It's his 20th coming up really soon and i'm totally stumped on what to get him. Any ideas for good guy presents?

he's just a typical guy who just says he's not bothered about what you get when you ask them for ideas... :rolleyes:
trainers, nice watch, car stereo, car speakers, new clothes, aftershave, new phone, camera, computer games/controllers/that bollocks, dvd box sets etc etc, the lists for bloke type presents are pretty endless! It depends what he's into and whatnot, and what your budget is.
All you gotta do is turn up naked holding a six pack of beer!!
He'll love it.

It may not always be what you think is a good idea, like tools or a dust buster, but if he wants it, it can't be a bad gift.
Failing everything and if you are desperate. Get him a gift card to his favorite store.
What to get him stumps me though.
But, (back on topic) what my_name says is right. Anything little he mentions that he wants is always useful. Combine that with silly other presents like chocolates, socks, alcohol in a big bag, all wrapped individually. Entertained my boyfriend no end
I recent took my boyfriend away for the weekend to Windsor including a day at Legoland for his 22nd birthday. He used to be big into Lego when he was little, and as he's getting stressed at work, I thought he could do with a bit of a "kiddie" weekend
That should go in the romantic stories thread. :yes:
Hehe, thank you
He really enjoyed it - says I "always think of the best presents"
In the past, the ones that have had the most impact are usually the random things I send him for no particular reason - like a tshirt I saw that I knew he'd like. I sent it to him in the post (he was living about 100 miles away at uni at the time) and he seemed incredibly impressed with that... boys are weird!
One of the best presents was actually one my mum put together for the two of us last Christmas. Because we both need to learn how to cook, she bought a giant gift bag and filled it with 24 numbered presents - things like wine glasses, wooden spoons, oven gloves, recipe books, candles... and OXO cubes! Took about an hour to open and had us in stitches with the comments she wrote on the tags :thumb:
Hehe, nope!
That's Paris, isn't it?! Having never been to Paris, I wouldn't know, but when my Mum saw the picture she said it was a castle/palace near Moulin Rouge.
My boyfriend was in charge of the camera and he took over 200 pics! Usually a sign he's doing something he's enjoying! :rolleyes:

It was a little bit more expensive than this one, but he really liked it, and is always wearing it!
I bought my friend a Mr Potato Head toy for her birthday, and I'm planning on getting the guy I'm seeing a CD I know he wants and needs, as well as a Catchphrase DVD (this he will enjoy cause he's a loser, in a nice way).
So how about something that he can use/wants, and then something random, like some kind of weird gadget or something?
I'm buying Cluedo for my friend who's into detective movies and CSI and stuff, and a spy kit for my other friend.
And for the record, my friends are between 19-20 years old.
