Why do women look for so much meaning in everything?
Just try not to get/do somthing too corny (picnic or photo = whoopty-fucking-do)... I don't know what your bf is like but if my gf got me somthing like that i would by laughing as chunks of chunder pour out of my nose.
I'd go with a pearl forum kit, they're prolly the cheapest and best quality entry level drumkit, and don't get a cheap shithouse kit cos you'll only get angry at the sounds you make it... And try to get lessons before you get a kit so you can actually play when you get it.
