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.
