. Caps (Legal walls=NY thins, german thins for more detail, illegal walls=NY fats, Rusto fats for "Bombing" )
3. Prisma's and a new blackbook (For his new work, also Prisma's are the shit for the blackbooks. You can blend colors well since their are so many different shades of most colors.)

If I think of anyting else i'll post. Hope this helps with your anti-sex movement.(Has to throw that in for good measure)

[CrashQueen]

haha thanks for the heads up. the thing is, i don't think he needs more of that stuff though he's got a shit load. and i know Montana's are the best but probably not gonna buy him more supplies...

This is his stuff:

Wow Queen he has some really good art. Is he selling any of it? I love some of his abstract art. and yes figure out something creative. Go get on some jet skis like in HITCH!

[CrashQueen]

^^^thanks i'll tell him you like his stuff. Yeah i'm sure he's selling some of it, he has some of his pieces up in galleries and small shops and he is in the process of getting his shirt designs together.


:)

[ESmorz]

His street designs are pretty legit.

I take back the wiener comment.

ha

[BOROSUN]

dang, thats pretty nice stuff.

[illvialuver]

I would say anything that would help them or anything that is useful.
Sometimes I think just spending time with the right people can be better than a gift. but those are nice too.

and gift cards are lame. it says I could really careless and I don't really know you. so here. go watch a movie or eat something.

[SDS13COUPE]

I met him in SD. I didn't paint at that event since I didn't have "Artsy" colors. His shit is fresh. Props to him. Isn't he from a crew?

[CrashQueen]

yep yep i know for a fact is TM crew.
