reader, anonymous, writes (25 November 2010): To make it personal, you'll need to supply us with more specific info on this guy... what are his interests/hobbies? What's his style?? You should always know your guys' favorites... it's important to understand his Taste.
But some initial guidelines:
1) Guys tend to not appreciate the decorative!!
2) Guys buy their own accoutrements. Do not make the mistake of insulting his sensibility or masculinity with a misplaced jewelery-/grooming-/decorative- related choice.
3) It is more appropriate to invest in gifts when a relationship is more developed (one month is not developed in any case but a whirlwind eloping romance).
4) Consider the remarkable difference there exists between gifts from father to son, brother to brother, sweetheart to sweetheart... if you were planning on a swiss army knife... would that seem the most special choice... considering your Own relationship? Gifts firstly ought to be Special.
Awaiting further detail...
