casey 0 #1 February 4, 2002 Okay, what is something inexpensive, thoughtful, and really cool that I could get for a skydiving boyfriend? (and don't say anything about boobies, i'm serious) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyboy62000 0 #2 February 4, 2002 Jump Tickets! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopherm 0 #3 February 4, 2002 I agree, buy 12 jump tickets and staple them in the shape of a heart on some red construction paper (or edible underwear). Damn, I'm good.-So how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJumper 0 #4 February 4, 2002 get a great big bag...fill it with tissue paper, and....no wait...that's giving away the sacred secretness of gift giving over the internet... ; )But jump tickets...excellent choice. Also, what about a new pair of gloves if the ones he has are worn?What you "think" you cannot do ...you CAN if you "think" about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #5 February 4, 2002 Are you a jumper? Frame a photo of the two of you doing something skydiver-y together.Walk a mile in your enemy's shoes. Then you're a mile away and have his shoes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FreeflyPlaymate 0 #10 February 4, 2002 no offense everyone, but although your ideas seem nice, it still seems too much like those gift certificate presents. While it's very sweet and thoughtful to buy something related to skydiving, it's just as easy walking into a store in the mall that you like and buying a gift certificate. The two keys are to one use your imagination and to 2 personalize it. While the ideas are sweet, jump tix, jewelry, that's great really it is, but why not send him on a scavenger hunt to get the gifts. Or just wear some high heels and only wear the necklace you give him. Buy a temporary tattoo with his name on it and place it somewhere on your body and have him find it. Valentine's day doesn't have to be expensive, just thoughtful. Blindfold him drive him around town and pull back up to your house, or take him out to some remote spot to watch the stars and bring along some takeout (don't forget to read the fortune cookie) Just think simple and run with it, deep down we're kids, we like very simple things from the heart. hehehe ok sorry everyone I'm rambling as usual, is it that obvious I don't have a valentine lol...I don't know if any of that helps, but hope it does!

MarkM 0 #11 February 4, 2002 Nothing wrong with that, but it isn't necessary to give your guy a gift that says you know his deepest thoughts. It's our burden as men to give those kinds of gifts to women Practical gifts are your best bet with guys, though I wouldn't be at all disappointed at all if I came home and found my woman wearing nothing but high heels and a necklace.A good "how 'bout you tie me up tonight, sport" would also be music to a lot of guys ears. And unlike the photos I'm serious about that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #13 February 4, 2002 No, No, Titties and BEER! Seriously, I think something that would be awsome would be a simple hand written note, telling him what you think of him. Then, make one of his fantasy's come true. I'm sure you know what atleast one or two are, actually do them. Yeah, I know that that isn't skydiving related, but hell, who cares.Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.-General George Patton- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #14 February 4, 2002 I didn't think she was asking for presentation tips... Just the present itself. Since she was asking here, I figured she was looking for skydiving stuff. Of course a cool presentation is... well... cool._Am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freebird 0 #23 February 4, 2002 Do a video for him in a cute little teddy. With a romantic song in the background. If your a jumper of course. If not susprise him with a cute little teddy bear that says I love You , with favorite beer!The longer you wait ........the more sense you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #24 February 4, 2002 Yeah, but its true...You can get a guy just about anything & he'll be happy. You may not believe a cordless drill is romantic but a guy wouldn't care, he'll love it. The trick to romantic gifts for women is much more subtle and tricky however. Get the wrong kinda gift & you're in trouble. Here's a tip for shopping for a romantic gift for a woman: It's gotta be something pretty useless. Flowers, candy, jewelry, etc. To women, a useful gift is not romantic. You can buy them a watch for a romantic gift, but it has to be rendered useless by being purely decorative & having a face so tiny you can't read it without a microscope. j/kSpeed Racer"Fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!"
