13 Thoughtful Birthday Gift Ideas For An Unofficial Relationship
Are you in the early stages of dating and his birthday is coming up?! Finding a birthday gift for unofficial relationship can be hard!
You want something nice but not serious. Fun but also useful and practical.
Plus, should you even be getting him anything?! Is it too early?!
This is hard to answer without knowing your situation. If you’ve only been on one or two dates, then no, I wouldn’t get him anything.
If you’ve been casually dating for a month and things are getting serious, I would get him a little something-something. Nothing too serious! Maybe a $20 or $30 limit or simply a bottle of wine and a cute card.
Trust your gut here and go through this list to see if anything stands out to you or gives youan idea of what to get him.
If you are unsure what to buy because the two of you haven’t made it official and you don’t want to buy him something over the top that scares him off, but you also want to get him something to show that you do like him.
To help you out a little, here are some birthday gifts for an unofficial relationship that he’ll love….
