Xmas present

LegacyUser

I am meeting a guy for the last three weeks, we are both in our late 20's and getting on well. Do I get him a xmas present or not? I dont really know enuf about him to get him a proper present but am worried in case he gets me something and I dont have anything for him.

Any ideas?

I think that buying him nothing might send a bad message. I presume you know something about him that would allow to come up with something appropriate. Nothing OTT, though. What about a nice sweater? Something for his car, if he has one? Or a €20 ticket for the Lotto's forthcoming Millionaire draw? An investment in your future...

Buy him a token gift, nice t-shirt or something like that. It will be appreciated.

Buy him something small like a voucher or something :-).

Get him one of those great universal presents that you can produce if he has something for you but that you can use yourself or give to someone else if he doesn't. Saves embarrassment all round.... and if you have to keep it it's a bonus for you. I'd agree with the other posters... some thing small. Maybe something like an amazon voucher?

Hey I was in this situation a couple of year ago, I was seeing a fella for just over a month(we're still together). I bought him a nice bottle of aftershave and he pops up with a 200e gift voucher, mortified.

Believe me...he's going through the exact same thing...talk to see and see what he says.

Yeah i'd get him something small like a dvd or a t-shirt.

I think it'd be kinda bad form if you DIDN'T get him anything tbh. Not saying to run out and buy a rolex or anything! Just something small! I remember when I started going out with my OH, it was about a month to Christmas, I bought him a Topman voucher. Nothing too personal, or something that screams, "OMG I love you, please say you love me too!"

There's plenty of choices: CD's, DVD's, etc...

Get a generic gift, something like a bottle of his fave tipple. So if he gets you something then you have something to produce but if not, you have something you can use.

I got dumped years ago, just before xmas. But I didn't mind because I kept the gift I got him and thats the story of how I obtained my Coldplay - Parachutes cd

Wow it's bad enough being dumped, but Coldplay *shudder* :P

OP I'd say he is in the same boat as you on this one. Easiest is to talk to him, but as the other posters say get something small and thoughful. A movie he may have mentioned (or you saw together), or clothes, or a vocher can't go wrong (that's how I have guitar hero ), or depending on relationship you could get you both something some nice lingere or something you can keep. How about a nice break somewhere down the country? Go halves together thus avoiding him getting you a car and you getting him a CD

Get him a book/DVD/CD.

Safe enough present that won't have him thinking you're coming on too strong but hopefully that he'll like.

What comedians does he like? Stand-up DVDs are normally welcome in most guy's houses.
