First Valentine's Day - what to buy him?

[KeiraKnightley2]

Been seeing a guy just over 3 months

I thought, maybe we'll just exchange cards. Then at the weekend he said 'we'll need to make Valentine's plans' and 'ive got you part of your present' (there are parts!?)

Anyway, he seems to be going to some effort and I don't know what to get him.

He likes photography, craft beer, cheese. Can't really just give him beer and cheese though can I 😂 any ideas welcome...

Beer making kit?

No clue what you’d need if bought separately though or if it would be cheaper.

He sounds lovely - to give us a helping hand what sort of thing did he buy you for Christmas ?

Are you seeing him on Valentines Day ?

Yes @BeaLola we are meeting on Valentine's day.

As he likes photography/old photos I was thinking maybe a framed photograph of the place we first met. It's tough with men I find!

@KeiraKnightley2 if you have enough photographs, could you maybe use them for a romantic collage? Or a Valentine's day video even? A framed photo of you two together would be a nice idea, too!

Framed photo idea is way too OTT after three months! Go with the beer and cheese.

@BreakfastAtMimis this is what I'm struggling with - it might be too soon, but on the other hand he said he's got me part 1/2 presents!

If they turn out to be really thoughtful, I don't think beer and cheese will cut it. Maybe I get the beer and cheese but keep the photo gift up my sleeve until after I've seen my gift?!

This should be romantic, not stressful ha ha

Definitely no to the framed photo 🫣

I think this is lovely!

Would he like something towards his photography kit ? Maybe a light ? Or some other adjunct .

I agree framed pictures and such are a bit much for Someone you have known 3 months . Unless it is like an old time friend but you have recently become romantically involved then maybe some old pictures of you guys would be appropriate.

Honestly, I’d be horrified someone got me a Valentine’s Day present, especially in parts, and at the mention of Valentine’s plans, I would have mocked the whole idea. Buy him some interesting cheese if you want to reciprocate. Nothing with photos!

I've just bought his favourite beer plus a wildcard beer I think he might like. And I'll get cheese and a nice card

I've already bought the photo, so I can keep it in my back pocket for now

@OnOtherPlanets ah, he's just trying to be romantic. I'm not going to discourage him on that front so early on!

@susansaucepan he was a friend for.1.5 years before we got together actually

I think that sounds great and interested to hear what he ends up delivering to you

Now you have to let us know what he gets you.
Unfortunately for me Valentines are no more.
I want to relish in your romance.
Good luck.❤️

It's only been 3 months.

Can't really just give him beer and cheese though can I 😂
Yes of course you can. Perfect. Not expensive, consumable.

Sure, let him be romantic. But let him play his cards first! You'll have plenty of opportunity to be romantic on birthdays and valentines if the relationship continues. Just have fun.

@PoppingTomorrow letting him play his cards first sounds like a plan to me! 🙂

I think he just likes to be generous and romantic, so maybe I don't need to feel that pressure

I'll report back!

He's being romantic and that's so adorable!

Can't really just give him beer and cheese though can I
You absolutely can and it would make a very nice gift, just add something more romantic like maybe a framed collage of your pictures (not just yours but you as a couple together...though could be just yours too! 😂) or make a Valentine's themed slideshow with photos and email it to him or write a letter about how amazing these 3 months have been etc.
