There's this guy ive been having a crush on and I want to get him something good for Christmas. He and I love games a lot..and I want to get him a video game that he might want.. the problem is that i dont know what game he wants he has a lot and im not sure which one he doesnt have. I dont want to ask him or have friends to ask because that would ruin the surprise. what do i do? or i could give him something that is on his list..but he gave that list to my friend but i want to get him something different from that. like something he never would have thought someone would give

Try making him something and personalize it. You could make him a card and decorate it with construction paper or something. Don't rush on it, make it really nice and be creative! It doesn't have to be a card, but anything handmade is always a nice gift.

Handmade gifts are really cute& personal
Have fun with it
Ask his friends to snoop for you
yep, GOOD LUCK!

maybe you could give him a gift certificate to somewhere that sells a lot of video games?

well, of course, there's the method of gift cards. bless those.

or, u can strike up a conversation, cause u both like video games. u can discuss them, and as u talk about each one, u can say stuff casually like, "do u have that one?" or whatever. u know, casually find out info and make it seem like normal conversation talk. just don't overdo it.

or u can make something urself. bake him brownies that look like xbox controllers or something...that'd make him remember.

personalize a gift that's always special.

Wow.. I have the same senario, except I plan on buying my crush a CD. So, heres how you should do it. On AIM, or the phone, or in person.. start talking to him.. be like.. "I really like [insert game name here]" "whats your favorite game? Really? I [have/have not] heard of that [is it/it is] good." and then slip into the conversation "what games do you have?" Write down the games he has so you remember, and when you go shopping for a game, bring it so you make sure you don't buy one of those games...

.. or you can do this. In the conversation asl what game that he really wants. You could do some research, if you don't know much about games and in the converstation say "oh, i really want [insert game name here] for xmas.. wait for his reply.. and if he doesnt say much .. pop into the conversation "What game do you want?" and buy that.

These should work.. I think
