My friend has been dating this new guy for just about a month. She met him online and they are not exactly an exclusiv couple as they are both on the website where they met and still talk to other people. They have gone out together several times and she really enjoys his company and he enjoys hers too and seems to really like her. She asked me if she should buy him a Christmas gift and what kind of gift she should purchase. I told her that I think it was too soon to buy a gift for him, what should she do?

Hmmm...If she really likes him and he likes her, it should be okay to get him something "thoughtful" that is inexpensive; just a little something that shows she was thinking of him this holiday season. By this gesture, I mean, a book (if he is an avid reader) or ornament (if he celebrates and has a tree) - something that is thoughtful and shows common friendship.
I think it would nice since they've gone out several times and the season is upon us. If it were Valentine's Day, I'd say no, that it would then be inappropriate due to the course of that particular occasion.

I don't think it's too soon to buy a little gift...I wouldn't spend anymore than $10 or so though. Maybe a wireless mouse, keyboard or something on sale at Circuit City. She needs to understand that he probably won't buy her anything though.
Incidently, I met my hubby online and we're happily married.

it really depends on her, and their relationship. I, personally, am a very giving person. If I like someone then I tend to do little things like pick up their fave candy bar when I'm in line at the grocery store, or something like that. I think that if she wants to get him something then it should just be something small... maybe a CD or cheap movie that he wants. Maybe something that pertains to a little inside joke that they have. I wouldn't spend a lot of money but it would still be a nice gesture. :)

If they're not exclusive there's no reason she should feel she needs to buy him a Christmas present - especially if they're still actively playing the field and neither of them has taken their personal down yet. They are clearly not serious enough yet for her to get him a present if they're both "still looking". I met my boyfriend online and we both had our personals down within a week of meeting each other, so I know a bit about this.

Maybe she should give a small gift just to show that she cares for him

if she really likes him and they are spending time together, buy a gift.....something nice but inexpensive...a scarf, a book that he might like, if he has a hobby then something for that....not too much money and not too personal...it's the thought that counts....

A small, inexpensive, impersonal gift would be fine.
Or a gag gift, if that's what floats their boats.
