well all depends on how you feel back.

hate to say it but presents do say a lot, i am male and in the past have bought G/F's who i didn't feel strongly about shampoo and smelly stuff, but my G/F now (who i quite like.... ok a lot!) i bought jewellery. this could be the same for you at the moment although men are not usually so perceptive as women.

if you feel strongly about him but don't want to say "the word" why go for meal with something nice that he can keep, wallet, necklace, even a top.

if not why not just go to cinema and get a CD or something funny or even a scuba diving taster session.

i'm sure whatever you get will be great, as long as he is with you he'll be happy i'm sure! good luck
