It would work for me.  I love carrot cake.

presents for Easter????  never got one, except from the Easter bunny -usually some little chocolates and skipping ropes or bubbles.
 

And hey, if its a different boyfriend since Valentines, that's pretty new.   I'd hate to feel pressured to buy presents that soon.  I'd make a simply decorated carrot cake and share it together, after the date, if it goes well. 

Don't try so hard...cms

Carrot cake works. No need to make it fancy. Cream cheese icing is a must, though.

My family has always done Easter presents.  I already have my nieces and nephews' Easter gifts.

The Easter presents were the bfs ideas anyway.

Buy nothing.

Just dress up in a (playboy) bunny suit!

So you are saying I should do nothing and just let them spoil me?

That is assuming they don't have other girlfriends. Nowadays that is a big assumption.

Socks and underwear always make great gifts.

For someone with whom you are not in a committed relationship, I think that buying Easter gifts is a little much.  I would simply set up a date for the weekend instead...cms

I agree,cms. No gifts!

I have to disagree. If people want to buy gifts for each other because it's Christmas, or Easter, or... thursday, why not?

Whtehr they are in a "committed" relationship or not is their business. Gifting is likewise.

I agree that it is entirely up to the individuals.  My point was simply that I wouldn't because it comes across as trying too hard, to me...cms

It sounds revolting. It sounds sickenly sweet. If you ask me there are only two things every guy wants for any special occasion. The other one is chocolate.

Power tools?...cms

The date has already been set. The present of Galaxyland is my Easter present. I just feel some desire to recipricate the thoughtfulness. He is also taking me out for supper.

Sounds like fun!  Enjoy...cms

No we have separate bedrooms at Fantasyland Hotel. It is still the puppy love stage so we r still being very sweet to each other.

In my experience if you buy a guy power tools they get offended. I have been told when a girl buys her bf powertools it means that their performance needs help.

I was assuming that power tools was the answer to MC's second thing that guys want...

Fantasyland Hotel? Where is it? Never heard of it.

Fantasyland hotel....West Edmonton Mall's hotel

Yes I googled Easter gifts for bf and that is precisely what I got.

Thanks. I found the hotel online. The fantasy suites look fun. Looks like a kewl place to stay so long as you stay inside the mall. Can't think of any other reason to visit Edmonton.

The Edmonton Space and Science Centre.

Fort Edmonton

The museum is pretty good.

Klondike Days

Meh.

No comparison to The Ontario Science Center, Fort York, The Royal Ontario Museum, The Canadian National Exhibition.

Anything Edmonton has done, Toronto's done better (exception, as I've pointed out, the mall).

I also like Canada Wonderland in Toronto.

I know and I have already tried to buy a bf power tools.  It didn't go over well. 

 MC, at least one can breathe walking outside in Edmonton!

Serena, rather than giving a gift I would say contribute to some of the date.  The cake is a good idea if you want to give a gift though.

I still think that socks and underwear make a great gift.

I think you're right, but for the wrong reason.

Guys don't get offended if you buy them power tools, but rather they get frustrated at being given the wrong model/size/speed/cut/torque/swing/feed/blade/rake/etc.

Guys are usually pretty picky about their power tools. you can't just grab the first one off the shelf.

I have also learned that guys get offended when you offer to pay for your share.

Yes but then he would model them for me....

The underwear I could buy...I don't know what kind of socks he wears.

 Don't split it, but if he pays for the hotel you could pay for dinner, that kind of thing.

What about offering to buy him breakfast at a nice restaurant?

I have tried this.  He agrees.  Then after we eat sends me to the washroom to fix NOTHING.  I come out he is gone.  I try to pay the waitress says "your bf paid already"  I go to the parking lot and find him in his car with a big grin on his face.  He asks if I paid.  I say "no you did"  He says "no I didn't....we better get out of here before the cops come"  He whips out of the parking lot.  I told him what the waitress said.  He said "Of course I paid....that is my job"  Then I asked what was wrong with my hair.  He says "nothing I had to get you out of the room so I could pay"

See answer for somegalfromCanada.

Why did he have to send you to the loo so he could pay for breakfast?

Because I was going to pay for dinner not breakfast.  He sent me to the washroom and asked for the check so he would not have any problems with me because I decided I was going to pay.

Got it.

On the way to the loo, stop at the counter to pay. If your bf asks, just claim you couldn't find it.  

.....and to think I thought I was defeated!!!!  I never thought of this.

There's nothing like being a little devious now and then!

You're just not evil enough

I am not evil at all.  I am the nice girl from fundy, Alberta.    

I used to be accross gasoline alley in Red Deer casting out demons and now I am literally accross the street in Red Deer (from my old Church)  getting psychic readings and participating in card readings, psalmistry, numerology, house walkings, contacting angels, contacting spirit guides, and channelling.  The Church is so powerful (NOT)  you can see it from the medium's house.  

I just baked my two carrot cakes.  I am SO hungry now I better go to bed....

So how did the dates go?  Did the recipients enjoy the cakes?...cms

Only one bf got a cake. He enjoyed the cake very much.
