Present predicament: You haven't been seeing your gentleman caller for very long, when the holidays roll around. No one wants to mess up that first exchange of gifts, especially with someone they spend a ton of time with -- and really like. The best approach is to start by figuring out a price point you're comfortable with based on your situation (both financial and degree of romantic seriousness), and then get him something that shows you know his personality.
And when in doubt, go for something fun and playful -- after all, he is a guy.
