Looks like a small Ananas (pineapple genus). Can you provide a side view?

It does look like a pineapple. Weird gift to receive from a boyfriend (lol). Here are more photos:

Ananas are 'terrestrial', meaning (unlike a lot of bromeliads), they need to be in soil. Use a very airy/light soil (something for cacti/succulents for example). Keep the soil only very SLIGHTLY moist until it roots. This one looks like it's from a dwarf variety.

Cool! I like the idea of having a tiny pineapple plant. I'll pot it right away in my cactus mix with some perlite. Does it like full sun?

Thanks subtropix :)

Yes, they LOVE and NEED FULL SUN, but keep it protected from too much sun until it roots (and it should, as long as it's warm). They are not really difficult even indoors.
