So Im not even worried about Vday with my boo my dilemma has been planning his birfday and how to celebrate… he turns the big 30!! I have had soooooo many things cross my mind, but it’s early for us and I dont wanna go over the top!! But what I may consider not over the top may be for some… I know I want to do dinner somewhere nice, intimate, and def swanky… and give him his gift… which I am currently thinking on these baby’s here!! THEY ARE JUST HAWT!!
Gotta love nice cuff links...
Prolly follow dinner with drinks…. but help me out!!! What can I do?? I dont wanna go over top but I love birfdays especially mine! And I love making big deals outta them!!
So what to do- HELP A SISTA OUT!!
this is soo selfish what im bout to say..God forgive me please…but i hate when ive slowed the party down and his birthday is right around the corner…lol.i hate that..
With that said..your relationship is too new..go down on the budget a little. I bought cuff links for comeback daddy last year for 125..they look just as nice..
maybe you can add your own monogram or something..customize it. put his intials on it.
but 400 bucks??? too soon.

@CBG- Believe me that is not being selfish… only reason I am even entertaining the thought is cause my bday is in may!! LOL (now that’s selfish)!! Did you see the tiffany ones I linked?
If not these are it!!

ok i just changed my mind about tiffany…why does it have to say “tiffany on it” don’t blue box him.
can i use that for my book chapter “don’t blue box him”???
how bout a really nice tie??? Wait until he trinketizes you to step it up a little.
Comment by thecomebackgirl — February 4, 2009 @ 12:16 pm
I think you should do a don’t blue box him…. and you are right maybe save that for like Christmas or some ish…. That’s a good idea tie… maybe even cologne. I know he’s from Brooklyn. I wonder if I can find out some things he misses from there and perhaps order it??
Thank you Comeback for bringing me back to earth… Im dying for a charm bracelet so there wont be no cufflinks until I get that! LOL!

Holliwood: What about a scavenger hunt? Clues to find out the evening destination? What about something custom? is he a money clip kind of bf? or ask leading questions..what was the one gift he wanted as a child and never got..some spectacular toy..then get it.

@nicki: comment 41 on your blog…DAYUM…where has that book been all my life?
Comment by Akua — February 4, 2009 @ 1:49 pm
Ooooh, I like the scavenger hunt idea.
Have u met at least one of your friends that could help u get a shindig together???? That would be a nice surprise.
Comment by Nicki Sunshine — February 4, 2009 @ 1:50 pm
@nick
@holliwood
what I did for my old bf for vday 2005
Once the game begins you don’t speak to him till he arrives at your destination.
I put the first clue in his house
The second clue was delivered to his job with flowers
the 3 clue he had to go to his moms house and get
the 4th clue was under the passengers seat of his car the whole time.
The 4th clue included the key to the hotel room/jacuzzi suite
decorated with conversation hearts
roses
bubbly
and appetizers.
I then treated him to dinner
then we had each other for dessert..lol

whatever you do, don’t but those LV cufflinks, whether you are a millionaire or not! I’m sweating just thinking about it.
Comment by Pinky — February 4, 2009 @ 6:11 pm
just give him some good sex… gys are simple like that, I know, I’m one…
Comment by Mr. Man — February 5, 2009 @ 8:25 am
I am lovin the idea, Ms. Akua.
Comment by Nicki Sunshine — February 5, 2009 @ 9:24 am
Well I know you said he already has an Ipod…can u steal it and put a playlist on it? Or just make him a CD with a self designed cover or something.
Comment by Jada — February 5, 2009 @ 9:27 am
@ Pinky- He will get the cufflinks probably at another time but not right now!! And thanks for coming over!
@Mr. Man- I need something a little more tangible!!
@Nicki- Def incorporating Akua’s idea!!! Me likey a lot!!!
@Jada- He keeps it in his car… would have to find a reason to go in there!
Comment by Holly GoLightly — February 5, 2009 @ 9:30 am
@nicki: thanx boo!
Comment by asankofaqueen — February 5, 2009 @ 9:36 am
think of something that no one else can give him, except you. Easy.
Comment by Why so Awesomeness? — February 5, 2009 @ 9:55 am
WhySo it’s early I need some clues!!! LOL
Comment by Holly GoLightly — February 5, 2009 @ 9:58 am
I think it’s a great idea to go with something Brooklyn or something monogrammed, it’s very personal that way.
Comment by Tatica — February 5, 2009 @ 11:02 am
In addition to Akua’s idea of the scavenger hunt!
Comment by Holly GoLightly — February 5, 2009 @ 11:26 am
yes, i like the scavenger hunt idea too, that should be fun
Comment by Tatica — February 5, 2009 @ 1:04 pm

Comment by thecomebackgirl — February 5, 2009 @ 1:14 pm
It’s March 12th a thursday, but I am thinking about either that friday or saturday!
I hope its fun Tatica!
Comment by Holly GoLightly — February 5, 2009 @ 1:17 pm
he’s a pisces ..thats a nice mix.
Comment by thecomebackgirl — February 5, 2009 @ 1:20 pm
Yes the water sign!! He’s my first Pisces…. so far he’s true to his astrological characteristics…
Comment by Holly GoLightly — February 5, 2009 @ 1:26 pm
I think the cuff links are cool depending on price. The most important thing the gift should do is show that you care about him and you know him. It doesnt take much money to show this. As long as the gift isnt cheap and shows that you put thought into it you will be good.
Comment by Humble One — February 5, 2009 @ 1:29 pm
@Humble- They are quite pricey…. Im not gonna get him but I def wanna convey that I care and stuff!
