I am assuming you have a lot of disposable income, or you are a hell of a bargain hunter, because you haven't been buying cheap.
I don't know how much a gucci bag costs, but I imagine you wouldn't have mentioned it unles it was reasonably exensive?
Usually the rule of thumb is: You can always spend more, but can never go cheaper, because she
will will notice.
In the past, when I am dating, I have a habit of buying fairly frequent "just thinking of you gifts." You would think that would deserve an awwwww. . .
Well then a major holiday came around I gave her a reasonable gift, but she was actually upset that she didn't get more.
I think her brother may have told me that she expected more, especially considering that I would giver her nice gifts for no reason (although not on the Tiffany Necklace level).
She actually spent more than I did at that holiday. Which annoyed her
.
Although she wasn't the random gift giver except for seemingly unending stream of HallMark cards . . .
I have owed HallMark a lot over the years, it has allowed several girls to tell me how they feel using the heartfelt words of someone else.
Someone who is probably an over-the-hill relationship failure. Is HallMark an emotional middleman in your relationship? There is a Support Group I think . . .
But alas, I digress.
The summary lesson that I learned is you can't start buying less expensive presents, especially for a person (woman) that venerates holidays. It just goes over about as well as verbally attacking her mom (a bad idea even if
she hates her).
So you have ruined the whole Cutesy-Romantic-Present option for yourself early in your relationship, unless its a Cutesy-Romantic-Present with a large price tag, like a dinner at a romantic but expensive restaurant.
So ladies . . . what would be a nice classy present for a girl that expects something on the level of a Tiffaany Necklace?
