From SomeoneSpoilMe: Navigating New Relationships on V-Day

Is this too new for chocolates?

As we all know, celebrating Valentine’s Day when in a new relationship can be somewhat awkward.  How should you acknowledge the holiday?  Here are some tips from the gift giving experts at SomeoneSpoilMe.com.

Just Started Dating

If you just started dating someone and decided that you are going to spend Valentine’s Day together, you should definitely give him a gift.  There is no need to give him anything over the top – it should be thoughtful, but not too personal. Here are some great options for him…

If you know his favorite sports team, get him a get him a Red Jacket Vintage Sports tee ($32) or hat ($26+).

If you know his favorite TV show, get him a fan tee like Crooked Monkey’s “I Heart the Jersey Shore” ($28).

If you want to get him a gag gift, customize a tee for him with a funny saying or inside joke ($8+).

If he loves sweets, get him the Manly Brownie Sampler ($32). Enter the SPOILME discount code at checkout for 20% off.

If you are very comfortable with each other the lover vouchers ($7) are a really cute gift. They include candlelit baths & more. If he gets ahead of himself – tell him you will hold on to his IOU until you are ready!

If you just started dating, but decided not to spend Valentine’s Day together, you do not need to get him a gift; however, if you like him enough that you will be thinking of him on Valentine’s Day it doesn’t hurt to get him something.  In this instance, you definitely want to keep it small in the event he doesn’t reciprocate.  A Valentine’s Day edible cookie card is a great option.  It is inexpensive ($2.75) but can be personalized with a friendly note.
