My boyfriend bought a day's worth of exposure on the sign at the local carwash and declared his love in lights...that was fun. He had earrings made using coins with the year of my birth and the year we met and a note saying that life began for me in the year I was born, but began for him the year we met. That was pretty wonderful! For me, it really is the thought that goes into it, not the gift itself. Unless it's intensely personal, like the earrings, gifts of stuff (sweaters, most jewelry, lingerie) are things I'd rather buy myself.

I know my best friend (who is male- but we aren't dating.) knew I was having a rough time a few months ago, and so he got in contact with my closer female friends and was like "Yo. I'm a dude- and I suck at comforting/emotion stuff." and a. asked for ideas to help and then b. proposed that maybe we all go on a girls night.

I given my wife the gift of a professional massage, at a nearby spa, a few times. It's always a great gift. I like Karo’s (comment #16) idea.
