If you've just started dating and a birthday or holiday (Christmas) is just around the corner, you might be wondering if you should buy your new boyfriend a gift and if so, how much should you spend?
It is a dilemma for sure. Spend too much and if your boyfriend just gets you a box of chocolates, you'll be embarrassed as well as feeling undervalued and unloved. Spend too little and he'll feel that way if he spends more ... or will he? I don't believe men's expectations of gifts are the same as women's. I could be wrong ... My advice based on my own mistakes when buying boyfriends gifts in the past is to either discuss the whole gift buying issue. Agree a budget, or agree to a night or day out instead of a gift or agree to do nothing, whichever suits. Obviously you run the risk of keeping your end of the agreement and the boyfriend not, but that's the risk you take.
Meanwhile, for a new relationship, ideally go for light-hearted humorous gift that your boyfriend might appreciate and enjoy but not get 'spooked' by. Don't buy your new boyfriend a ring or offer to get a tattoo of his name on your chest. Definitely do not do that!
