Hi Miss April,

A few months ago i got a new friend, one of my clients at work. A smart engineer, in his fourties. He gives you a serious first impression but as you get to know him, you soon realise he is a fun, social seeetheart. He’s preety cool and i am crazy about his friend.

so recently we met after holidays and he gives me a gift, “just a christmas gift” (he describes) actually a misunderstanding because my colleague/best friend at work got him a present and he thought it was me when i cleared things… was too late, he had given me the gift already… A beautiful enormous heart which he bought back home and very well packed.

heartwarming, i hardly get gifts 🙁

Now afcourse i have to give something in return… no surprise here, i dont know what to give.

so i remembered i have this really cool electronic cigar with nice flavours to go along.(no tobacco!)

and i went to ask him. our convo

Do you smoke? he replied no.
me: Because you can’t or you dont want to? He says: just never been curious, i smoke yes but not tobacco,why?He asks. I said: Because i have something really nice i want you to try. That def made him curious. he kept asking about it all day long 😀 but i never gave him in time because he travelled.

He is coming back soon and now i have to choose, i either give him the electronic cigar or a pen (that might be expensive)

my friends say an electronic cigar is not an appropriate gift for a non smoker but i keep on insisting with this because it will save me less i dont have to buy it 🙂 and I dont think the electronic cigar will hook him up but i also dont want to look like someone who offers things that can be addictive. electronic cigarette is safe for me atleast. Oh and I also want to make an awesome impression in his friend with the gift afcourse 🙂

Ok my dear miss salvation, will you help me decide please ? whats your view with the electronic cigar ? if its a no then any other ideas …

regards,

yournumberonefan xoxo

I’m kind of in the same situation right now, so reading this thread definitely made me feel seen. 😅
Sometimes a simple Christmas gift turns into a whole emotional puzzle you never asked for.

Your guy gave you a huge heart-shaped gift “by accident”… meanwhile you’re stressing over whether an electronic cigar makes you look thoughtful or like you’re trying to turn him into a vaping influencer.
I get it — gifts are tricky, especially when you want to make a good impression on him AND his friend (I see what you did there.

Honestly, the electronic cigar sounds fun, but since he’s not a smoker, it could come across as… confusing.
A pen is safe — maybe too safe.
And gifts that are too “neutral” can make you look like his accountant instead of someone he should be curious about.

April
When someone gives you a really thoughtful holiday gift, but the relationship isn’t clearly defined yet — what’s the right kind of Christmas gift to give back?
Something practical?
Something personal?
Or something small so it doesn’t send the wrong message?

Because I swear, Christmas gift-giving feels like a relationship IQ test — and I’m trying not to fail it.
