Boyfriend's birthday, ideas please? :3

I just want to do something really special for him. I want to make something for him, and also maybe take him somewhere too. Details: He's turning 23, he lovessss baseball and sports, he loves music, he loves photography, he likes monsters (thats how he relates with my cutesy stuff hehe) and anything interesting or cool. He's very versitile about what he likes actually. But animals, and fashion are defiantly my thing and not his haha. Ugh I am just stuck, I want to do something AWESOME for him. I guess I am stressing a little but I'm trying not to ^_^ heh
Any ideas?? Mostly just need some ideas of something I could make for him (': Thank you!!

You could try screen printing a shirt with his favorite sport's team on it with a custome touch. Or if your into sewing you could make him a replica of a baseball and bat out of material. Hope i could help Happy

Well if you were to make a plush baseball bat, just get a simple drawing off the web, enlarge it, and use it as a 2-d pattern. for the baseball just make a simple sphere, and embroider the extra stuff onto it. Also if you search screenprinting on the site, you will find loads of ideas and tutorials on how to do it. Also you could you bleach instead of fabric paint, and instead of screaning you could use a freezer paper stencil.

I made a felt cd cozy (sounds pointless, but I thought it would be cute to open) for my best friend for his birthday based on a song from a band we both like a lot called "grizzly bear". Just made a pattern based on a cd with a flap and I made the flap a cute grizzly bear, then attached some velcro, then got him the new all girl summer fun band album he didn't have. Could do something like that. Like, find a band he'd like that has a monster themed song or something (I dunno what kind of music he likes, so that could be hard!) and make a monster cozy. He seemed to like it! There's also like, a neat leather journal on this site I've been thinking of making for my dad someday, and I've also made him camera cozies. Or maybe you could make a frame and find a print of a photo he really likes. I dunno, hope you can think of something!

This is a football cushion I made for my boyfriend for Christmas: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/middlesbrough-fc-cushion

I don't know if it's the same for baseball but in England, football tshirts are worthless unless they're the real ones, so stencilling a football logo onto a tshirt is a slap in the face. Hence the cushion instead!
