That's really good that you have such a supportive boyfriend, I think that you shouldn't just rely on gifts to show how much you love him, tell him how thankful you are of his being there. It'll make him happy to hear how much you love him straight from your own mouth, rather than an expensive present.
Expensive gifts are often embarassing for the reciever. I would go with organising something out of the ordinary for him. What is one of his secret dreams? Is there a restaurant he has always wanted to eat in?, A show that he has aways dreamed of seeing? A trip he would love to take? Try and make one of those dreams a reality and he will see the love and energy you have put into it and know how much you love him. In a way anyone can put their hand in their pocket and buy something. Organising or setting something up says so much more. But that's just my opinion.
Tell him, straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. But, you could also do something loving yet simple for him. Make him a dinner, but make it special. But also plan it so that he just gets home one evening with absolute no clue and finds that you have made dinner for him. I find that usually, the simplest most spontaneous acts of affection are the best in getting the message across of how much you appreciate them.
Yes - just tell him. Hearing that you're appreciated, and making a difference in someone's life (in a positive way!) is the best gift that anyone can receive!
