I just recently started dating someone. I've slept with him once. I want to buy him a present for Christmas, but have no idea what to get him. Can you help??
"X"
My goodness! I wrote and erased at least four responses to this letter already! They were all just TOO sarcastic to print!
All I can say is that you have no business "sleeping with" someone that you don't know well enough to buy a gift for! Skip the gift and get some therapy for yourself instead.
"Boomer"
PS: "X's" sarcasm is very subtle, by the way!
I don't know who you're dating, so advising on a gift is near impossible.
You may take a look at the details you've learned about him in your short
courtship. Does he like a selection of music? Would he appreciate a CD?
You might look through his cupboards - if he's a cooker, there's always
great new pots or an exotic cookbook. Does he own a video game? A tool
box? A grill? Since the relationship is still very new, I'd suggest
something personally directed, but not too personal. I'd stay away from
sex toys and boxer shorts, as well as books to increase your finances or a
set of Martha Stewart drapes. Try to match his interests, not what you
think he should have. I wouldn't go overboard with money either, he may
not think you "owe" each other a gift since you've only been dating a
short while.
