Birthday gift ideas for new guy?

A

I recently started dating a guy that I’ve been friends with for over ten years. As friends, we bought what the other asked for for Christmas. His birthday is coming up and I’ve asked him, and he hasn’t been any help! He just keeps saying that I don’t need to get him anything, or that he’ll appreciate anything I give him. I want to give him something meaningful, but not too “relationshipy” since things are still early. Any ideas are appreciated 😊
