Official since 10th December: Xmas gift, to buy or not to buy?

[DALIFAN]

Hi guys/girls!!

 

Before hand let me wish all of you wonderful holidays and a merry christmas in advance!

 

My boyfriend and I have been together since 10th December and dating since mid October 2013.

I've been thinking if I should buy him a xmas gift or not.. I haven't known him for too long, but I figured it would be nice to give him two tickets to a play and the book I recommended to him during our first date.

He's been super busy with work and regretting not having much time to spend quality time with me, to read books, watch plays, etc..

 

Sure, there is no harm in giving a gift, but lately I feel like I've given him too much attention and he knows how much I like him. I know he likes me a lot too, but he is not the guy to constantly show his affection verbally and sometimes it makes me sad. But I don't want to come off as needy either.

 

By giving him a gift I'm afraid it's again me showing (too much) attention and it might be awkward for him if he doesn't have anything for me.

I really don't care about him having a present for me, I enjoy giving gifts....

 

Anyway any thoughts? Thank you

Get him a gift if you feel like it Would not analyze that too much, just do it. Giving gifts are fun

Yes to the gift, but:

1) don't make it two gifts, just one (it's the thought that counts)

2) pick something *HE* likes, not that you like

3) by the gifts you mentioned, it looks like you're going the extra mile, and it might be too early on now, or too much too soon. Keep your budget under $20 or $30, so that you have something nice for him for a reasonable price.
