You can learn about someone new in a new relationship, which might be a fun challenge. The idea of the new person is exciting, which makes everything happy. It can be terrifying to be in a new relationship when it’s time to start giving gifts.
It's a challenging time to decide whether to give a gift or not during the holiday season, upcoming birthdays, or dating time.
Trina Leckie, the host of the Breakup Boost podcast, says, 'Early in a relationship can feel a bit awkward because you don't know if they will give you a gift as well. But remember that part of giving the gift is not expecting something in return.
Steer away with gifting ideas!
A Pet
There are so many reasons to avoid giving pets as gifts. Pets need a lot of attention as they cost a lot of money in food, toys, and vet bills. If you break up, then the pet will lose a family member. The ASPCA recommends 'giving pets to people who have expressed a sustained interest in owning responsibility.
Cooking or Cleaning Equipment
A cleaning or cooking gift might be good if your partner is a chef or a neat freak. If they have not mentioned what they want and you try to give them cooking and cleaning equipment, the thought of saying, 'make me a sandwich and clean something, and it's just not romantic too.
Holiday-themed Lingerie
If you get your loved one to wear holiday-themed garments, they are less likely to wear them and not regularly. Get them something which makes them enjoy it as well.
Re-gifts from old Girlfriends
Don't ever give a gift to your new significant other, no matter how expensive that is. Make your partner worth it with an original gift, not an old one.
Mulls on some fresh ideas!
If your new partner is a superhero, gifting them comic books or a themed package of gifts excites them.Gifting ideas should be practical to their daily life rather than a random item.
One best options is to collect the last memories that both have enjoyed and give them as a collection to remember things well. If you are confused, communicate with your partner to eliminate the uncertainty and nervousness surrounding gift-giving in a new relationship.
