Obviously, you don’t want to go too big, yet you don’t want to not give anything at all. The goal: a gift that manages to say “I-like-you-but-we’re-still-getting-to-know-each-other-and-that’s-totally-cool.” It also pays to understand that a small gift—something thoughtful, semi-personal, and affordable—is the way to go when you’re dating a brand-new guy.


Below, a few suggestions.

DO: Get him a subscription to Iroko tv if he mentioned he’d like to start binge-watching “Breaking Bad” (or any other show that’s on the site.)
DON’T: Buy him a shiny new flat-screen TV to watch it on.


DO: Take him out to dinner.
DON’T: Treat him to a weekend away at a five-star hotel and dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant.


DO: Get him a gift that’s reflective of something topical that you’ve discussed. He brought up an interest in contemporary art? Get him a book of one of your favorite modern artists. He likes to cook? Get him a new cooking gadget, a new cookbook you know he doesn’t have, or gift card to a specialty food store.
DON’T: Get him something totally random and/or cliché like a tie if he wears jeans and tees to work, a baseball book if he hates sports, or a universal remote if he doesn’t own a TV (some dudes don't actually have a TV)...


DO: Make him a cool playlist with some of your favorite current songs, and an iTunes gift card.
DON’T: Make him a mix of the sappiest love songs of all time (gala la jams)


DO: Notice he’s been walking around without proper gear? Spring for a pair of cute and affordable leather jacket from, say, J. Crew...
DON’T: Run out and buy him a new Barbour coat.


DO: Go with stuff that’s edible. Nothing’s better than a homemade batch of holiday cookies or brownies.
DON’T: Take the edible thing too far—this means not buying him that $400 bottle of rare scotch you know he’d like to try.


DO: Plan a gift you can do together—like tickets to a concert, exhibition, or a play.
DON’T: Have an ulterior motive by planning it months and months in advance. Be sure the event is a week or two away, max

The DO's and DON'Ts of Nairaland will gradually get into the Guinness Book of World Record.

Advise plenty here.
