If your bf is anything like my hubby, then he wants exactly what's on his list!!!! My hubby and I simply tell each other exactly what we want for Christmas...or even better...we go buy it ourselves and give it to the other person and say, "Hey, this is what you're getting me for Christmas."
If I were you, I would definately get your BF something off his list and then maybe get him some other small things as surprises.
