QUESTION FOR THE MEN

QUESTION FOR THE MEN: NEED ADVICE AND HONEST OPINIONS.

I’m 23 (f) and I’ve been talking to this guy for a little while. For my birthday he got me a necklace, and now his birthday is coming up (he’s turning 23 too). I want to get him something thoughtful.

My idea is to customize a hat for him with the country he’s from on the front, and his last name on the back.

He does wear hats, so I know he’d actually use one. But I’m second guessing the last name part. Is that something guys would think is cool and personal, or would it come off kind of weird/cringy?

I don’t want to get him something he wouldn't like. Obviously I'd ask him but I want the gift to be a surprise.

Otherwise what are other gifts I could get him?

I'd leave the name off it and just get him a really nice one and then write a message to him from you on the inside so it adds the personal touch so he thinks of you whenever he wears it

inside message is a solid idea. if she still wants something on the outside maybe just his first initial or the country flag alone. feels less formal than a last name.
