Is it ok to give a guy something (a gift or make him present to be precise) for Valentine's day if you've only been dating for less than 2 months?
Sincerely,
Loving in Los Angeles
Dear Loving,
You are officially in Gift Limbo. Gift Limbo is when an important day that under normal circumstances would warrant gifting giving but since you a) haven't been dating for a significant amount of time or b)your status as a couple is "complicated" it is unclear whether giving a gift would seem appropriate. It's hard when you want to show someone that you care, but only just kind of. And I feel that Valentines day is especially tricky. Too much and you look like you've already picked out the colors for your wedding, but too little and you're boo for sure will have a stink face like "oh is this all I'm worth?" That's why you should give the No Fail Gift: A single Flower.
A single flower is perfect because it can be tailored to fit everyone's taste (just find out what they're favorite flower is), is appropriate for all occasions from birthdays to funerals and it shows that you care...enough. So this Valentines Day when he picks you up, hand him that single long stem red rose and watch him melt a bit as you enjoy the feeling of getting out of gift limbo. Happy Dating!

This seems like a recession-proof gift idea, as well as eco-friendly. It's just the right amount of "thoughtfulness" from one individual to another. However, first, I would make sure the recipient isn't allergic to flowers!
