A question to males... (and girls i supposse) about a christmas present

Hey.. I'm friends with this lad, he's the same age as me and we get down to a tea, we only know eachother via hospital, i'll be leaving in a week or so and i wanted to get my closest friends something, out of 8 months being there he's the one person ive felt i've related to the most and just gnerally gotten on really well with, ive felt like i've had a real friend. He makes moves and such, even though it frightens me i think im not making it obvious and keeping it at a close friendship stage. I wanted to give him something meaningful as i know his stay in hosp isnt at an end yet. Knowing he's religious i wanted to get him a st. christopher for protection on his 'emotional journey' you can get a males one in argos and i liked the idea, he doesnt have to wear it. But i just dont want to scare him.. i dont want him thinking its a move because it really isnt i just wanted to give him a meaningful item to say thank you and good luck really, show he's not alone. I wanted to give him something for protection and a st christopher seemed most appropriote for him really..

Is this too personal, is it too much, would it distress one of you? I just dont want to make him panic... would appreciate all opinions, thanks x

Give it him with a letter explaining what it is and what it's for.

That's what I do if I want to give a gift that could be misconstrued as something else.




Imperfection is underrated.

^ Agree. No reason not to do that for him if you really want to, just explain it.

I wouldn't find it too personal




Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

Its nice ,and its not too personal .Good luck



It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.
