Christmas Ideas for Ex

[h_b_k_02]

Anyone, for those of us still in contact with our exes?

 

Do we go all out and splurge, or do we play it safe?

2b honest, id probably get mine a bottle of vodka w. some pills attached. but..hey..thats just me =)

 

i DO have another ex that ive kept in contact w. we're pretty close. but out of respect 4 his gf, all i get him is a card. i guess it depends on a lot of variables

If you are broken up, don't go overboard.

 

Something small and thoughtful would probably be OK, if you are still on good terms and feel they wouldn't feel threatened or upset by your gesture.

Get them something relatively inexpensive for xmas whatever it may be. You are not obligated to them anymore, so splurging would be a bad idea. Spend the money on yourself or a date instead.

Getting his something outrageous will seem like you are trying to win him back (but in a desperate way). Something small and nice, like a card or a favorite movie, will be a good idea. I know you feel probably still feel fond of this person whom you were close to. But if you over do it, it will send the wrong message out. Or you can do something more constructive with the rest of the money you would have NORMALLY spent on him, do a good deed and make a donation for christmas. The world is in a time of need and you will feel proud of yourself as well

This is what I would do if I was still in love with them/ wanting to be together again.

 

I would wait for a card first, only then send a card back. Don't go overboard, with a card you're making a small gesture of a few words wishing them the best without putting your heart on the chopping board...again!

 

However if you are in a relationship and over them most people wouldn't bother! Unless you are one of that small group who has remained great friends. Don't know what those peeps do as Ive never been there!

 

Whatever the set up, also take in mind if they may have a partner and think how it will make them feel. How would you feel if your GF/BF was getting gifts from their recent ex?

 

Tricky, just spend it on yourself! grin!!

Send him/her something inexpensive, but only someone who knows him/her would know to pick out.

My ex and I are going to try the whole friends thing, but I'm probably not going to get him anything for Christmas. If you feel the need to, however, opt for a gift that is small, cheap, and friendly.

Yea.. to many variables.

 

1) Awkward being with each other - a card

2) Still close friends - yup, gift for sure

 

Get the idea? The closer you still are or would like to be, the more significant the gift should be.

 

Try that.
