Boyfriends birthday, need suggestions on a gift. Options

[TearsOfAPhoenix]

Ok so I just found out my boyfriend's birthday is next Wednesday (the 10th) and i need suggestions on what to get him. He's a varsity football player/golfer and is into baseball (Houston Astros) and bands like Weezer and other alternative rock/rock bands and he also likes Johnny Cash.

The thing that is also concerning me is that he didn't tell me his birthday was coming up. His friend brought it up. I was kind of hurt that he didn't say anything but his friend also mentioned that he lied to his last girlfriend because he thought she might break up with him because he was younger, which she did end up doing for other reasons, I believe.

Anyways he brought it up today in class when he asked me when my birthday was and then i told him that i knew his birthday was coming up. We talked about it as he walked me to class but he was trying to change the subject. I really don't care. He's only 9 months younger and that's a really superficial thing to end a relationship for. I'm just disappointed that he didn't tell me.

Well our relationship is still fairly new we've only been together for a month and a little less than two weeks, but I still want to get him something. I was thinking of a handmade card and some kind of gift, but i don't know what. Any suggestions?

something i used before. but yeah.

adhere to his personality- get him something that is based on what his personality-type would like. go ask him yourself so you know its something he would like, even though any gift is worth it. and too bad if this was too late.
