I think it's the gesture more than anything. A bottle of whiskey or tequila, a plan for a dinner out, or even a card with a nice handwritten note. Cards are underrated.


samwri25

Seriously a card with a heart felt message is great. My birthday is today and my GF gave me a card last night with some presents she got me and honestly what she wrote me was better than any gift. Damn near made me tear up


the_one-and_only-nan

Happy birthday!


samwri25

Thanks!


bigrdf48

Happy Birthday (belated) šŸŽˆšŸŽ‰šŸŽˆšŸŽ‰šŸŽˆšŸŽ‰


xnaveedhassan

As a man, I strongly second. Cards are underrated. No one gets us cards. You get me a card, thatā€™s a permanent memory.


ashishgrg04

Yesss! I remember all the hard written cards given to me in my life. And they were the most special.


Jamie9712

Yep. I made my bf soup and got him a card when he was sick. He loved it. Small gestures are worth a lot.


thebondsman8

A bottle of whiskey is solid. Or maybe bake his favorite dessert and serve it to him in nothing but an apron and heels. Warning!! Women who do things like this often get proposed to.


Luthiefer

And sex.


DragonSurferEGO

This with a bj


pimppapy

just sit on his face. . .


Gazmeister_Wongatron

No words or explanations needed.


cruisereg

100% this, especially since heā€™s loaded. I do alright and I buy whatever I really want for myself, so gifts are next to impossible to buy for me. Once I hit OPs BFs age, I really really appreciated kind words of acknowledgement and encouragement. I think every man appreciates this type of validation!


gingerpcgamer

This. Maybe even just a card that says "let me take you out to dinner".


Brutact

Or let me be your dinner.


Fickle_Thing6364

This is the right answer lmao


rohm418

Dessert is what we call it at my house.


jerry_527

Or a BJ, that would be nice


shreddingsplinters

Make the card yourself and you will get so kissed!


ExistingPhysics4602

I think it kind of depends on his love language think back to how heā€™s responded to each type and go from there


Smitty_Werbnjagr

We donā€™t give a shit what it is, we just want to feel appreciated and recognized for our hard work.


antwan_benjamin

> Cards are underrated. I don't personally care about cards. But I started writing them for others about 2 years ago. The amount of love I get from this has been astonishing. I got my GF's Mom a small gift for her birthday plus a card. She started crying while reading it at her birthday dinner. It was pretty normal stuff, too. Just like "thanks for being a nice person and welcoming me to the family" type.


Snowskol

a card is even better if the note in it is on a post-it note so you can re-gift the card for free.


Ebaneezer_McCoy

It is absolutely the gesture more than anything. And yes, cards with a personal note are underrated. I still have cards my wife got me that have things she's written to me. Doesn't have to be big, just something to know you care and you want to congratulate him on his special day. Make him feel wanted.

gringo-go-loco

Sounding would be more erotic.


Random-Mutant

Stainless or silicone?


PearlDrummer

Yes


shreddingsplinters

This made me LOL! šŸ˜‚


chiefzon

Hahahaha. This is the best suggestion. šŸ˜‚


TyphoonCane

It's free. Give him a personal message to let his muscles and brain relax for an hour.


PapaNoPickle

Massage? Or do you mean a nice letter and a BJ?


Bizarro_Zod

A fancy letter sealed in wax inviting him to a massage and BJ might be welcome.


PHX480

This would be my suggestion. When I completed my last semester of undergrad my girlfriend at the time got me a full body massage. It was one of the nicest things someone has done for me.


Alternative_Elk_2651

Steak and BJ


HotdawgSizzle

An enthusiastic BJ is better than any physical gift as a guy IMO


lousy_writer

Especially if you're well off, like OP's bf. When I was younger, a huge part of the appeal of birthdays, Christmas etc. was that I got presents (whether it was actual gifts or money) from my family, grandparents etc. I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. Now that I can it would be a lot less meaningful, so I prefer a nice gesture instead.


black_shuck1775

Youā€™d prefer a BJ from your grandmother is what I got from that.


lousy_writer

I should have seen that coming >.<


Admirable-Doughnut

I don't think your grandma saw you cuming.


ValuesHappening

I too choose this man's grandmother


starkel91

At least there wouldnā€™t be as much teeth.


maiden_burma

also dont give people bjs if you dont enjoy giving them nobody wants an unwilling bj


Particular_Title42

>nobody wants an unwilling bj Is that so? šŸ¤”


blacked_out_blur

Yes. For the love of god, a blowjob where you act like my penis is the most revolting thing to ever come near your face is not enjoyable. Atp Iā€™d rather jerk off so I donā€™t have to feel bad.


C2D2

Stop kink shaming dude.


Kern_system

So, you've met my first wife?


StroopWafelsLord

ThereĀ“s a reason sheĀ“s your first wife and not first and only.


Kern_system

I went from one extreme to the other with my current gf.


thewolfesp

Yes. Being willing, and being into it are 2 completely different things.


luckynedpepper-1

Absolutely- itā€™s worth less than not having a BJ


v426

I fully admit that a certain level of horniness can override one's intelligence in a way to make one oblivious to any discomfort. But a willing one is obviously always better in every way.


ValuesHappening

Yes. Also, not all men even like BJs. I personally get basically nothing out of them beyond stimulation from the associated act of "dominance" involved and the anticipation of what's to come. If you're giving a half-assed BJ, you're both physically killing my mood and mentally killing my mood. If I lose my boner as a result, I'm going to then feel like you're judging me like I've got ED. Even thinking of that risk is going to stress me out and make me want to rush away from the crap BJ before I go limp in your mouth, which will only make matters worse. You're setting it all up for disaster. Now granted, if some guy is hypersensitive and can jizz from 30 seconds in a BJ, then feel free to give him unwilling BJs he seems like he likes them. But not all men - not even MOST men - are like that. There are ~4 things about a BJ that appeal to men, and generally (I think) they would be in this order: 1. If you genuinely enjoy it and it really gets you going, then the feeling of "being irresistible" can be a huge turn-on 2. The feeling of dominance involved 3. The actual physical stimulation 4. The anticipation of what's to come If you're visibly unwilling or uninterested or just going through the motions, no matter how skilled you are, you've already fucked up #1 and #2. Now if you can leverage that unwillingness into a "well I don't want to do it.. unless you force me" and make me physically "force" you then sure, you can still achieve #1 while being unwilling. But not uninterested. Number 3 is just a huge wildcard for men, which will range from "all he needs" to "does absolutely nothing for him" and you're taking a huge gamble to rely on it. Finally, number 4 only works if it feels like there's a buildup. You gotta tell a narrative with your body that starts with me being irresistible and ends with sex. If your face says "well it's your birthday so..." then I'm not anticipating the work I have to do. Keep in mind that sex is a lot of work for men. Outside of pussy-starved guys, a lot of men unironically think that sometimes they'd just rather jerk off than go through the actual hassle of moving their entire bodies to get the same stimulation with someone else. It's _absolutely worth it_ if sex is a whole experience with that person. But if you're just a substitute for my hand and share about the same excitement, then save me the hassle and let me just jerk off and file for divorce.

Buy him a small gift like Rolex Submariner


Dords805

This!! Itā€™s the perfect time to pick one of these up. Rolex accidentally made too many last year and ADs are letting them go for less than list price just to make room for new stock.


potatotacosandwich

I just looked up and it shows $8-16k. Is that discounted price lol?


ProdigyLightshow

It is a Rolex. Hilarious to me that someone even suggested a Rolex when the person said theyā€™re a student and kinda hard on cash. ā€œOh you donā€™t have a lot of money? Buy him a watch from one of the most expensive watchmakers in the world.ā€ Like wtf lol Unless it was sarcastic and just went right over my head, which is very possible lol.


alexcmpt

Thatā€™s the point of the joke my friend

Physical_Pie_2092

So you've made 3 posts which your bf is 32,33 and now 35 in the last 3 months.. which is it and why you lying


fatfuckery

She's so exhausting to be around that he's aged three years in three months.


CPOx

maybe my guy invented a time machine and that's how he won an award!!


ElephantInAPool

read more carefully. This one says "35-ish". She rounded up. 13 days ago it was "m32". So far, she's still OK. Just rounded up 32 to 35. "new bf" btw, so depending on scale, then different than the previous bf. 1 month ago it was M33. I think this is different BF. This one she was having problems with. 2 months ago it was M33. She just ended the relationship. I'm guessing on again off again. Looks like the guy is an alcoholic. So two different people, similar in age, some rounding in math, and one guy was an alcoholic and the new one is not so bad (hopefuly). Also, during that time she had a birthday.


ValuesHappening

> 1 month ago it was M33. I think this is different BF. This one she was having problems with. But OP says: > My new bf of 3ish months is How did she have a different BF 1 month ago if this is a BF of 3 months?


ElephantInAPool

Ah, good catch. Maybe same boyfriend, but had the age wrong at first?


soonnow

I mean it may be fake but I'm still enjoying reading the replies.


PattonPending

It's normal for people to tweak information in relationship posts so they don't dox themselves


Physical_Pie_2092

I got a bridge to sell you


ObiOneToo

Lots of answers are ā€œsexā€, but it needs to be celebratory. I suggest getting him a card that says how proud you are of him. Then be extra forward about showing him how proud you are. Do things that youā€™re comfortable with of course, but try to go to the edge of your comfort zone. Make it all about him. Then have dinner. Then do it again for mutual pleasure.


Beware_the_Voodoo

The card with a blowjob anytime coupon inside


painfulcuddles

Buy him a nice bottle of alcohol he likes, take him to a restaurant he likes, bedroom activities


astraldick

Sweeping the hard to reach spot under the bed and changing the sheets. I like the way you think!


normalboyz1

you dont need to give him anything.Ā  for my birthday last year my wife asked me what i want. i said "hot sex".Ā Ā  Ā it's way more memorable than any material things she ever gave me.Ā  i can buy stuff but hot sex with her, it's only her that can provide it.Ā 


gringo-go-loco

This is what I want for all occasions. I tell her if she wants to spend money then buy something sexy to wear. If she wants to make it even more memorable she can do her make up a new way. Most of the time I just get shirts but theyā€™re always super thoughtful shirts for bands or things I like.


Rambos_Magnum_Dong

Money is tight? Not sure what to get? I gotchu fam! This is all free, requires you not spending a dime and I promise he will LOVE IT. Go home, get cleaned up really good. When he gets home, or goes to your place answer the door naked. Then pull him into the room, undress him, have him lay back and sit on his face. Make sure you do this for 30 - 60 minutes. >No, there must be something else. I promise you, this is going to be something he will never forget and will always be grateful for.


the_purple_goat

He'll be bouncing around with a big smile for weeks.


DavidMakesMaps

Truly nothing will thrill any man more than coming home from work and immediately being asked to do 30-60 more minutes of work. I like giving head but this is a huge wtf from me?


ShockinglyAccurate

Honestly same, I've never understood "surprise him at the door naked." Maybe some guys are in the mood all day everyday but I'm not one of them. I'm usually damn tired when I get home from work. Let's smash some food, decompress, maybe smoke a bit, then you can sit on my face as long as you want.


DavidMakesMaps

I mean... Surprise me at the door naked personally if you want, but let's not kid ourselves, going down on someone is work. Enjoyable work, yes - but on a special occasion I want the work being done to ME lol... I don't need an excuse to go down on my SO, she'll allow that any time I want!


BeHard

Disagree. No matter the day Iā€™ve had, coming home to a naked and enthusiastic partner would turn around the shittiest, tiring day.


ihahp

uh, this won't work for some men - I like eating pussy but if someone said "hey, I got a GIFT for you - you go down on me!" I wouldn't see it as a gift.


DoobOnTheDip

If weā€™re being completely honest, the answer to this genre of questions will almost always be a blowjob.Ā  ā€œWhat can I do to show my boyfriend I appreciate him?ā€ Blowjob ā€œDo men like flowers too? Should I get my boyfriend some?ā€ Just give him a blowjob ā€œWhat can I do to help if my boyfriendā€™s had a bad day?ā€ Blowjob ā€œWhat do I give a man who has everything?ā€ Blowjob ā€œI give him blowjobs all the timeā€, you say? Awesome. Give him another one.


Flutter_X

Blow job


drteq

If he's like me he is doing it for you - only 3 months in, hard to know how serious your relationship is - so a small gift is kind of awkward in return. It shouldn't be a grand gesture, more of a celebration of accomplishment together.. a nice bottle of scotch and hanging out, maybe a little respect or flattery 'damn you're a badass'. Also if he's a top sales guy, he's probably a go getter - it's cool he won, but this is just a stepping stone to his future. You go out to dinner or you just celebrate a small victory. Not a big symbolic thing.. Maybe he's not like me and likes awards, but that's hard for me to imagine. I also don't like sex rewards for celebration - that should just be part of the relationship already. Unless he's into that thing, it could be more of a turn off. Sex for accomplishment makes the relationship feel more transactional to me, and that's not a winning strategy for long term. But who knows if that's what you're going for?


VokN

A 2 week all inclusive vaycay in Turks and Caicos should be decent enough, maybe 15-20k for just the two of you in somewhere like sandals He might prefer to splurge on some nice takeaway and a night in though, different strokes and all that


PhillyTaco

Go to a thrift store and get a cheap trophy. "What a weird coincidence cause I also got you an award!" And on it you can write "Best Blowjob Receiver". Then afterward tell him all jokes aside you really are proud of him.


soonnow

This is cute and sexy. A happy middle ground between the suggestions here, of either pegging him with a high powered electric drill or a moist handshake.


Nephilim6853

For me, I'd appreciate something more intimate but suggesting it would be NSFW and I don't know what your intimacy level is in your relationship. Men love an impromptu b*****b.


foxtrot_echo22

Nice dinner would be great! I remember my girlfriend in college (now wife) took me out to a small mexican place near campus and just got me tacos and margaritas to celebrate an award I got, which she had no budget at all and treated me. We still have pictures from that night, it meant a ton to me.

nola_mike

Treat him to a nice dinner and maybe a bottle of his favorite alcohol. It's still a new relationship, so there should be no expectations at this point.


canoxen

Cook him his favorite meal! I love getting home cooked foods.


Later2theparty

Just make him a card. If he doesn't appreciate it then he wasn't worth the time it took to make it.


Puzzled89

I wouldnā€™t expect any gift from a gf/wife for a work accomplishment. Top salesmen probably means he got a nice bonusā€¦Iā€™d be saying to you ā€œletā€™s go out for dinner and celebrate, i got thisā€.


I_am_Reddit_Tom

Steak dinner. Toblerone. Blowjob.


climaxingwalrus

He already got an award what else does he need?


Snowskol

Hes...never gotten you a gift in 3 months? kinda sad


Sir_Auron

It is beyond foreign to me to get someone I'm in a relationship with a gift for their *work performance*. This actually sounds like an unhinged idea tbh.


Vedicstudent108

Wait, an award for getting an award??? Where does it end??? Congratulations should be sufficient.


killerwhaleberlin

He already got an award


Runnypaint

How about a really nice pen? Alternatively, a pen set with one for everyday and another for big live moments. I've got three really nice pens (all things are relative) and have enjoyed them for 15-40 years.

Surprise him with a blowjob at the door. Surprise him at his office wearing nothing under an overcoat. I am kidding on neither.

Buy him a golden shovel and tell heā€™s great at shoveling shit and youā€™re proud of him.

I want a drone! Iā€™ve always wanted a drone. Not an expensive one just one I can use to take photos of nature.


yabadabadoo88

Gesture might be more appropriate. Take him out to a lunch/dinner, or cook something for him. Maybe bake a cake if he likes sweets. Buying a gift is easy, but showing an effort is more valuable and special.


ProfNugget

I think taking him out to a nice dinner would be perfect. It's more of a date, so not so much of a "gift" but still a really nice gesture! I'd be super happy with that if it were me.

I think voicing the words are way more important than gifts. Hearing someone say I'm proud of you hits harder than anything IMO. But if you want to give him a gift. Making a nice dinner is something easy.


felcher_650

Cool him dinner on a Friday. So nice coming home to home cooked meal after work


SPIE1

Itā€™s the gesture, doesnā€™t really matter what it is.


sleepnutz

A case of 40oz beers an let the boys come over


StringSurfer1

$2-300 budget if its his style get him a tie or special pen if heā€™s the type then go out for dinner and maybe invite people who are important to him like friends and family that would be a surprise especially if its a big award. You donā€™t have to buy dinner unless itā€™s the two of you.


ChumleyEX

Just dress up for him.

Flowers. We get them when we are born and when we die.

Brass balls. He will understand and you will be ā€œinā€


etniesen

Hm any gesture is nice. Maybe a bottle of something he likes or take him to dinner. Doesnā€™t have to be expensive I just like to be thought of


etniesen

Also, thank you for thinking of something nice to do for your boyfriend. Iā€™m not trying to get on my soapbox here nor am I trying to fish for empathy for men or even get into that subject. But as a guy, especially in the dating or newly dating time. In a relationship, youā€™re constantly thinking of ways to show the girl that she special and think of a nice and where to take her out and how much to spend and get her a card and get her flowers and on and on and on. itā€™s really nice to hear a girl say that sheā€™s thinking about something nice she can do for a guy


TheBooneyBunes

Get him something you think heā€™ll like The fact you got him something would (should) make him happy by itself, itā€™s not about (or shouldnā€™t be about) the gift, itā€™s cost, or nature It could be as simple as cooking his favorite food for him unannounced


No-Win243

Nothing.. he did his job well and his job has rewarded him for that.. Ā he should celebrate his success by taking you out for dinner.


pr4ise_th3_sun

Ooh get him a nice waterman fountain pen


LoudPiece6914

Making him dinner is better than taking him out.


ChurchofCaboose1

I imagine he would appreciate anything because it represents you're proud of him and take an interest in his life. Idk you can screw up unless you get him something he's allergic to that he told you he's allergic to.


Caveman775

Give him a fancy cupcake and a congrats and ask him how he did it. Then ask him about his day at work went. Let him know that he matters and he did a good job


hallerz87

The fact you thought to treat him at all is 90% of the gift. Iā€™d be happy with your praise, your excitement for me, and a ā€œWorlds best salesmanā€ novelty mug for good measure.


PromiscuousT-Rex

Iā€™ll answer this from a similar aged males perspective. If I were to come home from work to a nice bottle of bourbon, maybe a cigar depending if heā€™s into that and just a night of support and good love, Iā€™d be beyond happy.


bufftbone

A little one-on-one time never hurts.


InfiniteKincaid

Yo, I hope you understand what a big deal this is going to be to him. Dudes putting in a lot of work, probably takes great pride in his job. Every girl I've been with didn't get how important my work was to me and how I really cared about it. He's going to be over the moon to see that you understand this is something he takes seriously - whatever you decide to do for him. This is rarer and more wonderful than you think.


Noneerror

Well in today's corporate environment, making a company an extra million dollars is worth a $5 gift certificate towards a pizza. Pro rate your gift on that industry standard.

a simple card and a home made dinner consisting of some food he lives and maybe a home made dessert too.


Klinky1984

Nothing. You're not his boss. Honestly if I was getting a bonus from work I'd probably be the one treating my girlfriend. I wouldn't expect a gift from her.


ll1037j

Good gawd, so many BJ responses. If thatā€™s your thing, go for it, but beyond thatā€¦ If heā€™s in sales Iā€™m guessing heā€™s a golfer. Get him a $50 gift card with instructions to buy the golf balls of his preference. If heā€™s not a golfer, buy him a $50 golf lessonā€¦because heā€™s in sales and needs to be a golfer.


oldchunkofcoalbut

Agree with the majority saying card/heartfelt note telling him how proud you are! I think a dinner is a good idea, too!

Home cooked meal, movie, and popcorn.

If he has a sophisticated palate, i would gift him a bottle of eagle rare (bourbon) or a good cologne with a letter!

3 month = nice dinner to celebrate as gift. if relationship was longer, I suggest a nice montblanc pen engraved with his initials. He'll need it to impress the clients.

I was surprised by flowers and a heartfelt card once and it was one of the most meaningful gifts I've ever received.


ritikusice

Get him a gift from whatever store he works at as a joke


natenarian

Donā€™t splurge I think even making him a dinner with his favorites. The most important thing is Acknowledging and Celebrating the moment. Heā€™ll never forget the respect and thoughtfulness of you wanting to celebrate his accomplishments. Heā€™ll be even more proud of himself because you are proud of him and happy for him.
