Christmas gift for someone who always thinks of others?

My wonderful boyfriend has asked for nothing for Christmas. He said he has gotten something for me and I know that he has gotten things for my kids as well. When I ask him what he wants he says its about everybody else and not him. He is driving me crazy because he is hard to buy for when he wont give me any ideas and I have no clue what to get for him even though I know him very well. He is always doing things for others, me included. Please give me some ideas. It would be very much appreciated.

Update:

I have asked for nothing and told him not to get me anything. I just want the kids to have a good Christmas.

    Think back and try to remember something he has mentioned in the past that he really would like to have.

    Look through his wardrobe and see if there are things he needs. If you can't come up with anything, you and the kids could always cook him a extra special dinner or breakfast in bed (if you live together or if not, wake him up with it at his home.)

    If you don't live together, decorate his home for Christmas for him.

    Good Luck & Happy Holidays.

    Last Christmas we donated livestock, including goats and pigs, to poor rural 3rd world famlies, through two different agencies.

    One was "Samaratan's Purse."

    I think the other one was "Christian Children's Fund", which we always support wth donations year-round.

    As I recall, CCF gave the tax receipts to our loved ones, but "Samaratan's Purse" sent the tax receipts directly to us.

    Instead of "buying our way" giving gifts to friends and family who don't really need anything, we gave livestock in thier honour!

    It was not just a gift to them, it was a needed gift to the poor, in THEIR name.

    Everyone thought it was a great idea. Some will do it themselves this Christmas.

    Now THAT is a thoughtful thng to do for your boyfriend who does not want for anything. These poor families NEED these gifts!

    You can also donate a well where it's needed, or feed orphan "street children", etc.

    The both had a catalogue of things to donate towards.
