You shouldn’t have!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Have you ever dated someone who gave you a gift that left you speechless? Not the good kind of speechless! When it comes to dating and relationships, things can certainly get prickly when it comes to buying gifts. Different stages in a relationship can dictate various levels of gift giving. You wouldn’t buy a person you are casually dating the same thing you would buy someone you have been madly in love with for years, right?
So, with the holidays rapidly approaching, let’s help each other with a few tips to guide couples in gift giving:
Blind date gone great: you are shocked you hit it off so well. Great chemistry and conversation but you know precious little about them. Do NOTHING. Put in a phone call and let them know you are thinking of them. If you must buy something, make it fun and campy, play up your sense of humor.
New guy or girl: You just met Labor Day weekend, but they are already occupying a lot of your time, attention, and maybe even your place. Be careful, you don’t want your gift to send the wrong message: No lingerie, big ticket gifts, or jewelry. Best bets: new cd or itunes gift card, cool hat, or book - hopefully you know their taste in these already.
My shmoopy. That’s right, you guys are at the nauseating pet name stage! I totally love this stage of dating, You are all euphoric and silly. You have established exclusivity by now so the gifts can show you are in it for the long haul. A pet you co-own, a trip somewhere fantastic in the future, concert or sporting event tickets. At this point, a special, well-thought out gift that proves you really know the person would go over well. Try to recall things that they are hardcore about, hopefully you listened!
Ball and chain. Just because you are married or have been together since the first Bush was in office, doesn’t mean you have stopped dating! Gifts at this particular stage should be romantic, sentimental, and meaningful. Gifts can range from things like sexy lingerie or something naughty to spice things up in the bedroom, to jewelry or electronics they have raved about. You have about 5 weeks, good luck!
Do you have any tips to add to the list?
Do you think that some gifts can be relationship/romance killers? Have you ever received a gift that was well-intentioned but turned you off instead? How did you handle it?
What was the best gift you have given someone? How did they react?

I AM FIRST THE CAPS GIRL!!!! Giving is from the heart. Dont expect anything in return. I think you can buy someone a gift if you all are just casually dating, why not. Who cares how long you have known the person. Its what the heart says!! Someone bought me a car. The best gift I have ever given was myself.

I stick with chapstick (a 5 pack at that) and a card.
Pretty much solves my problems.

Thanks for that, I thought getaway day was going to be slow.
So um…..someone gave you a car, and you gave yourself?
I mean was it something new, did you pull a few tricks out of the bag? What was so different about the “you” he had been getting for you to equate that “gift” with a Car!

Can we be done with work this week already?
Oddly enough, I’ve only had someone special to buy for a few times in my dating career. And while the gifts I’ve given weren’t anything that would knock the gal’s socks off, it was thoughtful and personal.
When I have been in a relationship during the holidays, I make sure I get a card and write something personal in there. I’ve always been big on that. Because someone can bag on me for my gift giving, but not that it wasn’t personal.
You obviously have to write something that is appropriate to where the relationship is, but it is the thought that counts. Anyone that thinks different is pretty shallow.

Morning, everyone. :-)
By the way, interesting topic and great breakdown, Wise Diva. ;-) If I may, I’d like to approach this from a somewhat different angle. Not necessarily to counter what’s already been suggested, but more so to augment, if you will. I’m hoping this will be especially helpful to those of you who are in the early stages of a relationship.
And, oh yeah, I’m prepared to receive a blog citiation for this one, so bring it!) LOL!
Along with considering what type of gift to present, you should also take into account how the other person might respond to such a gesture. I say this in the context of the person’s “love language” (of which there are five: 1. quality time 2. words of affirmation 3. receiving gifts 4. physical touch 5. acts of service. We all have at least one love language and it could very well be that the person to whom this gift is being given does not possess the love language of ‘receiving gifts’ and if not, you could be setting yourself up for disappointment if the person doesn’t respond the way you hoped.
Don’t assume that because you went to the effort and expense to buy them a gift that it will be accepted with open arms and a smile, because that’s not always the case. In other words, remember that not “every kiss begins with Kay”. If you’re not sure, just ask them how they feel about being presented with gifts. Some mates respond well to visual symbols of love and affection, whereas, others do not.
Sometimes all your mate desires is for someone to be there for them, so just your presence alone can be a very powerful physical symbol of love to them. On the flip side, people who do speak this love language often feel that a lack of gifts represents a lack of love from their mate, so you’ll need to keep this at the forefront as well.
Disclaimer: I’m not a relationship expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. ;-)

I appreciate your sensibilities, I truly do. You are a articulate writer with a clear train of thought.
Take the opportunity you have here (with educated people reading your words) to practice conciseness. Here, you know your audience (at least somewhat) so the parsing of your comments isn’t neccessarily a necessity.

I think that gifts should reflect how well one is familiar with another person’s character, interest, personality, lifestyle, etc. After all, if in giving a gift it is the thought that counts, then our gifts should reflect how well we think of the person to whom it is given.
For example, I like oils, incense, scented soaps and candles, books-none of which have to be high-end to purchase, but I would rather have something this simple and appropriate given to me as a gift than to receive something very expense that did not reflect me or my interest.
I also, being very crafty and creative, make a lot of gifts (including individualized hand-decorated cards and wrapping paper) for my friends and people to whom I give presents. One year I made soaps and candles for everyone, and another year I made semi-precious stone eyeglass chains-again individualized for each person receiving the gift.
The biggest joy in giving and receiving a gift should come from the memory it creates when it is given.

Thats true in some context, a person that gives all will receive great, even if it doenst come from the person that they are currently with. Thats why I was able to give the greatest gift of all: Myself, people appreciate good company, its well deserved.

Good morning Darrell, Dan, Binford!
I gave a gift last Xmas to the guy I was dating (found out later I was nothing but a booty call). I gave from my heart. I spent $45 dollars on some cologne. He was p**!!! I was so hurt ya’ll. :( He texted me a week later saying “can i see you tonight?”. He bought me some perfume that I threw in my closet, because it wasn’t from his heart, it was a I feel obligated present.

@M’k
My thought on a gift is not “what I think of you”, “how well I know you”, or for that matter “what you think of me”.
For me giving someone a gift is statement enough. My sister argued with me last night as I didn’t get her the matching lip gloss for her birthday. I told her (like I would anyone else) that with the traveling I do, you fortunate not to get hotel stationary. I took the time to get you something so be easy.
But (and no dis to you) if someone has a gig and sends me a handmade card, while I’m appreciative of the sentiment, I worry about my relationship with that person.
But, hey, that’s just me

You have made a good point about how the person receiving the gift may or may not respond. One year I had a guy I was involved with give me an expresso maker ($70), when all I wanted was to pay my darn cellphone bill at that time- my struggle was on like a chicken bone, bro. I needed my phone, I did not need the expresso maker-I had a coffee pot!!!! And the bill was less thatn $70 to boot. lol

We live and we learn. Not all that glitters is gold, so to speak. It can be painful anytime a gift is given from the heart and not received as such; or when we find out the person to whom we have given the gift does not have mutual sentiments for us in return.
I believe that we need to learn to give and receive wisely-because not all people who give are truly altruistic in their intentions when they give.

My hade-made gifts have been marketed and sold professionally. I make top quality items. I am a craftperson. So when people receive items that I have individuallly crated for them , it says that I took the time to think about them personally. Anybody can spend money, not everyone can creat love.

@ Beautiful
I have to admit to buying less than stellar gifts for ladies that “might not have meant as much to me” at the time.
But, TTTG, I would buy a smaller version of something I saw in the bedroom, just enough to know I “pay attention”, not too much bread, and still enough to get that late night “everybody’s asleep upstairs” phone call.
It’s just how the game go, but as has been said here a # of times, not everybody play it the same way.

Good Morning All,
My last work day for the week..Yah!!! But because I will be working up a sweat before I go..have to make this quick. I am a creative gift giver-I like giving things that will be memorable, that will not go to waste and gifts the person actually likes. So if you take the time to know your mate and their habits and likes it is easy to come up with some nice gift ideas. I agree with Wisey’s list and would add my top three favorite gifts I have given.
1. A overnight hotel stay complete with dinner before-mini fridge stocked with his favorite things to snack on-a warm bath drawn so he could relax and (the rest you can draw your own conclusions)
All expenses paid trip to Biloxi, MS for the gambling man. Complete with 200.00 start up money(this was a few years back-and hey I am not Oprah) He wound up winning about grand off that 200.00 so not a bad investment.
A personalized coupon book filled with all kinds of trade-offs, goodies such as a dinner, movie, quiet time, etc.. including 4 sexual wild cards that could be redeem at anytime but not all at once

I think the key to gift giving is to not go too much over the top. If you really like the person, that is great. I think a nice, modest gift should be given in moderation. You have to leave something to be desired.

Since I love to dress and style…I like to buy clothing for a guy I am with. I pay attention to what his personal taste is and try to stick to it. Now I have occassionally dazted the fashion misfits and I had to help him out on the low. I would say..”I got this for you because I saw it and I thought it would look great on you”. I also love a man that smells good…so I have bought cologne. I have also bought spa packages for a guy (manicure, pedicure, facial and massage)…I love a well groomed man!
I must say I have gotten some really great gifts..my ex’s mom had just met me and she knitted a halter top for me…which I still hold very dear. My parents have always hooked me up with trips, jewelry, clothes,etc. But I love gifts from the heart when it comes to guys. Show me that you put some thought and effect into picking a gift.

@Sexyleggs
I just wanted to say that in conversations that I have with some of my female homegirls (Before and After’s) I often mention your openess and liberated attitude toward sex.
Matter of fact one of my exact quotes was “Sex is not an obligation, or in fact a gift to be dispensed to the worthy, it is a biological need that is tied, in some minds, to social imperative. I want a woman who can free herself from that dynamic in a productive way. Not to be with me simply sexually, but understand that the act is just that, a process not a conclusion.”
So I wanted to thank you for being honest (as much as I hope you are being) becuase truthfully, I’ve only met a handful of SLF’s.
Glad to know more!

I believe in gifts based on need or sentiment. If a person doesn’t wear a watch but always asks the time, then buy them a watch since they clearly need it. If your girl has some family pictures that she keeps around, then have some enlarged and framed, or have them restored; it’ll add to the sentimental value.

It sounds like you give thoughtful gifts that reflect what a person is about to you or how you may want to express how you feel about him, so way cool.
I have never been very good at buying cologne or scents for men because I have one set of sensory preferences and the guys I know always seem to have another. It is easier if I know a particular brand the he prefers, but otherwise I try to avoid it.

When you give from the heart it’s just that, from the heart without any expectations regardless the outcome. There shouldn’t be a time table on what and how much you give if it’s sincere. Certianly everybody is not a giver. If I dated a non giver then I would have to keep an opened mind knowing that I won’t get any gifts but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t give any.

Morning Folks!
The most thoughtful gift I received was a keyboard. Not an expensive one - but I remember sharing with this person my desire to have a music room when I get my dream house. Well the first birthday I had after buying my ‘starter’ house, he bought me a keyboard.
My ‘you shouldn’t have!’ gift: There was this guy I met at a gas station when I was back in college. We must have talked 5 minutes in person. I gave him my number and he started stalking me on the phone - so I told him off. He then sent me a dozen roses with a big ‘I’m Sorry’ balloon to my job that included a poem proclaiming his love for me. It took me a few months to get rid of that dude for good.
For the most part I’m like the guys were the other day, I enjoy giving gifts but if you are expecting one - you probably won’t get one, outside of birthdays and the regular holiday givings.
This guy I met recently surprised me by giving me flowers on our first date.

I give good gifts often…lol! but one of the best (and thoughtful) gifts I’ve given was to a guy I used to date. We went out often and I noticed that everytime he paid, he would pull out this ratty looking leather wallet…
I’m somewhat of a Gucci fanatic, so I figured..hell, if I’m carrying Gucci so should he. So I bought him a Gucci wallet. Needless to say…after that purchase, I never saw him pull out ANY wallet again. He was CHEAP as hell after that…LOL!

@ Kinderbabe
Think about the topic. I could give you a nice Christmas present (functional or pretty or prescient) and then turn around and give you the exact opposite type of gift for your birthday (one more relationship oriented).
Then I’d be sending mixed messages. That’s why Kleenex in a pretty bag never goes wrong. ;)

the best gift is when someone steps outside of who they are and voluntarily into who they nknow me to be. doesnt matter what it is or what it costs…. out of all thats in that genre did they pick what reflects the best, what truly mirrors my spirit, who i am in my soul.
if it doesnt change me to fit more what they would like me to be (dress, grooming, scent) than i come away feeling appricaiative that this person cares for who i truly am… and that is the best gift of all!
i strive for the same whenever i am moved to give a gift.

Okay - off topic
Had old friend use to kick it with a while ago. Stopped talking. Recently was contacted by this person. Went out..dinner & movie. Nothing happened, however did sleep over there due to distance from his place to mine. No kissing, no horizontal tango, none of that. That was about a week and a half ago. Get a missed call from him while i was in the gym. Returned the call, chick answers. Hear rustling with the phone. (I thought maybe a call came in while i was dialing out since it caught me off guard) I call back, she asks if i want to speak to TD. Sure. Rutling again with phone. Female says, well I guess he doesn’t have anything to say now. If we all just friends, what’s the problem. Slim still confused. I ask whats going on. She says, something to the fact of she’s his fiance, been engaged since August. WTF??? I started laughing my azz off. (Yes I did apologize since I didn’t want to offend her)

Alright since Massah gave a girl a break…..whew
One of the best gifts I ever gave someone was a message in a bottle and I personalized the message and has it delivered to the person. It was sentimental and very personal and I put a lot into the message.
One of the best gifts I ever received was a charm bracelet. I had been going on and on about wanting a charm bracelet and lo and behold he was listening and got it for me. Totally unexpected, moreso since I had been looking at getting it myself. The charms consisted of three different colored sapphires!!

I ain’t saying that he was right, but he wasn’t totally wrong either. Could these people have not walked away of their own free will and moved on.

Menu = Collards, cabbage, beef roast, turkey, black-eyed peas, yams, mac&cheese (scrumptious..LOL), white rice. Dessert = walnut apple pie w/van. ice cream, or peach cobbler (made from scratch).
Dan, I’ve observed a lot in life and the things that people get hung up on has always amazed me. True, everyone doesn’t need to know what goes on behind closed doors, but don’t act like a prude outside those doors turning your nose down to what people are doing behind them. I have a few friends like that. It is what it is and we all have various ways of taking care of that which is natural.

It wasn’t*”what he said” I think it was the context of which he said it.
The woman on match.com said that she merely winked at him and got his initial long winded response. When she read it, she felt that they were not a good match and proceeded to send a “pre-written response” that said basically “no thanks - our personalities are not a match”.
After receiving the “no thank you”, Mr. Fitzgerald went bizerk and wrote another long winded letter….read the entire gawker article from beginning to end HERE.
What was invested?? The two had never had a conversation, never exchanged emails, and he chooses to write a 2 page dossier about his lifestyle…WTF??

Ladies and gents,please be extra careful who you agree to date at work. Good thing is that you know two things about this person. 1. They have a job 2. You find them attractive. While the sound of an office fling seems ok. I say stay the h3ll away. I’m one of the lucky ones, who met her sweetie at the office and we were so discrete about it for at least a year. Finaly a co-worker put the pieces to the puzzle together and corners both he and I in a locked conference room. We’ve been married for three years now. But I’ve seen the best and the worst flings end with some serious drama. Baby mama’s showing up. Women dukin it out and chickens being carted off to the slammer. Be wise about the person you trust with you heart for they may be a humpin dog in disguise or even superhead immulators. Peace!

Ds its on now. I’m gonna need some help collecting this loot and hiding the hotel receipts. You wanna work with me? I’ll cut you in on 10% of the 1st mil and 5% of each mil thereafter. If your in slit your finger and put it on the monitor. LOL Tax breaks, unhappy housewives wanting to “talk” at me, no government interferences, and a horde of hotties calling me Father. This is hot, this is real hot. LOL
Puppettmaster it seems like you’ve been wanting to get that off your chest for awhile. You have anything else you’d like to pass to the group? LMAO

Honey Dew. If all is well between you and your companion by all means I wish you the best of luck! Take it slow and feel him out. I say just don’t do somethin that you will live to regret, or that will leave you not feeling comfortable in your own skin. You only get one life to live. So live a little, love a little, and laugh a lot!

Only reason I even went to his place after was because he wanted to shom me his new crib not to break all the rooms in. If me and you ever grab a bite, remind me to bring a tent so i can sleep out on the front lawn….alone hehehehehe

I have contracted for 10 plus years around different co’s in the ATL. I learned that some co’s actual discourage or prohibit relationships between co-workers (dating, etc). Not to say that peeps follow is mandate. But I have seen some issues get pretty ugly and create much mayhem and distraction, etc. You know they say that “discretion is the better part of valor”. And also it can be said that “familiarity breeds contempt”. Sometimes, it is just best to keep those type of issues outside of the work place-job protection, less office gossip, etc. It just bodes well for the couple in the relationship to not have nosy co-workers involved in personal business.

Oh M’K
I was raised on the Billy Clint model of at work affairs, “deny, deny, deny.” But in the seminar he added “leave no proof”.
That’s pre gettin-it conversation, “if anyone finds out about this, or if I hear any rumors, to your face I will deny you. And I expect you to do the same.”
It adds an us-against-the-world mentality and the sense of mystery and secrecy that y’all women love.

SlimOne: What you say is valid. Some people just do not believe that it can be that way, but it can and is done like that by some. People are different. It all depends on how each individual values self and others.
I spent 4 weeks traveling with man friend and we had to share the same hotel room. We had our own beds and we were not into any intimacy. He covered the expenses and I helped with the business development. I was not his cup of tea nor was he mine. Period.
Not everything has to be about sex with men and women. And some people can share a space (or even a bed)with the member of the opposite gender and sex is not an issue. Believe that!

True dat. Been there and been snapped by it. I was working a contract for a state agency in d’town ATL. One of the sisters that I worked with was having some marital issues and was trying to find a way to kill some time after work. So I let her go with me and hang out in some of my haunts along the strip of P’Tree and Decatur. Well, as per usual, my dudes (familiar and stranger) encountered my presence, enjoyed the conversations and bought the drinks. She had never seen such a response before, I guess. Short of it the next day at work she made it a point to tell all of our co-workers about me and all of my “men”-like I was ho-downing away. The gossip had me sleeping my way around the bars for a simple cocktail and conversation (yeah, right!). And teh women who won’t getting no attention really had a hatin’ field day with that topic.

It’s one thing to speak to someone woman to man about something y’all may have going but don’t lump in ALL Black Men. That statement reeks of statistical ignorance. You haven’t met every Black Man. Even enough to make an informed concensus outside the sphere of people that you run in.
Dig it, I admit to generalizing on her sometimes, but sweeping indictments are uncessary for adults.
So make your points and arguements specific. K?

I was really just joking. It seems a bit selfish for him not to take into account your wishes (especially since you have verbalized them). It would appear that he is giving you gifts for selfish reasons…i.e. having his friends see you in expensive jewelry he bought…

LadyDark Not sure if you were serious or not with that “counseling” footnote, but I suggest both of you read the book The Five Love Languages: How to Communicate Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Dr. Gary Chapman. If counseling is indeed in order, the two of you reading that book together might just save you some time and anguish. With an open mind, he’ll learn to give gifts to you based on YOUR desires, not his.

Sexy Your 3:28 to LadyDark raises a good question, but you can’t presume that her not wearing the jewelry is even noticed by him, because it depends on his motive for giving it to her. The more sincere his motives for buying the jewelry, the more important it will be to him that she wear them. Ideally, he would let her know that. That is, if the lines of communication are healthy. If they aren’t, then neither person would say anything to the other.

Okay here is a goodie…
Wife Sues Husband for Share of Lotto Winnings Kept Secret
After discovering her husband hid his lottery winnings from her, a Florida woman demanded he fork over her share of the lottery jackpot.
Donna Campbell became suspicious of her husband, Arnim Ramdass, when he started to keep the television turned off and disconnected the phone line. Her suspicions rose when she found a postcard about a new home purchase.
But Campbell was unaware that her husband was hiding a $10.2 million secret from her until she Googled her husband’s name and lottery number. She found a Florida lottery press release that named 17 airline mechanics who won the jackpot, her husband was one of them.
”Here’s a guy who for years has spent marital money on the lottery and at casinos, and he’s always lost,” said Bruce Baldwin, Campbell’s attorney. “And now he finally wins, and he’s trying to keep it from his wife. That’s pretty low.”
According to Campbell, when she confronted her husband, he said he bought the ticket for his daughter from another marriage. Ramdass and his co-workers pooled money for twice-weekly Lotto drawings every Wednesday and Friday. On June 20, they collected $220 and hit the jackpot.
The group of mechanics opted for the lump-sum payment of $10.2 million, meaning each of the 17 winners would receive about $600,000 before taxes.
Since the winning, Ramdass took a leave of absence from work, according to his co-workers. He hasn’t shown up at the couple’s home and servers can’t find him to hand him the lawsuit papers.

You cannot sent pictures via text mail only through your email…
The camera is GREAT but there is no video function…
I love the fact that it syncs your contacts with Outlook so you already have all of your emails on your phone….
I love the fact that the screen is large enough to comfortably surf and manipulate the web…

If her not wearing them is an issue for him, then the onus is on him to bring that up to her and perhaps then a two-way dialogue can ensue.
For him to continue spending money on jewelry she’s not wearing and not say anything about it is wimpish, if not downright stupid.

Dareell ur point to LadyDark about not wearing somebody’s gift, thats another reason i am not so into gift giving..people bugging me about the gifts they gave me. One time my wife’s half sister& her boyfriend gave me a wrist watch(it was a collabo,thats how they presented it) I am not so into watches, so i took it and put it in a drawer in my bathroom. And by the way, our relationship was never good,so frosty, thats why i even thought there was an alterior motive. But anyway, because i dont wear that kind of jewelery on me, i did not wear it. And she bugged me about not wearing her watch an would say’Pat, u never wear that watch we gave u, dont u like it’, like each time she would see me. I am classier than that, and if it were me, i would never ask that to the person i gave something from the heart!! Its theirs and they do what evr they want to do with it(except giving it away to somebody)and i would not care. Is there no etiquette in gift giving stuff? JSTFU.

Yes, and specifically about the jewelry. Does he often give you other gifts that do not suit your preferences or is it just this one item?

Atlien thanks for the summary. Never got to talk to someone that had experience with both. In the end all these phones are worlds ahead of past generations. They’re nice to have. BTW, I dropped my treo the second week i had it. It went out, shut down, would not come on. I was glad I had insurance. Truth is tho you could order it (insurance) and make a claim the next day. My treo syncs with outlook also. Thanks for the info.
Nipple, I mean Dimples I’m so sorry woman. I’m a creature of habit. Dimples, Dimples, Dimples.

Bravo chica, now you are talking. Sometimes, it really just does not matter the smaller view can get in the way of the bigger picture. It is fine jewelry sugar for his fine lady ;D. There will always be some type of trade off and sometimes it’s all ok at the end of the day. Have a grateful and blessed holiday.
