I'm Stumped- another holiday gift thread

[CoyoteMagic]

Get him one of those GIANT stockings and fill it with bunches of little do-dads from the dollar store or little inexpensive gifts. Men can be like little boys, they love toys. Table to pool or basketball . Cheap handheld games, etc. Goodies of different kinds.

OK ladies, if you want a guys opinion. November isn't that long of a time and assuming that it will get serious is a bit much. With that in mind, something very impersonal should do. Considering you don't know much about him is another reason. Though there is much more I can say, I suggest a gift card to his favorite place to eat. If you don't know this, then you don't know him well enough to give him a gift at all. You are not obligated to get him anything since you've only been dating a month. If you insist then make it impersonal. Or you could make him a really good meal, with out the fun. Worked for DW and that was 34 years ago.


With all due respect and as the father of three girls, I never understood why a man or woman would go to another man or woman for advice about a man or a woman. Does that make sense? If I was dating a girl and she gave me something personal after a month? I'd dump her and I have.

Had a girlfriend once who was going around telling everyone we knew and her family we we're getting married. Her mother and sister came to visit me by themselves to talk wedding and were shocked when I told them we weren't. Heck I hadn't even said those three little words to her. Dropped her real fast.

A smart woman gets a man to marry her buts gets him to believe it was all his idea in the first place.


Wish you the best

I have to ask Rancher... what's it say about DH... or ME that he proposed after three DAYS... and it's been 14 years (12 married) since that proposal.

Though, agree... I'm not a huge fan of gift cards either but it would do the job.... like the restaurant idea too because he could use it to take you out.

I like the this idea that SparksNV mentioned earlier- "A bowl with popcorn or candy and gift certificate for two to the movies with an invite from you."
It basically says ""I like spending time with you", without getting so serious as to scare him. Get a large plastic salad type bowl or better yet if you can swing it- a large popcorn "tub" and fill it with some bags of popcorn or kettlecorn, a few of his favorite candy bars and the tickets. If you don't know his favorite candies, go with candies that are classically associated with the movies. Sno-caps, Raisinets, Malt balls, Junior Mints... you get the picture.

Yeah.. the movie tickets/popcorn is a good idea too..
So... okay..this is what yur gonna do...

Romantic dinner and a movie...

If all you know about him is that he is a football fan.....then maybe invite him to the sports bar for a beer and watch a game! Get to know him a little better before springing romantic dinners on him, this could scare him away fast.

Whats his favorite team? ie. if he is a GB fan, a cheese head would be nice!!
