What would you buy him ?

[mug2018]

So, I've met a guy online .. he's really nice & very hot. We've met a couple of times & there is definitely some chemistry.
He's due to move into his new house in a couple of weeks & I wanted to buy him a house warming gift.

Nothing boring, something a little bit fun that will make him smile ... but what ?
Any recommendations

Bottle of fizz... I'd feel like that's a definite hint that it's meant to be shared.

It's thoughtful, but breezy.

I wouldn't buy anything, you've met a couple of times and his moving date is a few weeks away, sorry to sound pessimistic but anything can happen in that time, I would just bring yourself and a take away or booze to share.

I agree with previous posters, you've only been seeing him a few weeks so a proper gift probably isn't needed/appropriate. Just take round a nice bottle of fizz when you're invited round and toast the house together.

Actually, if you feel you want to get him a 'proper' present, a set of champagne flutes to accompany the booze might be an idea, particularly if he's a ftb or moving our for the first time, otherwise you might be drinking it out of mugs. I speak from experience!!

Flowers!
Men don't get given flowers often enough

Plant is better than flowers IMO but I would stick to wine and flowers.

@mug2018 If you want something fun I definitely reccomend a toy you could use in the bedroom me my husband bought one and it really helped spice up the bedroom. It will deffo put a smile on his face.

A framed photo of you both?

Just kidding, anything for the house would be OTT and would look like you are trying to mark your territory. Wine should be more than enough

@ProudMommaOfThree .. I like your thinking 😆 .. but not sure I'm that brave this early in the 'relationship'
Fizz sounds good but I can't drink champagne so I think that may fall flat
I also agree flowers for a man are under rated but not sure he's a flowers kinda man (for himself) 😆
...I'm clueless with gifts for guys (even as a gesture) 😣🤣

@AnaViaSalamanca photo 🤣🤣🤣 ..
.. I agree, I don't want something boring or territory marking

Buy him a random ornament and tell him an interesting story about it being a good luck charm sold to you by a mysterious gypsy years ago who said you'd know when the time was right to pass it on and it's brought you lots of luck in love and with money etc so now you'd like to gift it him. And make a really random ornament 😁 more interesting than flowers or alcohol!

An avocado cutter. Most useful thing in my house and it's weird but if he eats avocado it will become a prize possession.

Wait until you are out somewhere together and get him something. Just say I'd like to get you something and see what he needs. You don't know him well enough to know his personal tastes.

A card and a takeaway or wine/something you can drink.

Nothing more. He's an acquaintance. Anything more screams 'I'm really really keen on you, you don't need to make any effort with me.' This especially applies to anything personal or that looks like you have gone to a lot of effort.

The message to give at the start is 'I like you and am enjoying getting to know you, but you are not a massively important part of my life'. And it should be the truth.

Booze to be shared.

Anything else is imposing your tastes on someone you barely know.
