I'd say within the first year go by the same guidelines you might for a good friend or sibling. Something you think they'll like, that shows you know them, that isn't overly sentimental or expensive. A book or DVD or something is always my go-to.After that first year you should consider talking it out and setting guidelines so that you can feel comfortable to get a little sappy or whatever without embarrassing yourself. These are not rules I followed, but they feel like they'd make sense.
question: My boyfriend doesnt care anymore because I accidently told him all he does is piss me off. But I told him the other day I didn't mean it..did I mess up big time?
i do hand-made gifts, I'm a perfectionist so everything i make works.... oh and u should try having a birthday 4 days before christmas...... most ppl try to comine both together.... note: if u r dating some one with a birthday close to a gift giving holiday DONT COMBINE THE GIFTS!!!! its heartless and makes them feel like crap. U get individual gifts for ur birthday and holiday so they should too.... trust me it does suck
just get them something they liked orrr ASKED for. i always hate it when i ask for something like idk...an ipod...then unwrap the gift to find socks. and as soon as i get upset and regift them to the person next to me, im a bad person. no, bitch. i said i wanted an ipod, not socks. if you want me to smile. get - the - damn - ipod.....
Joe, I don't think these videos are helping me with relationships, in fact, I think they may be hurting more than they are helping. I watched all your videos, but still no boys coming to the yard?
Joe you have not helped me at all, but that's okay because I wasn't planning on giving the guy I'm seeing anything. Although apparently he got me something. Ugh WHYYYYY?
Gifts are a bunch of bullshit. When I broke up with my boyfriend and went to his place to get all my things - he gave back all the gifts I had ever given him... And you know where they ended up? Garage sale. Fuck that shit.
I just bought little things that had to do w/ our relationship. We've been dating for 7 months, so cheap & sweet works wonders, plus anything that brings up good memories is nice :) He took me shopping for my gift. No stress whatsoever :)
Eh. It doesn't tend to be that stressful for me. You just get them something you know they would like, like you do with every other person you buy gifts for. Just don't spend a crazy amount of money.
My exboyfriend didn't get me anything for christmas, whereas I has thought of a nice present and even made cookies for him. The next christmas our relationship was alread half a year over, so not giving anything if that isn't your agreement might be a bad sign for your relationship.
I don't care if it is a big present or if it is well chosen, it is the thought that counts and the good intention!
I never remember what people get me and I generally don't care because I have a box with every personal card and letter that I have ever received. Does that sound lame? Probably. But can you deny that finding a Christmas card from when you were twelve in which your aunt expresses how much she cares about you makes you feel really fucking good?
I love how you managed to make a video in which you did nothing but make a video. No real advice, other than what not to get you for christmas. Great work Joe. :)
a guy who i'm pretty close friends with just told me he liked me. i don't know if i like him back, how can i figure this out and how should i handle this situation?
I hate the stress of giving gifts in a relationship. The best part of being single around the holidays is that I don't have to worry about what to get a boyfriend and how the stress might affect our relationship.
You don't want to talk about 'gift giving presents' in a video? But a gift giving present is the perfect idea!!! Its the present that keeps on giving... gifts...
Hahaha seriously, after you burped and said "ouch", I was wondering why burping would hurt you... I'm glad you found it out of the ordinary too, otherwise I'd be worried about what you consider normal burping behavior
Inside jokes are brilliant in this situation. Get them something personal and inside jokey (that doesn't have to be expensive) and then get some chocolate or something that they will actually want and use as well. That way it's personal, you spend the adequate amount of money and it's something useful as well.
Well hi there, I kinda need your help ! I've been with my boyfriend since less than a week and I spotted him buying a necklace for me, and I really don't know what to buy to him now... As I don't have much money left because I already bought all my X mas presents.
@MoonyHeulyn You've been together less than a week. If he's expecting something big from you, he's a little bit too invested in this relationship given the time you've been together and you might need to talk to him about that. Are you sure the necklace was for you and not for his mum/sister/he was buying a present on behalf of a friend/relative who couldn't be bothered to go all the way to the store and buy it themselves?
Well, some people are impossible to shop for. Some people just honestly tell you what they would like. when that happens fuck the romantic idea of getting them something they wouldn't expect, just get what they asked for! If you know the person, it'll become clear what they would want. If they have a video game system, get them a game! If they love books buy them a frick'n book. If they like to step on puppies, get them a pair of four inch spike heals.
Gift giving generally works best if you just take think about it a long time in advance. That way you can find/buy/plan the perfect thing ages in advance and there's no pressure of running around on Christmas Eve buying people socks.
Obviously doesn't work if you meet someone new two weeks before Christmas - but that's your fault for having a love life.
oooh, no I want to celebrate Chrismahannukanakwanza -_-
and lol @ taking the remote, I soooo would've done the same thing XD
about a present, I'd give something that they can use, preferably if it's a little inside joke
-> for example if (s)he always looses pens or something, I'd give a ridiculous amount of pens and wrap it originally, that way it's funny, cute and practical, doesn't have to cost much, isn't mushy or stereotypical and it can be found everywhere
@tombstonediploma Boys are mutated girls with only 45.5 chromosomes instead of 46. The only things which are universally effective in making men love you are unpleasant but can be viewed all over the internet if you need tips.
Best just to get to know the particular boy you want to make love you.
I gave my boyfriend a really nice set of head phones. He in turn took me out too dinner, a play, and a bar afterward. He totally wins the gift giving, but I know skype with him when he's far away will at least last long term.
wait, I'm sorry, what's wrong with knitting someone a scarf? My sister knitted a scarf for her boss and it looked like it came right out of a Gap ad and she said he loved it!
Gift cards are nice because you don't have to worry about him/her liking one specific item that you give to them. You can just get a gift card from his/her favorite store, and they can pick out whatever they would like. It may not be the most creative idea, but it is heartfelt because it shows that you care about your significant other, and you have kept his/her likes and interests in mind.
I learned nothing from this video. What did I get my boyfriend for Christmas/Birthday (close to same dates)? A set of dinnerware. Why? One, he barely has any dinnerware to begin with, so he could use some more. Two, he really liked this red set of dinnerware he saw while we were shopping on Black Friday, but he did not buy the set because he was afraid to spend money on things for himself. So me buying him the set of dinnerware as a gift was both practical and sentimental.
Honestly at first I was thinking oh giving gifts isn't a big deal at Christmas! Buuuut then I remembered the Christmas where my ex wanted this really really expensive but nice North Face backpack that I couldn't afford, but instead I bought him a way over my budget anyways backpack that he didn't specifically want. And he returned it, and used the cash with his own to buy the backpack he wanted. It was kind of awkward. Just shop in your limits.
I am at a loss as to what to do for my cousin. She has been working for months on my christmas gift and apparently it looks amazing. I have nothing for her and no money. It makes me feel like an ass
@Brittydragon Just think about her and what she would like. Suprise her ok! Just remember a convo you have had and she has probably dropped in with a hint.
Well, I just gave you shit advice but oh well. Fucking Christmas gift giving. Why not just get everyone to exchange 50 dollar bills with each other.
I don't like giving gifts either, I always go through the bargain bin movies and get something like "Frogs", or super croc vs mech dolphin....something like that. One year I got my friend a card that said sorry for your loss over a child. I can no longer do that since she has children now :(
I asked my boyfriend what he wanted. He said to get him something he needs instead of something he wants. So I got him a crock pot today. I never know what I want, but he always gets the most thoughtful gifts for me. He doesn't like me spending money on him, so I never know what to get him.
For Christmas I baked my boyfriend a cake decorated like the cake from Portal (it's so delicious and moist); today I got him a shirt with 'troll face' on the front, and a giant, sparkling pin that reads "VICE QUEEN" (i don't even know).
An ex wrote me a poem for valentines day (barf). Then I borrowed his playstation memory cards then we broke up so I erased them and gave them back to him with the torn up poem.
I like to give gifts that relate to conversations we've had so they are more personal, like if you were talking about how they haven't seen a movie/read a book that you think they would enjoy...get them the dvd/book! It's just about showing that you know them.
A picture frame, but I will make sure to super glue that picture down well so he can't just remove that stunning picture of me and him and replace with a different picture
You should talk about what to do with clingy friends. Is there a nice way to get rid of them besides getting them drunk and dumping them on the side of the road?
Hey Joe! Could you talk about how to flirt? I am TERRIBLE at it. I've gathered staring at someone and whispering "I like your face." is not the correct method.
@heranje Hahaha, I actually would really like to see this one as well. How does one flirt with people whom they'd like to engage in romantic activity with?
I don't think you're that bad at giving advice. And at least you're amusing. Me and my other half agree on an amount of money before hand to spend on each other, and from then I try to just buy nice simple things like a bath bomb set or chocolates. You could also get them something like love coupons - promises for dates, home cooked meals, massages (whatever you're comfortable with actually doing for them), which is sweet.
When this came in my sub box I seriously thought, "Oh, I've been meaning to unsubscribe from answerly." Your video was so fucking funny it changed my mind. Good job!
try getting them something as simple as a shirt from a store like sevenly (NOTSPAM) or some other charity place. they get a shirt, and part of the proceeds go to charity. so its a winwin
This boy at my school bought his girlfriend (who also goes to my school) an iPhone for their 2 month anniversary thingy.......if she breaks up with him what's he gonna do? *rolls eyes*
I'm making my boyfriend a handmade plush of a character from Doctor Who, because he is a giant nerd, and already has everything else I could give him that relates to Doctor Who, unless I like find him a TARDIS or something. Also, it's long distance, so I'm making up for not being able to see him by sending him things that are all romantic and shit. And I'm basically broke, so it cost me like five bucks, plus shipping. It's a win/win here.
He's the best... That thing with remote, I would do the same bro :)

Honestly at first I was thinking oh giving gifts isn't a big deal at Christmas! Buuuut then I remembered the Christmas where my ex wanted this really really expensive but nice North Face backpack that I couldn't afford, but instead I bought him a way over my budget anyways backpack that he didn't specifically want. And he returned it, and used the cash with his own to buy the backpack he wanted. It was kind of awkward. Just shop in your limits.

@Brittydragon Just think about her and what she would like. Suprise her ok! Just remember a convo you have had and she has probably dropped in with a hint.
Well, I just gave you shit advice but oh well. Fucking Christmas gift giving. Why not just get everyone to exchange 50 dollar bills with each other.

I don't like giving gifts either, I always go through the bargain bin movies and get something like "Frogs", or super croc vs mech dolphin....something like that. One year I got my friend a card that said sorry for your loss over a child. I can no longer do that since she has children now :(

I asked my boyfriend what he wanted. He said to get him something he needs instead of something he wants. So I got him a crock pot today. I never know what I want, but he always gets the most thoughtful gifts for me. He doesn't like me spending money on him, so I never know what to get him.

For Christmas I baked my boyfriend a cake decorated like the cake from Portal (it's so delicious and moist); today I got him a shirt with 'troll face' on the front, and a giant, sparkling pin that reads "VICE QUEEN" (i don't even know).
Tomorrow I buy the sexy underwear.

An ex wrote me a poem for valentines day (barf). Then I borrowed his playstation memory cards then we broke up so I erased them and gave them back to him with the torn up poem.

I like to give gifts that relate to conversations we've had so they are more personal, like if you were talking about how they haven't seen a movie/read a book that you think they would enjoy...get them the dvd/book! It's just about showing that you know them.

You should talk about what to do with clingy friends. Is there a nice way to get rid of them besides getting them drunk and dumping them on the side of the road?

Hey Joe! Could you talk about how to flirt? I am TERRIBLE at it. I've gathered staring at someone and whispering "I like your face." is not the correct method.

I don't think you're that bad at giving advice. And at least you're amusing. Me and my other half agree on an amount of money before hand to spend on each other, and from then I try to just buy nice simple things like a bath bomb set or chocolates. You could also get them something like love coupons - promises for dates, home cooked meals, massages (whatever you're comfortable with actually doing for them), which is sweet.

I'm making my boyfriend a handmade plush of a character from Doctor Who, because he is a giant nerd, and already has everything else I could give him that relates to Doctor Who, unless I like find him a TARDIS or something. Also, it's long distance, so I'm making up for not being able to see him by sending him things that are all romantic and shit. And I'm basically broke, so it cost me like five bucks, plus shipping. It's a win/win here.
