What should i get my boyfriend for our 1 year anniversary?

We're both 19, so it's not like I have a lot of money..budget around $50-75 for the gift. I've been in a two year relationship before and it didn't work out, but my bf now is DEFINITELY a keeper so I would like this to be really special. Our anniversary is like a week before school starts.. and I go to school out of state (so we're like 2 hours apart for the school year– long distance relationship, so that's why he's so special to me because we had to work with the distance for our first year). I've been reading answers on the same question and there are many suggestions on scrapbooks and having photos turned into paintings.. great ideas but not for my type of guy. My boyfriend in a nutshell: LOVES high top shoes and watches.. butt I've already gotten him both for the last 2 holidays (plus that doesn't seem very sentimental for an anniversary?) he's a break dancer/ dance teacher <–he lovessss what he does! he also has a couple random other jobs on the side to pay the bills (he lives on his own, with a roommate) like being a lifeguard, details cars, and possibly is going to bar-tend? He's a "meat-head"..loves to go to the gym. He used to box when he was younger.. I don't know if that rings any ideas? He loves Jordan apparel, but again, I don't think buying him clothes is a good sentimental gift for an anniversary. He loves artists like Usher, Drake, etc.. but he's seen Usher twice in concert and I can't find any local concerts that he'd like around the time of our anniversary. We go to movies a lot!..our first date was at the movies. He's basically a very outgoing person, gift can be funny/humorous. I love him to pieces so I just want the gift to be something he will remember me/ our first year together when he looks at it.
I already plan on taking him to a nice restaurant where I will pay but I want an actual gift to give him. Can be homemade because I'm very artsie myself. I would rather not paint/ draw him a picture tho…but i'm sure he expects something creative from me considering I am that type of person (he already has lots of frames with pictures of us and big paintings on his walls done by me in his room). But your suggestions don't have to be homemade things, I'm perfectly fine with buying a gift too! Or even something we can do as an activity.. can't be like scuba diving or too extreme because we don't live in a city that really offers that kind of stuff?
Anyway, I'd really like help with gift ideas!!!!! (anniversary is a couple months away so I have time to get something ordered or what-no)

please no sexual things. keep it clean :)

Heyahh..Congrats..Boys Are Very Hard To Shop For Lol..Well My Fiance Proposed To Me On My Birthday So If You Really Feel That This Relationship Is A Keeper..Then You Could Always Propose To Him..That Would Be Very Special To Both You..&&..Him. If You Dont Feel Like That Is For You Then How About Arrange A Romantic Weekend Away Together. Fair Enough It Isnt A Gift In A Box Or Anything But You Can Take Photos..&&..Buy Things From The Place For Remembrance..&&..Memories. Or You Could Ask Him Where/What He Would Like To Do..Or Have Then Take Him/Get Him It.

Whatever You Choose To Do Will Be Special To Him As Long As Your With Him..That Will Be A Gift In Itself.
Hope It Works Out Hun..Have A Good Anniversary..Xo
