It's a very difficult to think of a gift for a guy. There are a few things, and in those few things, there are the common ones. So, what do you do? It's your anniversary, and you have to gift something special to your boyfriend; something nice and romantic.

Here is a day, that marks the completion of another year together, another year of ups and downs, another year of happiness and sadness, another year of so many things. Remember, you're celebrating all these special moments. Make sure your gift is just as special.

Buy a lot of small things that your boyfriend might need. It can be anything from a pen to something as expensive as a promise ring.

Blow balloons and in each balloon, place one of these things. You can add a letter or two as well. Other things you can include are vouchers, gift cards, chocolates, etc.

Now this one can be a planned gift, or a surprise. Tell your boyfriend that you have planned to get a caricature portrait done and plan this with a good artist.

Or, you can find a good artist and give him a photograph. The artist will get a caricature done with the photograph's help. Then frame it and gift it to your boyfriend.

This idea is a really special one and doesn't cost much. All you need, are a few photographs and equal number of helium balloons. Attach one photograph to one balloon and let them all hang on the bed. The photographs should be a particular weight so as to not let the balloons float very high.

Personal hygiene is important to all and it is something we maintain irrespective of our genders. Men are usually a little less informed about the different types of personal care products. It's a good idea to gift him an entire basket of toiletries. Buy yourself the same ones, in the women range.

If you have a lot of days before the anniversary, to prepare something on your own, gift him a hand-woven cardigan. If you don't know how to knit, learn. It isn't all that difficult. This gift will also show the efforts you are ready to take, to give him something so special.

A new bed could be a great anniversary gift, and a romantic as well. Get him a new bed with a set of bed sheets, pillows and covers, comforters and blankets. Go out for dinner and come back to surprise him with this gift.

There are a few things a man always needs in his wardrobe. Cufflinks, a tie, a handkerchief, etc. You can buy a few of these things and get his name or initials inscribed on them. You can add to the list are a pair of socks, his comb/brush, a key chain for his car keys, a lighter, etc.

A promise ring is a great gift, the one that shows your commitment towards the relationship. Buy two rings that look similar, and get yours and your boyfriend's initials inscribed on them. Also get a small quote inscribed on the rings. You can divide one quote into two and get a part inscribed on each ring.

Having your name on something sure feels nice, but having it inscribed on something that is unique, is even better. Try to find out, whether there is something he's always wanted to own. If you can't, you'll just have to think of something unique that he might like. Then again, you can just gift him something expensive, something which a very few people own.

Once you decide what you want to do for him, or choose what you want to gift him, think over the idea for a while. Only when you're sure he's going to like it, go ahead and execute your plan.
