I think, as long as you put a little of yourself into a gift...then, you won't disappoint him. Personally, I don't like getting the typical Valentine's gifts, and, I'm actually all right with not getting or giving anything...the holiday itself is so commercialized now, it's never been one I gave a lot of thought about. But, something that you made would be cool...a picture of the two of you together, or just of you by yourself...maybe make a card out of one...or get a good picture and a cool frame...make a cd...or maybe get some popcorn and a big bowl, some sodas, some cool cups or mugs to drink from, and a movie (or even just a blockbuster gift card) and present it in something he can use later (like the popcorn bowl, a bag or box or something that is practical as well as being something you can put the gifts in)...it sounds expensive, but, the bowls and mugs you can get easily at a dollar store...or even a thrift store or goodwill...and the popcorn and sodas aren't that expensive...I think that would be a cool, unique gift, and, you two can enjoy it together. Anyway, I think it's sweet that you're trying to do something nice for him. The guy I'm seeing is buying our tickets to see a musician we both like...and, we're actually trying to get my parents to go, too. I hope it all works out for you!
