W girlfriend for sure
What does that mean
It means he has a good girlfriend, but you don't have to worry about that
W - Win
L - Loss
2008, the burning of the library of Alexandria , 9/11 and D-Sol would for instance be a major L moments in history, in Fortnite terms
Other potential good ideas that don't have to break the bank but are a nicer touch
-wallet / card holder (know lots of men tend to hold one for a long time w/o replacing and it gets a bit worn looking)
-stone island (or similar higher end brand) vest or sweater (can be worn for work and also casually)
-wine / beer subscription if he likes alcohol
-tickets for a concert or event (e.g. if he has a favorite artist / type of music, experiences can be very memorable without adding more clutter if he is more minimalist)
Gotta get the badge in mate. Stone Island is so roadman I would not be able to take someone seriously if they wore it to the office.
First off, you're awesome for wanting to treat him. Being really honest, a lot of dudes don't get flowers much in their lives, so if you want this to be memorable on top of any material object you are going to give him, I can almost guarantee that the flowers will make it a gift he'll never forget.
The other suggestions for gifts on the thread are great already just wanted to throw that in :)
Dude...that's gay
Bro is a bottom 100%
This is awesome. My ex bought me a 25 dollar best buy gift card and made me pay for my birthday dinner. He's got a keeper.
Hermes tie - can’t go wrong
Do you know what industry group he's going to be in? Healthcare, tech, etc? If so, you should buy him a bunch of stocks in that sector. He and his new bank will love that.
Anal
12 coupons, One for each month, he can use them for a bj anytime he wants and you can't refuse( within reason).
I'm sure he would love it if you were yelling at him for something and right between your rant he asks you for a bj.
