How to hint (my boyfriend) that I want a necklace for my birthday?

[Anonymous]

A heart shaped necklace is that too much to ask for? I just want something small and pretty I could wear that makes me think about him, this is the first time we buy each other something for birthday. So :) we have known each other for two years and a bit more than a half, so I guess it's not that desperate if I ask him for one, true?

I have bought him a big beer glass (2.5 pints. he loves beer).

Tell him exactly which one you want, pick it out online or show it to him at the store.
If you want to play Russian roulette with your birthday gift, then the next time y'all go shopping, drag him to a jewelry department, make him look at a necklace and say something like, "I LOVE this necklace!!"
You risk not getting what you want but you also have a little suspense as you open your gift.
