.: Holiday Dating: Finding The Right Gift For Your Sweetie
Category:Home / Relationships / Dating
Dating relationships are tough enough, but finding the perfect holiday gift for your latest flame can be even tougher. Sending the wrong gift can also send the wrong message. And if you've only been dating for a short time, you may even not yet know all of your sweetie's interests and passions and the gift that will please them most.
And if you've only been dating a short time, should you give a gift at all? If sparks are mutually flying, go ahead and be as romantic as you feel. On the other hand, you may want to tread lightly if you're not sure where you stand. Sometimes an overly romantic gift can create awkwardness when it's not reciprocated. It's hard to go wrong with cologne. Something that shows a special effort can also be a nice gesture. For example, homemade cookies in a decorative tin or you can play DJ and burn a custom mix CD.
Still don't know where to start? Here are some ideas --
For Her
* A funky & casual watch with changeable bands
* Bubble bath and soaps in a matching scent
* An assortment of gourmet chocolates
* Luxurious cashmere blanket
For Him
* A trio of gourmet coffees and a mug in his favorite color
* Cigars
* Leather day planner or case for his iPod
* Tickets to his favorite sporting event (but you get to come along)
For Both of You
* Champagne in a bucket engraved with your love poem
* Candlelit dinner out on the town
* Sign up for dance lessons, and enjoy an entire month of cha, cha, cha
* An engraved ice cream scoop, assortment of toppings and a quart of your favorite flavor
