Christmas Gift for New Relationship

Greetings everyone! This is my first official post although I have been a frequent visitor of the site for many months now.

So I have recently found myself in a new relationship right before the holidays and was wondering if you guys had any input on what type of gift to get a girl that you've only been seeing/dating for about a month.

A little background, we're both 21. We met through mutual friends and have gone on multiple dates over the past couple of weeks. Our relationship right now is a little bit long distance (2 hours drive) so when we do see each other it is usually over the weekend. I want a gift that doesn't come off as too serious seeing as the relationship is still early.

-Happy Holidays

So, I think spending too much money on jewelry or whatever would be too much too soon. I recommend going for thoughtful. Any that shows you've been paying attention. Has she mentioned a favorite book or movie? Buy her a nice edition. After only dating a month, you don't have a lot to go on. Just show her that you have been listening. Maybe share something of yourself if you can. If she's into games or books, buy her your favorite. It doesn't matter too much if she likes it. You're taking interest in her interest and sharing something about yourself.
