You’ve just started dating someone, and your plans include spending time together during the holidays. How do you handle the touchy subject of exchanging gifts? It may seem like a romantic idea, but if the timing is wrong, it could be awkward. If you’ve only gone out a few times, your relationship hasn’t gelled yet. You should be expecting the unexpected.
Whether or not your date arrives bearing gifts, it helps to be prepared. It’s smart to have a wrapped gift available, just in case. To be on the safe side, choose a book you’re looking forward to reading, a favorite bottle of wine or something else that you’d enjoy. When you are dating someone new, inexpensive gifts that reflect your personality are best. When Ralph surprised my client, Elena, with a couple of extravagant outfits after they had only been seeing each other for six weeks, she responded by backing off. Keep it light, flirtatious and fun. Once you’re in an established relationship, you and your partner should be able to talk about what type of gifts will feel comfortable for each of you.
My gifts to you are a few of my favorite links, articles and other online goodies from the past year.
