Newly dating gift for girl

If you just recently ventured into a romantic relationship with someone and are feeling conflicted about what to gift them for the holidays, you're not alone. New relationship gift ideas are complicated, because you don't know each other that well yet, and you might not be on the same page about gifting in general. If you're just barely official and Christmas is fast approaching, to gift or not to gift is not necessarily intuitive. If you're unsure, you don't want to get anything too extravagant or expensive, but at the same time you don't want to get anything lame or impersonal.

Finding the perfect gift for your fresh partner feels like an important task, because you want to be generous and impressive. A great gift makes you look good, let's be real. Here I've curated a list of simple, low-key gifts that will show your partner (or potential parter) that you not only took the time to consider them this holiday season, but also that you have incredible taste. If for some reason you weren't on the same page about exchanging gifts, these items are small enough that they won't make your partner feel terrible for not bringing you a gift, making things awkward. What's more, some of these gifts double as activities that the two of you can enjoy together.

1. A Pop Culture Game

Everyone loves The Office, and if your partner doesn't...well, it's good that you know now. This board game is funny and engaging — it's the kind of gift that will get opened and played immediately.

2. A Personalized Print

You can order a print from Art.com and have it arrive before Christmas if you're fast, so think about the things you know about your new partner and find them a print that shows you listen. Did they love cars? Are they dying to go to Iceland? Use the limited information you know about them to get them an incredibly thoughtful gift.

3. An Artsy Game
