Tis the season!!

So I’m just looking for Ideas or thoughts.
I’ve been seeing 2 very UTR Korean gals for several years now and I feel like I should be giving some type of gift as we get closer to old St Nick.
Neither celebrates XMas in the traditional sense.
But I’ve always treated them well and they always have reciprocated.

That’s a kind gesture.

How old are the girls? Korean girls in their 20s, 30s and 40s are so different which is why I’m asking.

One is mid 30s has an 8 yo child the other is 40s no kids but is still semi active in managing a spa

For the lady in her mid-30s, I’d get something for her 8-year-old child such as a sweater. Koreans love when you show kind gesture towards their children.

For the lady in her 40s and managing a spa, I would just take her out to dinner. I’m sure she would appreciate getting away from the spa and spending a nice evening over a nice meal with you. Generally speaking, Korean women in their 40s prefer quality time with someone over a material gift.

Perish the thought first comes to mind. Second, you state they don’t celebrate Christmas in a traditional sense, are they starting to now? Thirdly, why wait until a holiday they don’t necessarily observe to gift them? If you feel like doing a nice thing (for you) and take something nice I say don’t wait until it’s a holiday, just do it without having to have any significance other than you felt like it.
There was an old country church, a multi millionaire attended weekly, the church was old and in need of upkeep except that it didn’t have many members and they made due. Each Sunday after service the millionaire would announce “ when I die, this church stands to inherit a very generous gift”. One day the pastor asked the millionaire “do you plan on dying anytime soon” cause we could sure use some funds now”.

The dinner is a great idea as she has hinted on a few occasions about doing something for the day however there’s one complication !
I’m married and don’t know how I’d navigate it.

My married friends would take their dates on dinner dates far away from where they live. But it is a very small world so it is risky.
