 Gift giving, especially to a new bf is very stressful. You don't know what to get and if you get the wrong thing he could get a wrong message.
I have found that the best gift is the thoughtful and heartfelt kind. I know that sounds cliche, but it's the truth. I could spend all sorts of money on my bf and he wouldn't like it unless I put some thought into what I was getting him.
Just let him know that you care about him and that you're thinking about him should be enough for him. Just don't go too crazy. Think, a card or a gift certificate to his favorite store. Do something that he likes to do for the day that you don't usually like to do.

Annalisa, why in the world do you think boys don't like fluffy cuddly toys?!
Fullofsurprises90,
I don't know about your boyfriend, but I'd just love to have a girlfriend sit with me holding my hand watching the sea together, and feeling one with me all the time. Probably give me a soft kiss on my cheek at the end of it. That's all. And yeah the cuddly toy would be really really cool.
But again, probably your boyfriend isn't the type to write poems or like cuddly toys, so... you're most probably going to have to do some accurate guesswork Miss!
Wishing you a happy valentine's day!
Cheers!
Best,

Hi there. One month is not very long, so you don't want to go spending big money on him just yet, as it could well send the wrong message to him.
To spend a lot of money ($50-$100), could say to a man in a new relationship, that you want to get serious (marriage, mortgage, kids, the works), which could scare him away. Or at least, might cause him to backpeddle a bit and withdraw from you and cool off a bit. You don't want that.
If on the other hand, you said you had been going out for a year or more, well then you might want to spend a little bit of money, but certainly not so early in a relationship.
Most times, it's usually the man who woos the girl - flowers, chocolates, dinner at a nice restaurant as well. But it is the man who does this - not the woman.
You really can't go wrong by choosing a lovely Valentine's Day card that says all that you are feeling and that is appropriate to how you feel and your relationship as well. Cards can say so much.
But in choosing and buying a Valentine's Day card, again be very cautious about what sort of verse is inside the card. Whatever you do, don't buy a card that swears your undying love. He might just head for the hills!
He might even think that you have already booked the wedding!
It's really up to you, but just don't buy one of those really tear jerker cards or ones that are obviously for couples who are much further into the relationship than you are (1 year or more). But look, I think you know what I mean by this. There are many very nice cards out there, light hearted ones, funny ones, serious, and very serious cards.
So the bottom line really is, look at a lot of cards to see what you think and if they are appropriate or not to you. Another thing is don't leave it till the last minute - go looking for a lovely card about now. That way, you will have the whole range to choose from. You have about 10 days to go!
Good luck and enjoy choosing. Enjoy your Valentine's Day!

 If he plays video games, get him a gift certificate or find out which games he likes in a sly manner. Any GF that has given me the gift of video games instantly won 1000 points in my book! As a selfish perk (let's face it: V-day if for the ladies) when he's playing video games, he isn't getting into trouble.
If he's more into sports or books, go with a gift certificate from a sporting goods or book store. -He will slightly love you forever for it.

 Don't panic, its nothing to worry about.
Since you've been together for such a short time it doesn't have to be big. Most guys like sports, so a little something to do with that might be nice. If not then a piece of jewellery, like a pendant or a ring.
It really doesn't matter what you get, just as long as it comes from your heart.
I know he'll love what ever you get him.
All the best, Dataluke
