He wants something meaningful and significant but not in the way that means expensive, he is willing to spend a few hundred (as his budget allows) he does not want to send flowers, or anything like that but something with sone genuine thought as a way to say thank you. I realize it's an unusual gift idea request, any ideas most appreciated.


How did she save his life?

OP here not comfortable discussing details. It was an accident that nearly cost him his life .He is 29 and she is 25. Thanks so much for all these great suggestions!

If I was the girlfriend I wouldn't want a gift. The gift would be my boyfriend being alive!

Have you son take her out to dinner and continue to be thoughtful and caring!

So no jewelry gifts ever? Ever before marriage? But what if they divorce?

I love the life ring necklace. Silver is affordable and lovely for a young woman. If that’s too high profile/visible for her then a similar bracelet would be awesome.

Dp i don't like jewelry. For me, a gift for what I like to do would be better ie a new pickleball paddle or a nice massage.

Op does your son know what the girlfriend likes?

thank you he is now. THANK GOD. I agree about this and he has already stated a long letter which will accompany his gift.

I also love this idea, I am definitely bringing it up to him. Think that's special.

these are great!


Yes. I was going to suggest Mantraband. You can customize it to say whatever you want which is what I liked about it; I don't always like the sayings on these things. I have one that says, "You already have everything you need" which was something I needed to be reminded of for a while. It's cute, small, unobtrusive and personal and nice quality but not expensive.

I saved two lives and didn't get anything. Son and brother. So good for him for even thinking it. (I do get a lot of thank yous and re-telling of the stories. Both near drownings.)

I have a silver charm from Tiffany — that has custom engraving. Maybe something like that?

Wow you are a hero! The gift you know you gave to two others will be a gift that keeps on giving to yourself...and them!
