If you’ve started dating someone new, it’s safe to say gift giving is always incredibly awkward.
It’s a delicate balance between not being too keen and spending hundreds, or giving them nothing at all.

I always try to think about how I’d feel, and it’s safe to say that everyone likes being treated at Christmas – so what can you give them that won’t freak them out?
Big-ticket items are definitely off the cards, so I tend to go down the small and thoughtful route instead.
Take note of the things you have in common and like doing together, so you can both enjoy the present – or you can always look for gifts that are meaningful no matter what stage in the relationship you may be in.
I personally love all things food, so recipe books and sweet treats are a winner for me. Similarly, offering a simple but sweet gift such as a bottle of wine is a risk-free option.
Another great present idea is the card game Cards Against Humanity. It’s fun and er…eye-opening.
Don’t overthink it! Here are 9 Christmas gift ideas for someone you’re newly dating.
