Haha so usually people buy gifts for people cause they care (not saying you don't...) but making a thread about a gift you're going to gave to your boyfriend seems like you're begging for gratification or something. Or maybe you are just so stoked that you just made this thread cause you couldn't contain your excitement while waiting till x-mas to give him his gift. Idk, trying not to be biased here...
But good gift for sure. If I was in his shoes though I would hope $1000 really isn't a significant amount of money for you. I would feel kinda bad if that was like 2 or 3 paychecks for you and you spent it all on me. But you're living together and well I have no idea how that's like so I can't judge.
Props OP, hopefully you got his boot size right tho...
