The sentence that properly combines the given sentences above by using a semicolon is: I never know what to get him for his birthday; perhaps I will get him a bicycle. The semicolon should be applied between the words "birthday" and "perhaps", but the word "perhaps" should start with a small letter and not capitalized.
