You’ve recently started seeing someone new. It’s going somewhere, you’re not sure where, but you’re hoping it’s the right direction.
As Christmas approaches, you’re questioning if you should get this guy a gift, and if so, what do you get for him?
You want to impress, but you’re not at the stage of romantic breaks away and matching Michael Kors watches just yet.
While you don’t have the relationship title, it can be difficult to decide how much to spend on him.
Fear not, Goss.ie have pulled together a gift guide especially for you!
Concert tickets
We’re not telling you to head out and buy two tickets for Electric Picnic next year – that is a huge money and time commitment.
But, two tickets to a band they love? It shows you listen to what they say, and it makes for a perfect date night.
You know, if they bring you and not their mate.
EA Access
If your half-boyfriend is an avid gamer, EA Access is the perfect gift.
The subscription service which works on both Xbox and Playstation gives users access to play all of EA’s games such as FIFA, Battlefield and The Sims.
Access also allows users early access to trials of brand new games.
You can buy it online here.
Cook Book
For the budding chef, a cookbook is always a great option.
One like this is perfect for a single man (or woman), while also giving him a hint that you’d like him to cook you up a storm.
Available from Easons now for €28.
Food Voucher
For the not-so-budding chef, you can always opt for a food voucher.
While we’d eat your hand off for a free Boojum, we don’t doubt any man with a hearty appetite would do so too.
While typically, a voucher is considered unthoughtful, a food voucher says ‘Hey I know what you like’, without too much commitment.
Reusable Utensils
He’s a sweet guy, who cares about the environment, and that’s why you’re weak for him.
A set of reusable utensils is a perfect gift.
It shows you care, it’s inexpensive, and it’s obviously a really eco option.
This set is available from Amazon.
A Distillery Tour
Whether he’s a fan of Beer or Whiskey, or both, there are a few distilleries around that offer tours to chose from.
Tickets for a distillery tour is prime time for a cute date doing something a bit different.
There’s the obvious one in the Guinness factory, while Jameson, Teelings and Tullamore Dew offer tours of their Whiskey Distilleries in Dublin.
Or there is always the scenic Slane Whiskey tour in the gorgeous Meath.
A record
Most of these hip young things have a record player, and if your bae has one, why not get him a copy of his favourite album on vinyl?
As a gift option, once again is thoughtful without a huge price tag.
Make it even more romantic by getting the music of an artist you both have a vested interest in.
Happy shopping!
