did you spend on your significant other's christmas present? or how much would you be willing to spend? i realize this is a hippie forum and I usually dont care about money AT ALL. I have more fun doing things that dont require money. the reason why i ask, is because this is my first xmas buying a present for a serious boyfriend and since we are in a long distance relationship and i was visiting him these past 3 weeks, we bought our presents for each other early. i got him a REALLY nice (and totally awesome) cheech and chong incense burner and some incense and a CD he has been wantin for a really long time but kept forgettin to buy himself (LoL) but yeah, anyways...the gifts added up to roughly $45-50 (including tax) and then he goes and buys me a $100 gift (not including tax) I love the gift but I feel so bad that he spent that much money on me. And I dont want him to think that presents like that will make me happy, cuz Im happy with him (COMPLETELY happy) and i dont need all that material bullshit.
I've spent £10 (including shipping fees due to her living in Canada). I'm not a skintflint though! £8 of that was spent to hire the recording studio on campus for a couple of hours and I wrote and recorded a couple of songs for her, burnt them to a cd and then made a cover on photoshop. Just remember its not how much you spend, its the thought that counts
I bought my man car seat covers and a framed pic of the two of us. I'm gonna make him some mix tapes for in the car cos hes going to drive for six or so hours over christmas and we wont be together. I wanna get him something else too, but I dont know what He prolly wont get me much, hes fair broke atm
I'll admit it, I spent quite a lot this year... in the past I've been better at saving, but this year I felt like going all out. We've already decided, however, that next year we set a limit since I won't be working next summer.
I have a problem with this! No idea how much hes planning to spend on me, and how much it would be appropriate for me to spend. Ive decided perhaps £20 will suffice...although God knows what ill get him:-S Wont be seeing him until boxing day though, so at least i can rush in on christmas eve...or have time to get somethin online Xx
I used to want to "top" my husbands Christmas present to me, but in the past two years we haven't had any money to spend on each other, so we've been present free. It shouldn't matter how much you spend on him, you got him something that he really wanted and that is all that should matter.
naw i didnt wanna top his present, so to say... i just felt bad when i learned he had spent so much on me =/ we're actually savin up to find a place and when i visited he was takin me out lots and buyin me shit and at one point (right before he was boutta get paid) he was flat broke...cuz of ME... i dont ask him to spend money on me, i'd much rather him save up so i can move back n be with him permanently...but sometimes i get the feeling he feels like he HAS to spend lotsa money on me...
I dont really ever think about it I guess, I just go out and get whatever I think he would like...(which is a task in itself..) im sure he wont care how much it was and it wont even be discussed how much it was... And dont feel like you're the reason why he doesnt have money sometimes, he probably likes getting you things, you dont ask for them so dont feel like its your fault..You could always tell him that youd rather him save his money... But I think thats a really nice gift you got him... dont feel bad, one year I got my bf underware and socks..(trust me he needed new ones..) i felt like i was his mom for a split second
I dont have idea what will I (IF I...) buy to him and I need an advice. I dont want to spend too much money. Btw, we are together only for two weeks. Ideas?
ok first off, anastazija, if i were only with a guy for 2 weeks, i would not get him somethin for xmas..maybe a card or somethin but not a pressie... and mystical_shroom, yeah i know ur right, maybe i will tell him not to spend money on me (or rather save more than he spends) and LoL, socks and underwear? haha yeah, i woulda felt like his mom too but i think its better to get someone somethin they NEED.
