Gift for Boyfriend/ Bestfriends Birthday?

He's my Bestfriend & my Boyfriend, he's helped me get through so much, & he's really important to me so for his birthday I thought it would be a cute Idea since he loves basket ball, to get a basket ball & write some meaningful stuff on it,( I know it's not much but it's a thoughtful idea) -.- But I have writers block.. any suggestions?
