Chocolate
One of the best first date gifts is chocolate. You can never stop craving a chocolate bar, no matter what age category you fall into. Buy a small box of chocolates for your new guy. Just avoid buying cheap chocolate from your corner stores as it will backfire in a major way and ruin your first impression.

Wine
Wine is a classic present for all kinds of occasions and it can be an outstanding gift for your first date. Don’t go too strong on the first day. Instead of getting the red wine, go for the white one and keep your date modest. Whatever wine you buy, make sure it’s a bit expensive.
Selecting the perfect white wine showcases thoughtfulness and sophistication without overwhelming your date. Chardonnay, for instance, is an elegant choice that pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods, should your date involve a meal. A Sauvignon Blanc, with its crisp and refreshing taste, is another delightful option, offering a lighter touch that's bound to impress without appearing too presumptuous. Remember to opt for a bottle that reflects a touch of luxury to convey your esteem for the occasion, all while keeping it subtle and genuine.

Personalized Gifts
You can impress your partner on your first date just by showing how much you care about the guy and that you are considerate of his likes and dislikes. Get a small and simple gift that reflects your partner’s interests or references or anything that he has mentioned before.
Personalized gifts are a great way to make a first date even more special. They show that you have taken the time to get to know your partner and have put thought into the gift. Some ideas for personalized gifts could be a custom-made piece of jewelry, a framed photo of the two of you, or a personalized item with their name or initials on it. This small gesture can go a long way in making your partner feel appreciated and cared for. Just make sure to keep the gift simple and not too extravagant, as it is still your first date and you don't want to come on too strong.

Books
A book is a great way to show him your intellectual side and it can appear as a positive sign to your partner that you’ll both be enjoying enthusiastic conversations. Make sure the book is small and easy to carry. Avoid books on politics, literature or anything controversial.
Selecting non-fiction titles, like self-help, hobby-based or travel books can spark fun discussions about common interests or future adventures you might want to share. A poetry book or a collection of short stories can keep the mood light and provide ample fodder for conversation without the level of commitment required by a novel. Remember, the goal is to connect, so choose a book that's engaging, perhaps one that reflects the positive aspects of your own personality or hints at your adventurous spirit without overwhelming your date.

Pay for Dinner
Taking gifts on your first date may be unappealing to you, but you may still impress him by being slightly unconventional. Generally, the man is expected to pay for dinner on the first date and on many more dates to come, and he is aware of it. Get a leg up and offer to pay your part of the check as soon as it arrives.
The first date is like taking a baby step into a relationship as couples just begin to know each other. So, it’s important you start off in an impressive way. Try these gift ideas. If you wish, you may add your creativity to make your gift stand out. Just keep in mind, it should be simple and have a lasting value so that it’s always cherished by your partner.
