so my bf's b-day is July 27th but i'm a planner and the gift ideas i am thinking of may take a while. the other background info, is that he is very practical. like last year i got him a really nice painting that he looked at, but wasn't necessarily in the market for a painting. he likes things that he needs.
here are the options (our condo has a modern feel to it and we need a coffee table for downstairs):
the first one will fit better in the area which i'm really concerned as to not "sqeezing" a table into the space. i like a lot of floor space. is the first one "boring" compared to the second one?
with the first one, i would add this end table the second one doesn't really have a matching end table. which is another problem.
next year i am throwing a party on a yacht for his 30th, so this year i was thinking of just doing something more practical, something that he needs, but wouldn't think to buy right now.
thanks for any thoughts you ladies could give.

hehehe. i know. but you have to understand that he is sooo good with money and that he likes gifts like this. he likes nice things, so i was thinking this would be good. for v-day, i always get him something more personal, etc...i'm trying to get him to understand that the 1.5 kt. diamond earrings that we saw (for me) are practical too .

I think both tables are really cool, but I'm so drawn to that 2nd one. That's awesome! But if space is an issue and you'd rather have my floor space, go w/the first one.
