1. Know whether the relationship is exclusive. If you aren't absolutely certain, giving a gift may create an awkward situation!

 

2. Do give a gift that reflects where you currently are in the relationship. Don't try to use a gift to move the relationship to a new level. Gifts such as flowers from Teleflora are generally appropriate - you can give a fairly simple arrangement or select something much more extravagant

 

3. Women, don't give him a gift unless he gives you one. It may sound old-fashioned, but most guys prefer to take the lead.

 

4. Men, remember that women may interpret your gift as a sign of how you view the relationship. If you've only been dating for a week, a box of lingerie or very expensive jewelry may make her question your motives.

5. Don't give a gift that indicates you are already planning a future together. Keep it light, and give something appropriate to the nature and duration of your relationship. Give tickets to a concert or other event you can enjoy together. For a romantic evening, bake a batch of heart-shaped brownies using Heart Mini-Bakers and Fabulous Fudge Brownie Mix from King Arthur Flour, or share a bottle of sparkling Batasiolo Moscato Rose. To keep your lips kissably soft, Vaseline Lip Therapy is offering limited-edition Swarovski Crystal Vaseline Lip Therapy Jars designed by "Mad Fashion" star Chris March.
