Search Results: birthday ideas for boyfriend

Boyfriend and I are going long distance for the school year. He's going to school 6 hours away from my school.

We've been together for 3 years, however, so the distance isn't an issue that I'm overly concerned about.

School starts next Monday for both of us. His birthday is September 6.

As traveling to be with him is not possible at that point, I was thinking of mailing him a present.

I can't really afford much, though (thus why traveling to visit him is kind of off the table), so I was thinking of borrowing the idea that's been around on Ifunny/9GAG/Pintrest and send him a jar with paper slips in it.

The original idea is to fill it with reasons why you love the other person, but I thought I'd fill it with little "snapshots" from our relationship over the years. Little one-liners from our inside jokes, meaningful moments that happened to us, special dates, etc. And of course, there'll be a bunch of "Happy birthday!"'s and birthday/college related things in there too.

He's kind of a hopeless romantic so I know it'll appeal to his soft side, but I'm wondering if it's too mushy of an idea.

I'm not really romantic and I only pull the sappy stuff like once a year.

Should I keep thinking? Or would that be okay?

There would be 70 slips of paper in the jar.
