What Should I Get My Boyfriend For Our One-Year Anniversary?

My budget is around $100-$200. I was thinking of the Xbox Kinect, but there should be better out there! We've been dating for a bit over a year now. He's 23-years-old. I hope this helps.Gentlemen out there, what would you like as a gift from your girlfriend?
Ladies, what have you bought for your man that he honestly really liked?
What should I buy, or not buy?Thank you.

I stopped buying things for my husfriend. He buys everything he really wants. I make mushy-mush things, usually with strong geek overtones.
i painted a portrait of him as a giant bug fighting robots and dinosaurs. he pretty much loves it. i don't buy him very much because i usually create most of his gifts. i bought him a star wars lego set one year, he totally flipped. i think its about knowing your boy and really knowing what he's into and wouldn't expect.

ha, in all seriousness though, just try to pay attention whenever he says he wants something. My boyfriend would talk about wanting a bean bag chair and so I bought him one cause he never got around it. He loved it because he wanted it. I think it's a lot of a safer bet to buy your guy something that you know he wants and not something you think he wants.
The Xbox kinect sounds like a good idea, maybe if you're unsure you can buy him something small on the side as well.
I definitely see what he's been pointing to and wanting. I always made sure to get my boyfriend something he wanted or relative to what he likes, something a girlfriend would get him, then something homemade, along with some goodies.
I usually would get him something like: a video game he wanted, some cologne and, on our one year, I did a jar of 365 reasons why I loved him (that I had been writing since the DAY we started dating). Along with that, I baked him something or made him dinner- I can't remember which.
I found that the what he likes, what a girlfriend should supply and something homemade, as well as extra time with him, made him really happy. HAPPY ONE YEAR, GIRLY! <3
I got my boyfriend an ipod touch for his 21st and he loves it! x
I have given successful and unsuccessful gifts to my husband over the years. What I have learned is to give three presents each time.
1) Food. Either make him a basket of cookies, his favorite cake, a really nice dinner, etc. This is small and shows you put time into it, and also impresses him with your ability. Let's face it, cooking isn't hard but looks hard, and most guys think anything tastes good. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, :)
2) The second gift is the big one. The one you blow your 200 dollar budget on. The actual tangible "gift" part. Girls always have a wish list of a million little things going, guys usually have a couple really large things. A sound system for their car, the latest apple gadget, Kinect, etc. Usually they are lusting after these things so hard you have heard about it a million times and know they want it. If they really haven't mentioned anything in a while, a cool watch or two tickets to see their favorite team play or band perform will do in a pinch.
3) The mushy one. The one you are doing because it is your anniversary. The one you are doing because it makes you feel good giving it and deep down you know they will treasure it forever. A scrap book of your love, a long letter describing all the ways you appreciate them, a mix tape of songs that make you think of them, basically the sentimental present is because it has been a good year, and you want to actually explain that to them rather than just shell out lots of cash.
There is the optional fourth gift of physical gratification. You know what I mean, but I don't know what you and your boyfriend are comfortable with this early in your relationship. But if you are doing everything, guys always appreciate that!

Only you know what he likes... so go with what you think he'd enjoy and get the use out of. My boyfriend and I trade gifts very very rarely. The two gifts I've given him that he's gotten the most use out of are a small ipod shuffle he can clip to himself while working out, and a french press so he can make coffee. Saying he is 23 years old helps very very little, what kind of guy is he? What things is he into it? What does he not have that he'd benefit from? GL!
For our 2 month (yeah... I know... only 2 months,) I got him his first ipod (just a little one. I was supposed to get it for his birthday, but I couldn't wait,) that said "Let's grow old together" and was blue for the Air Force. Then, I got him a leather Fossil wallet that had wings similar to the AF wings, but cuter. Then, I got him a leather bracelet (really simple) and a small pack of Hello Kitty band-aids (to heal him while I'm away) and some used lip balm of mine (we exchanged.) Make sure you put a lot of thought behind each thing you give him. I really really recommend Fossil.
I worried about this as well but I realized it's not the biggest deal in the world. Anything you give him and that you put heart in..he will love ;) Trust me on this. I just cooked breakfast with my bf and spent time with him at the zoo. To him, that was a gift onto itself.
i think about this all the time. For my boyfriends birthday i bought him a pair of sneakers that he saw one time we were at the mall together. He really liked them but couldnt afford them so i saved my money & surprised him with them.
i think its all about understanding his individual wants and desires. my boy is pretty quiet, so when i have to dig through my brain and try to remember what he admired throughout the year, it's hard to come up with things i think he'd like. usually you can find it in their personality and day-to-day behaviors. he likes music and he likes video games, so naturally i got him something to do with both. i also noticed he has a huge collection of unique old boxes at his place. i asked him about it and he said he loves collecting them from thrift shops. we ended up picking out one he really liked and i put it away to store his christmas gifts in.
i also agree with the sentimental part...guys dont like to admit this one, but if it's done right, their heart will melt. im an artist, so i always have a long list of things on the back burner for him, but if you're not too crafty, even a framed picture of a happy moment can do the trick. it's important because it says 'im not just spending money on you' (which anyone can do)
When I had my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, I made him a scrapbook showing our first year today. He loved it because it was so personal and special.

For my one year with my guy, I decided to take him somewhere he has never been. i over heard of a a lil hot springs that not many people knew about that was close to where we lived. It was summer so i took him out late at night and surprised him with this amazing lil oasis that felt so personal cause he had never been there before or even heard of it. Which is kinda amazing cause we both grew up around here. I also packed a picnic and brought music ...all the essentials, towels, tp, ext. and of course his gift. which was all and all a spectacular night!:)
u shud just make love to him
shud i make love to him?
