What is a good neutral Christmas present for a man that I like a lot but have only been dating for 3 months? Do I need to talk to him about whether or not we will be exchanging gifts?

No - dont talk to him about it - make it a surprise
Don't bring it up; it is much better if it is spontaneous and indicated you have a positive feeling for him. The gift should not be so lavish as to seem intimidating or too pushy. I would suggest some non-threatening or overpowering gift such as a scarf, gloves or handkerchiefs. You could also send him two tickets for a play or concert. Good luck for a good beginning.
It really depends on how the relationship going and what kind of things the two of you like and how intimate you are. I understand the dilemma, bringing something too big puts pressure on the relationship, something too small will make it seem like you don't care enough and so on.
I think that making an issue and talking about it will make things even worst - it'll make it seem that you expect a gift, which is somewhat greedy and also puts pressure on the relationship. Some people hate giving or receiving gifts, that doesn't mean they don't care, it just means they have other way to express their love and that's fine.
My suggestion - instead of giving something that they are supposed to enjoy alone and also is measured by money value, give something that the two of you can enjoy together. an experience that the two of you can share and would create a special Christmas memory for the two of you.
Like - concert tickets, a dinner in a fancy restaurant, a dinner that you cook for the two of you, ice skating ring tickets, a picnic (if its' not too cold over there), a massage or a day in the spa for the two of you, a cooking class, museum passes. A lot of stuff like that if free (author reading in a book store, Gallery visit, sitting on santa's lap at the mall...) it's not so much about money, but about doing something the two of you never did before together.
Christmas is all about spirit. Why do you need t start thinking about giving. There is a guy you like you feel like giving him a present go for it. If you do any good in this world you will probably receive it back. Take him out for a fun day just the two of you. Start with a bit of skating, good lunch , bowling and some hot coco near the fireplace if you are up to it some love can always do the trick believe me it's the best present you can get for Christmas. Not expensive but really joyful for the two of you.

I have been dating a guy for a little over a month. On the first date, we spoke about an 80's tv show that he loved. So, Im getting him a DVD of that show for Christmas. I am not sure yet whether to let him know I have something for him. I dont expect anything in return, but dont want to make him feel uncomfortable when I give him a present if he doesnt have one for me....
Some alcohols are nice to give. It's something you can both enjoy or he can keep it for a rainy day. Maybe Starbucks Coffee Cream Liquor (in the white bottle) or a nice brandy or cognac.
ok first of all dont ask him that question and secondly u should get him stuff that he`s into or how much the relationship means..how close u are n how u guys comminicate .a nice colone will be nice or maybe even a watch.
