Should You Get Your Date a Birthday Gift?

You’ve been seeing your significant other for several days, weeks, or months. It’s that time when they’re adding another year to their life, and you have a serious choice to make. Should you get your date a birthday gift or avoid making such a serious decision for their special day? 

Reasons to Get Your Date a Birthday Gift

Maybe you’re loving or feel committed to your current significant other. There are several reasons why investing in a birthday gift for your date might be an excellent idea, especially if you see more coming out of this relationship.

Some reasons to get your date a birthday gift include the following:

  • You’ve planned a future: You and your date have talked about a future together, and you know they are the one. In that case, a birthday gift would be something special. 
  • You found something special: You found a birthday gift that only fits them, and it would be silly not to purchase it for them.
  • It’s not that serious: A birthday gift is a birthday gift. If you aren’t that attached to gifting, feel free to give with a clear conscience. 

Reasons to Not Get Your Date a Birthday Gift

Of course, there are reasons why a birthday gift is a terrible idea for your date. It’s a decision to consider carefully if the future is up in the air for you and your date.

You shouldn’t give a gift if the following is true:

  • You aren’t that serious: If it’s casual, there’s no need to purchase a gift for your partner.
  • It’s deeply personal: Try to avoid purchasing any gift that’s too personal if you aren’t sure about your future. 
  • You’re breaking up soon: Maybe you plan on breaking up with them soon. In that case, don’t invest in a gift.
