New Relationship Gift Guide

New Relationship Gift Ideas for Someone You Just Started Dating

Being in a new relationship is a beautiful thing. You’ve found someone you connect with on a much deeper level, so it’s natural to get the urge to surprise them with a thoughtful gift. But with new relationships, the art of gifting can be uncharted territory. Before you get carried away, we have some gift giving tips for someone you just started dating.  

 

Established couples often gift each other as a show of appreciation. They can also surprise each other on special days that mark milestones they've reached together. You're only just getting to know your significant other’s likes and dislikes. So, giving certain presents within the first few weeks or months is an absolute no-no. Without intending to, you could wind up sending the wrong message!

 

If you need to find something for a birthday, work promotion or other celebration, we’re here to help with new relationship gift ideas for him and her. Choose from lighthearted, inexpensive gifts that’ll strike a perfect balance of affection and fun for a more subtle gesture. 

 

When Are Gifts In New Relationships Acceptable?

Before you even start thinking of a present, you need to know when and why you'd like to give it. While you're still new to your relationship, consider yourself safe with gifting during public holidays. These include Christmas gifts for a new relationship, Valentine's day, and New Year's Day. Surprising your significant other with something small and sweet on their birthday can also have great results.

 

Beyond this, you'll need to gauge the type of person you're dating. For instance, if they like to mark occasions, something like a cute one month anniversary present would earn you points. An excellent way to test this is by giving a random romantic card first. This will show they’re in your thoughts, and how it’s received will be a clear indicator of whether you're on the right track or not.
