Choose Gift For Dating

How to Choose the Right Gift for the Person You’re Dating

If you’ve just started dating:

Keep things simple and go with something small and thoughtful like….  

* A nice note or card telling the person that you like them.
* A book that you’ve noticed they’re been eyeing
* a USB key with a bunch of songs that you know they’d like
* small accessory or item that reminds you of them (no Totem Poles please) 

   * Flowers

If you’ve been together for quite some time & things are serious:

You can usually never go wrong with jewelry, shoes, that designer bag she’s been eyeing or a nice piece of lingerie  - just keep it classy and get someone at the store to help you pick out the item before you buy!

You should never give a woman:


* Lingerie when you don’t know her very well

* A self help book

* Teddy bears or stuffed animals (so not sexy)

* Anything that used to belong to an ex

* A USB key full of Michael Bolton songs (unless she’s into that)

* Men’s cologne (This actually happened to me once. I get that you want me to smell good but, REALLY?!)

* Anything from an airport gift shop in her home country (& then lie to her about it’s origins)

Did I miss anything? What do you think are good/bad gifts?
