He's your crush and you want to make the first move

When it comes to shopping for the holidays, why is the man in your life (or of the hour) always the most difficult? You want your gift to send exactly the right message -- and that's totally different if you’ve been together for two years than if you’ve had two dates. We get it. Here’s what to get him, based your relationship stage.

Your Strategy: When he’s just a crush, a holiday gift is probably a don’t. But in the spirit of the season (and for an excuse to talk to him), About.com dating expert Bonny Albo recommends something inexpensive and fun that will make him laugh. For a unique and memorable experience, buy your crush miracle berry tablets, which reverse the taste of whatever you’re eating (bitter to sweet, sweet to strangely unfamiliar) with a bag of mixed candies and then try them out together. He’ll associate you with a fun, creative experience -- oh, and he’ll be thinking of you when he has something in his mouth. Just sayin’!
