what can i get my boyfriend of 6 years as an emergency anniversary gift the day of?

r/

long story short; just like the title says. i didn’t remember until last night at like 10pm, so there’s no time to order anything! i don’t really want us to have anymore “things” if you know what i mean, we have a one bedroom apartment with not a lot of storage space. so an online subscription or just something i could pick up at a store but doesn’t need to sit on a shelf and collect dust? or any experience ideas? but nothing basic. but idk. its so hard bc i forgot with no time left.😭 i’m at a loss so i wanted to see what things other people might suggest! thank you!💖

edit: he likes basketball, football, video games, weed, movies (like REALLY into all of the stuff that goes into making them and behind the scenes stuff & same for tv shows), star wars, some anime, wutang, etc. nothing super niche!

    You can go on Viator and look for romantic local experiences you can buy and then get a card. You can also gift something cheeky or kinky, if you guys aren’t both too tired for it / if it’s a work day. (Just being realistic, dude the work mode can be depleting lol)

    Massage or barber. You can surely get an appointment online and pay it online as well. Bonus: no extra clutter;)
    Good luck!

    I’m a guy and was once gifted flowers. Didn’t think I would like them, but just the act of someone thinking that maybe I would was so sweet. I hope every guy gets given flowers once

    No additional suggestions but set a calendar reminder to repeat annually three weeks before the actual date.

    A question, if you please: what is the probability of your boyfriend remembering?

    That sex act? The one he always wanted to try? Pick one you also want to try and make it spicy?

    A thoughtful note in a card has always been my favorite thing to receive on anniversaries.

    Buy him a game online + one you can play together

    Easy to pick up and small: a really nice weed pipe/accessory. Especially one that uses physics for a better pull since you said he’s into the background of stuff.

    Steaks and BJ’s are always in style.

    Be honest. Tell him you forgot but you will make it up to him in the coming weeks. Just don’t buy something because you feel like you need to buy something. Really put some thought into it.

    Shit happens. People forget things. Be honest

    -Beer of the month club or weed of the month club

    -Or a weed clone. Go to a dispensary

    -A new bong

    -If you’re in SoCal, buy tickets to Warner brothers studio tour

    -NFL annual tv pass

    Tell him you want to buy him tickets to a game but weren’t sure which one he’d want to go to!

    Depends where you are but near me there’s a race track that you can drive a race car on the track

    Buy something in an actual shop, like maybe not the ultimate dream gift, but just something general nice or thoughtful. Give special attention to him, making him feel extra loved and appreciated, like making his favourite dinner. Maybe say he still has another gift coming that was specially meant for him, but it suddenly turned out to be sold out or the delivery time was longer (only if you actually still buy or order something for him).

    An experience of some kind. You can get the red letter days and stuff like that as an online coupon or email and have a good experience together. The gift of together time is precious!

    I give my husband flowers and then we smoke them.

    A bottle of liquer. Whatever he likes, buy him a better one than he’d buy for himself.

    Ball game tickets, or a mini holiday. Both can be handled with internet access.

    A heartfelt letter goes a long way.

    I bought jerky and made jerky roses.

    You could also book a fancy hotel with a nice bath/rain shower and a view to stay for the night 😉

    Same as he always wants, it’s free and you don’t have to wrap it.

    I’d be pretty happy with the steak and sex suggestions, but concert tickets would be a close 2nd.

    Beef jerky, a pocket knife, Amazon gift card, nfl tv package, an oz

    Lottery scratch offs and his favorite snacks and candy, it’s what me and my wife do for most of our special gifting occasions.

    Liselotte or Tickets for something

    PSN gift card and a blowjob

    Good meal and sex,

    I never ask for anything for my bday, anniversary etc because if I want something I get it. At the end of the day an anniversary is celebrating that you two met. So celebrate it by celebrating eachother.

    As shallow as it sounds. Sexual favors that aren’t an everyday occurrence really can’t be beat. As much as I enjoy presents, I can buy my own stuff and I know it’ll be exactly what I want. But I cannot suck my own…you know. It shows you know what they like on a deeply personal level, shows vulnerability and is a connection based activity. Bonus points if you cook his favorite meal before hand. While every man is different, there are three things that for most men make us happy, let us know we’re loved and cared for. As a friend’s mom once told her soon to be married daughter, “Want them happy? Feed’em, Fuck’em, then let them sleep.”

    Could you look and if there’s a Star Wars or Anime convention nearby? I just attended Rebel Scum Con in Frisco, TX, and had a blast! A great experience all around.

    Or, get a card and write a really sweet message in it. Take whatever money you were going to spend and put the cash in the card. Explain that you want to do something special, but you want him to pick. It’s his money to splurge how he wants. Expensive dinner, gaming stuff, up to him. Or you’ll do the planning if he wants.

    Make yourself the present. Stay in bed all weekend and do what mammals do.

    Sex is always a good last-minute gift, I would just as much appreciate a very well written card with a sweet message and maybe some fresh flowers. Don’t overthink it, stuff happens and people forget things.
