He got a promotion and wants to buy me a gift which is so sweet but nothing comes to my mind. I don't need anything. I told him maybe we can go out and have a romantic dinner date but he says that is not a gift. He said he wants me to say something because he is not good at buying gifts and doesn't want to mess it up. What can I suggest him to buy?
Hmm that's tricky girl, gifts are always so hard when you don't really need stuff! A few things a guy could get you that would still be thoughtful:
- A cute necklace or charm bracelet. Guys are usually safe with jewelry and it's something you can wear and think of him.
- A spa day package! Like a gift card for a massage, facial, mani/pedi - every girl deserves to feel pampered.
- A photo book of your fave pics together. He can get them printed professionally so you can flip through the memories.
- A "date bucket list" - Come up with fun activities you wanna do and he writes them down so you can start checking things off together.
- A cute personalized passport cover or wallet - put an inside joke or pet name on it.
- Concert/play/sports game tickets to something you've talked about wanting to see. Experience over stuff.
Maybe those give him some ideas that are a little more personal than just stuff? Let me know if you need more suggestions! I'm sure whatever he picks you'll love just cuz it's from him.
Make it an EXPERIENCE not a possession. What's on your mutual bucket list that is within reason? Paragliding? Take a culinary or blacksmithing class? Renaissance Faire? Walking tour of a new city? Stadium tour of your favorites teams? Ballroom dancing? I've done all of the above and I will never tire of a new memory. There are so many experiences that just don't compare to objects.
My friend got a plastic colour bead set - I think that would make an amazing gift. Or a drawing tutorial or art creation set. Or a bead making set. Or a work out dance video. Or some gym items like a skipping rope or Pilates exercise band or a yoga mat or exercise ball. Or a board game or chess set or checker set. Or an encyclopedia about anything that interests you such as birds or fish or art or outer space or the mammals.
A perfume maybe? If he wants you to actually specify, than do it I would say, just close your eyes and think what is it that has been in your wishlist and ask for it.

That's the difference between a man's and woman's mind and perspective.
A man thinks of something materialistic.. sensed.. existing and lasting, something useful.
A woman would highly appreciate a bunch of flowers, or a dinner for example. Something that isn't lasting and can't be later used. It is the feelings and care she sees.
He has to understand that.
Whether you say it or certainly better someone tells him.
I'd say new sex toys

What? I am serious.
Maybe you two wanna celebrate it with steamy conditions and maybe try a new fantasy.
I don't need flowers or perfume, I just need food lol.
Tell him to buy a necklare or earings which you will wear but importantly will remind you of his gesture to you!
Lingerie, purse, or a cute necklace, so you can remember him while wearing it. 🥰
a gift card or something. then put it aside and use it for something needed.
Asking for something kind of ruins the moment. He should be able to think of something.
How about a new pair of open toed, backless high heeled pumps?
Romantic dinner date. Do not step down from what you'd like.
Some long lasting jewelries.
Something the both of you can enjoy together
a plush with his perfume on
Bags?
