It's that time of year. You need to buy Christmas gifts for everyone on your list. And there's a name on that list that you're just not sure about. Maybe you've only gone on one or two dates with her but you're planning on seeing her again. You think that a gift is in order but you haven't been seeing each other long enough to be sure. You want her to know she's starting to be special to you but you don't want a gift that says you're more interested than you are.



Here are some great (but emotionally safe) gifts that you can give her this Christmas:



- Coffee or hot chocolate samplers. If you know which one she drinks, you can warm her heart by getting a gift basket filled with it.



- CD/DVD. Getting her a CD or DVD that you know she wants shows that you've been paying attention to what she's mentioned (or at least put in her profile favorites).



- Magazine subscription. Get her a magazine that she probably doesn't read yet but which is related to a topic you know she likes.



Gifts that you'll want to stay away from if you aren't quite sure that this relationship is going to last too long into the new year include lingerie, jewelry and anything overly personal. You want the gift to convey what you truly feel about her this Christmas so if you're not quite sure, keep it at sweet but casual.



Don't forget that there are other women in your life besides this lady - moms, sisters and co-workers all need gifts too. Check out Tips for Men Shopping for Women in Their Lives for ideas for those women.



Question for the gals: Would you prefer that someone you've just started dating gets you something this year or ignores the holiday altogether?
