I Need Valentine's Day Gift Help!
My boyfriend has stage three testicular cancer. Recently his white blood count went to .5 and he got hospitalized this morning. Anyways, we are here for Valentine's Day. This has been a real rough year and I know it sucks for him to be at the hospital for the third time since November. He isn't allowed to have flowers or fresh fruit, so I have no idea what to get him. Anyone have any ideas?
I don't want to get him a real awesome gift because his birthday is next month and every awesome gift I'm thinking of, I'm getting for his birthday (if that makes sense), and I really have no idea what to get a guy.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

he's got testicle cancer?... get him a set of rubber balls to hang on the bang of his car or truck!
First of all, I am very, very sorry that he is so sick...
Second of all, answering your question. I think it would be great if he could have something with him, at all times... I hope this does not sound like a present for a girl only, but a nice bracelet does not sound like a bad idea? Because guys wear those. For instance, a bracelet made of India rubber? or something in this style (I am not suggesting you to buy it, because it expensive! I just want to give you an idea of what I mean): http://images.saksfifthavenue.com/images/products/

But it takes a really ruthless scum to write something so insensitive. Go and get a life, because you are contaminating the internet. You must suffer from what I call an "attention-seeking behavior". If you were touched "in a wrong way" by someone, then go and see a psychiatrist instead of being an antisocial prick.
Sorry to hear that your boyfriend is battling cancer. Since you didn't mention much about things he likes, or interests, I would suggest books or new music for him to enjoy when he has a lot of down time waiting for treatments, or if you don't want to spend a lot of money, maybe you can decorate a picture frame (or make a scrapbook). I think he might appreciate new comfy PJ pants for when he is in the hospital--we all know hospital sleeping garments aren't desirable on the skin. Good luck and I hope he gets better soon. (Hope my suggestions are helpful.)
@myhometownglory@xanga - :D you're mah best frand!
I think a thoughtful card that you spent a lot of time picking out and then writing something very personal in it would be plenty. Those kinds of gifts are the best kind!
How about a dog tag necklace that has something inscribed onto it or a ring? (I know some guys don't like wearing dog tags) A thoughtful card is also nice. What does he like to do? You could buy or make your own personal puzzle for him to solve! Or some legos? haha, just throwing some random ideas out there.
@Nataly Loveless@facebook - Oh look, a skinny bitch!
Anywho, I think right now the best thing you can give is to just spend time with him. Maybe you can cook his favorite thing to eat? (I don't know what his diet restrictions are though).
@Nataly Loveless@facebook - thank you for saying that!!! because now I can go and show this to my doctor who keeps on bothering me for being underweight! I honestly love you right now :)))
Draw or paint him a picture! Sometimes, the best gifts aren't the ones you buy, but the ones you put a lot of time into.
@Nataly Loveless@facebook - which time are you talking about? When I was treated for anorexia or the one when I ended up over there for depression?
oh, no... that is what my doctor thinks, not me... I always saw myself as fat, and I am still fat... so I cannot disagree with you...!
Sorry to hear about his condition... can he have cookies? Cupcakes? That would be awesome! :)
A thoughtful card and some home made treats, whatever he can have. And spending as much time with him as possible.
Does he like jewelry? A nice necklace?
OR take one of his Birthday gifts and make it his Valentines Day Gift.
Make him a video compilation of your pictures with his favorite songs, places you guys love, jokes you share, ect.
a snuggly Linus blanky
and card with adorable charlie brown stickers in it. (that's what I want
) but you can have this idea, too.

I was hospitalized back in October for health reasons as well. I was in for about a week and I went crazy...I can't even begin to realize how hard this must be for you and him.
I buy my husband Lego sets (all men are just boys anyway XD), t-shirts and most anything else from ThinkGeek, magazines, DVD's, PC/Xbox/PS3 games, and things like that...hopefully that helped.
Good luck and best wishes to you both!
@Nataly Loveless@facebook - Thanks for being a bitch on my post, for no reason. At least the girl you are bashing gave me suggestions.
Could be worse. He could have stage four.
make him a home-cooked meal and bring it to him at the hospital! i'm sure hospital food is awful! (that is if he's not on some special diet the doctors put him on). or make him some cookies, anything cozy and home-made I think would be much appreciated when he's in the hospital! and perhaps get a good picture of you and him framed to put beside him.
give him some "action"
this website is very good, you can go and see it

@bloggicus_maximus@xanga - I am not pleased with this. There is no stage 4 testicular cancer. Only three. He has the worse stage of this cancer. Thanks a lot, for your suggestion.
one of my best and worst Valentines Days was spent with one of my best friends in the hospital. He was a total sweetheart, the kind of friend you can call at 3am just to talk.. some of his so-called friends ditched him when they found out his disease was terminal.. but most stayed by his side. His favourite dessert was chocolate Tiramisu so I had a friend's mom make it.. we had been eachother's Valentine for the last 3 years.. so made him a video scrap book.. something he could watch over and over (the thing was like an hour and a half long, with at least a thousand photos and his favourite songs).. The sweetest thing was he gave me his favourite hoody.. a thick black one from the Hard Rock Cafe (its got the really cool Dragon design on the back).. 10 years later I still have it.
So here is my idea...Check with his doctor about food restrictions and then bring in a picnic.. a nice light supper (you dont want to eat much stuck in a hospital bed).. something sweet for dessert.. and a bottle of sparkling cider (I think its called champanade or something?) and, if you can, a romantic comedy dvd. You said his birthday is coming up.. but the guys i knew in the hospital always complained about cold feet.. so maybe get him a teddy bear (or if he has another fav animal) and some warm socks.
I'd also like to add that some of the previous comments were very rude and insensitive. Her man is in this hospital... that was just uncalled for.
