You don't get a second chance to make a first impression, and neither does the first gift you give a significant other.

Every year, once we get past Thanksgiving and Black-Eye Friday and the Christmas Shopping Season It’s a trickier question than you’d think.

Once again, ‘tis the season for your annual quest to find the perfect Christmas gift for important people in your life.

At the best of times, gift-giving can be a strange and stressful mixture of obligation and a genuine desire to show appreciation for the relationship.

Suddenly you have a whole new set of things to consider as you shop, beginning with: “Should I give a gift at all? Should I give something special, to show my growing feelings?

Or something ordinary to send the message I’m not moving too fast?
