My boyfriend is extremely strapped for cash this year, due to recently being laid off. He's relatively young (in his 20s), and is barely getting by. He is barely able to pay his rent, and very rarely ever has anything left over for food, gas, entertainment, etc. I am thinking that, because of the situation he's in, I'd really love to do something for him for Christmas to help even just a little bit. My two ideas are either getting him a nice wallet full of tons of gift cards for gas, grocery stores, etc. or else making him a really nice, huge gift basket of basic everyday essentials that he needs. Would these be good ideas, or would it come across as offensive? I'm also thinking of getting him a DVD he'd like, but I'm more-so concerned with getting him basic things that he is having to go without. Are there any more ideas out there that might be more subtle?

My name is Hope too :) Honestly, I think both of those are fairly god ideas. He shouldn't be offended by those gifts, instead he should appreciate the gesture and know you gave him those things out of love. I would give him a mix of both. If you do a stocking for him you can stuff it with essentials like toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, razors, etc without it seeming really obvious, make sure to include his favorite kinds of candy as well. Then get him a nice wallet and fill it with a gas and grocery card, then get him a shirt and maybe a few other small things. He will appreciate luxury items as well because I am sure he is not splurging on himself at all right now. Good luck!
