Should I get my friends anything for Christmas?

[MoonFace2]

I have two new guy friends. Should I get them a Christmas mug each for a little Christmas gift? I’m seeing them tomorrow at the Christmas party. Or should I leave it this year?

Hmm, that's a tricky one, girl. Getting your new guy friends a little Christmas gift can be a nice gesture, but you've gotta be careful not to send the wrong message or make them uncomfortable.

I'd say a Christmas mug is a pretty safe, low-key option that won't come across as too personal or romantic. As long as you get them something simple and generic, it's a thoughtful little present that shows you're thinking of them.

Just make sure to keep it casual and avoid anything too flashy or expensive. You don't want them to feel like they need to get you something equally elaborate in return. A simple mug is just a nice little holiday pick-me-up.

The Christmas party is a good opportunity to give them the gifts too, so it doesn't feel too forced or one-on-one. That way it's more of a group thing and not singling either of them out.

The only thing I'd say is to make sure your intentions are clear. Don't want them to get the wrong idea or think there's something more going on. Just let them know you wanted to do a little something for your friends this Christmas.

Overall, I think the mugs could be a nice way to spread a little holiday cheer. But use your best judgment based on how close you are with them and what feels most comfortable. As long as you keep it casual and light, I'm sure they'll appreciate the gesture.

I would say no until they become better friends.

I gave a glass mug to my sister and brother in laws male roommate one year. XFiles had also been filming down the street from them at the time, so was down watching it. I didn't particularly know their roommate but we had similar interests such as liking the show and german shepherds, so kinda sorta. He was alone and stayed in his room.. Which made me think of him. His reaction was from his normal shy mellow to kept coming out and asking me question after question about the filming. My sister "He never does this."

It made me glad to put the effort in. Being remembered is powerful.

I buy things for friends all year long. Just buying at Christmas seems weak.

Keep it very small , but personal , my choice I'd give it for Happy New Year as a preference.

If it's a very new friendship, it may not be necessary.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't.

I've got work friends but we don't buy eachother stuff like that.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes! Good idea

[Danny_dan92]

If you can afford it, go for it
