Tips on a Gift for new boyfriend

By Leena Ray

Having a new boyfriend can be a very tough thing not because it is bad but from the point of view of the fact that gift giving at that stage of the relationship can be very tricky issue.

You can go either sit on the sidelines and think of gift ideas for your new boyfriend and I am sure that each and every idea you think of will have two sides to it and you will be debating on each one of those ideas for countless hours thinking will it be what he wants or will he like it or will he be able to appreciate the value of that gift or will you actually succeed in scaring him away from a long term relationship.

I have a few simple tips that you can read and say goodbye to stress for the gift giving at Valentines Day or his birthday.

First, never go overboard with lovey dovey or sappy mushy stuff for a new boyfriend and stay clear of those even on a valentines day. Valentines Day can definitely mean lovey dovey things but not for you at this stage of the relationship. Try a simple gift like a homemade cake or even a homemade dinner for him with a movie for you two later. Even for Christmas try only the simple gifts like a tie rack or special cologne or even a special personalized iPod for him.

Secondly the cost should be kept at a essential minimum and I will suggest about a $50 and yes at a stretch can be $100 but nothing more.

Third tip is that never try to give a funny gift unless and until you know that the gift that you are going to give will be well received by your boyfriend. Be sure that he has maturity to handle something funny or witty as a gift.

Fourth, never ever give flowers to a guy, most guys never like flowers but they may accept that later in the relationship as you bond and thinking matures but not before when you are absolutely sure that he is ready for such a thing. - 15437
