Sweet Somethings

Not sure what to do or give to your boyfriend? Is a special day coming up? Or do you wanna do something nice for him for no reason at all? Whatever the reason, there are a million things you can do/buy/make to show what’s-his-face that you care.
1. Do you know what his favorite language is? Is it Japanese like his favorite animes? Is it French like his favorite foreign flick? Learn something sweet or sexy to tell him in his favorite language of choice. Heck, you can even learn to speak with a British accent- or even in “Pirate”- if he digs it.
2. Homemade freaking cupcakes and/or cookies. Need I say more?
3. Most guys will wear a hoodie. Geeks wear Pacman hoodies and sporty guys wear team hoodies like Duke or Carolina. Some guys like urban themed hoodies. No matter what he likes or prefers, I guarantee you if you get the right one he won’t refuse an extra hoodie in his closet.
4. Does your guy use a hair trimmer to cut his hair? Yeah, I know, but some guys just do that. Well, next time he mentions needing to trim it up, offer to help him or do his entire head yourself. He’ll show you how to do it if you don’t know where to start. It’s a type of bonding ritual to groom another person.
5. It rarely ever fails to buy a guy something frivolous that you know he wants but would never in a million years shell out money (even $20) for (like that Bleach action figure set he saw at the comic store the other day).
6. Are you guys close? Do his laundry for him one day. Wash his dishes sometime. Heck, if you can do carpentry and he needs help, then help him out! You know the drill. Pamper his place. He’ll be supremely thankful if he’s not a douche.
7. A sincere compliment about his intellect, physical stamina, appearance, maturity and/or incredible sense of humor will brighten any guy’s day.
8. Send him a hilarious link you found that you knew he’d enjoy. StumbleUpon is the coolest new internet tool to help you out with that.
9. Sometimes it’s nice to make him dinner. Know what’s even cooler? Dropping by his place to bring him some breakfast to start the day off right. (Of course, call before you drive all the way over there!)
10. I have guy friends who will NOT turn down a massage, even from a female who is just a friend. Foot massage, head massage, shoulder massage, you name it! Now, some guys will not take massages. If he says ‘no’, take his answer at face value and don’t try to goad him into letting you do it.
11. Your undivided attention is always nice. When was the last time you just sat down and let him go on and on about something he loves to talk about? Is it his cool new job? Is it the play-offs? Is it that damn dude in his computer game raiding party he loves to hate, and will not stop talking smack about? Let him complain! Just sit back, relax, ask him questions and just enjoy hanging out with him for a bit. Isn’t it refreshing to not have to carry a conversation every once in a while?
12. Make him a mix CD of stuff/songs you know he likes but you know he doesn’t have.
13. Have you ever said to a guy, “I’m sorry. You’re right. Can we just not fight”? He’ll be blown away. Let him win a battle when the issue isn’t a big one. He’ll appreciate you all the more for being a good sport, even if he does eventually realize he was wrong (No, men are not ALWAYS wrong).
14. Gadgets. Never underestimate these magical little (or big) devices. Men love new technology and handy tools to make their lives easier, if not cooler. Geekologie is one of the best places to discover neat gadgets both he and you will possibly love.
