Do I need to get a birthday present for my new boyfriend?
Question Posted Thursday December 22 2011, 2:00 am
I just started dating this guy like a week and a half ago, and his birthday is right around Christmas. We've been friends since the start of the school year, but I don't know if I'm supposed to get him a present...? We are only 14, and not very serious yet. Any advice? Do I need to get him something, and if so, what are some ideas? Thanks.

Maybe write him a poem or give him some candy. You don't have to go all out because you just started dating. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

You know him better than us.. what does he like?
If you really aren't sure, then get him a card and bake him some nicely decorated cookies (or whatever food he likes) Thought would have definitely gone into make him a present AND it's food - you can't go wrong with food for a guy ;) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Maybe get him a card and something you know he likes. Sports stuff, t shirt, hat, or anything close to that.
If you really can't find anything. A gift card is always nice with some candy. [ lightoftruth923's advice column | Ask lightoftruth923 A Question ]

A small gesture like a card and something you know he'd like. Or perhaps making a point of celebrating his birthday with him and arranging a day/night out at a venue he likes.Regardless of what you decide to do for the occasion, it's the effort you make for it that shows someone that you care.

He would appreviate it if you get him sonething he likes, for example a music CD, or a tee, or a coffee mug autographed by you. These are some general ideas but if you tell me sepcifically what kind of a person he is, I might just help you more. :)
And if you are having seconds thought about the gift thing because you think it's just 'week and a half' you need not worry, because it really doesn't matter.
