Finding an appropriate gift for your partner at different stages within your relationship can be challenging. With this in mind, here are five great gift ideas that will inspire you whether you have only been dating a year or ten years.

Gift  Budget for Boyfriend, Just Dating, Long term boyfriend, Fiancee and Just Marrieds

 

Just Dating £20-£30

If you have only been dating a couple of months, it is important that you put a limited budget in place. This will them prevent you from over thinking it and opting for an extravagant gift in a panic. Spend between £20 and £30 and this will limit your options making the choice easier instantly. Keep it casual and light-hearted. Avoid an overly personal gift such as jewellery and clothing and opt for his favourite CD or DIY love coupons.

One Year £40-£50

If you’ve past the one year milestone, you will want to choose a gift that shows how well you know your partner. Surprise him with concert tickets to see his favourite band and treat him to a bite to eat on the way.

Two Years or More £50-£100

If you have been with your partner for two years or more, you may have exhausted all of the clichéd gifts such as books, gift cards and DVDs and be looking for something a bit more special. Treat your partner to a weekend away in the countryside or help him tick an item off his bucket list. If he has always wanted to go Zorbing, Go Karting or Clay Pigeon Shooting, now is your chance to make his dreams come true.

Engaged £100-£250

If you have been together a few years, you have the advantage of knowing your partner, so don’t be afraid to get him something practical. Get him the hedge trimmer he’s had his eye on or buy him the BBQ he’s always wanted. If his favourite slippers have worn out, replace them or treat him to a cookery course to hone those chef skills he’s always boasting about.

Just Married £250-£400

If you are looking for a gift for your husband, you have more freedom as you already know his likes and dislikes well. Opt for something personal such as a watch that boasts a hidden engraving or a timeless Signet ring from somewhere like Rebus Ltd.

So, there you have it, five gift ideas for the different stages of your relationship.
