Is this a good gift for my boyfriend's 35th birthday?

Question

My boyfriend is turning 35 at the end of the month and I'm thinking about putting together a memory book for him. I was going to fill it with pictures and memories of our relationship with been together for 13 months. Or should I get him something that is more about him for his birthday and save the memory book for an anniversary gift?

Answer 1

Either one is sweet! :)

Answer 2

I think its a good idea.

Perhaps I'm old fashioned but shouldn't he be getting around to enabling you to put together a wedding album?

As my mother-in-law asked me, keep in mind she was an old country gal, "Honey, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?"

Answer 3

The best I think!!!

It doesn't matter if the gift is expensive..Only with how much love you give it to him...:)

Answer 4

There remain many unanswered questions here.....

Answer 5

I think the birthday should be about him.  The anniversary should be about you two, which the memory book is a more appropriate place to give

Answer 6

yeah, i think you should save the book for the anniversary, it would make it more special and meaningful that way.

Answer 7

save the memory book and get him something for himself.

Answer 8

Sorry, but I think the memory book is lame. Especially since you are only together 13 months. Maybe on your 13 yr anniversary it might be a 'cute' idea because then you may have some memories to treasure.

Definitely get him something that's about HIM.

Answer 9

13 months and you want to give him a memory book for his birthday?  Oh heck no!

Best is if you can make that day special for him and you, find something he has always wanted to do and make it possible, you are still making memories with him at this point, give an experience he can really enjoy with you.

Remember after you get engaged until the wedding things are going to start to be about you, so this is a perfect opportunity for you do something that is all about him.

Answer 10

i love it it is a great ider i made my gf one

Answer 11

For his birthday, he would probably like a more personal gift.  The memory book is a wonderful idea ... why wait for an anniversary?  Give it to him at your engagement party.

Congratulations on your upcoming engagement and best wishes.
