Rules / Do's & Don'ts around present buying for GF

[wonderer]

Hi,

Are there any do's/dont's for present buying?

Been with my GF for 4 months now, never really bought her a gift or anything. But its Xmas now and shes been talking about how much shes been thinking about gifts for me etc.

How do I play this? I don't know how much shes spending on me. I know I shouldn't shower her with lots of expensive gifts.

Our relationship is going well, however I'm not besotted by her, and have kept myself very very detached to the point where I don't really care.

Thanks

The only time you give her gifts (nothing too expensive) is when she earns it. You give it to her as a reward or treat. Whether it's good behavior, loyalty, knowing her place and role, etc...

You never get her gifts to win her affection, love and approval.

Good buy her nice parfume for 15-35 $/€ or take her out to the cinema or a restaurant where you can spend max 50$ on you both and pay... Then take her home and f8ck her good

Don't overthink this any little gift is good just don't make it expensive above 50$ is nonsense

OP, it's hard to make suggestions from the distance. You know your lady best. Maybe try to avoid the obvious things (underwear, perfume, body lotions, crap to put on the mantelpiece) and come up w/ something that fits her personality, taste and activities. If you try to do this, she will instantly recognize your honest effort, even if you don't hit bull's eye with your present. I would say that women care less about the price tag and more about the symbolic value. Thinking about her, trying to figure her out = bonus points. Any moron can go out and blow $$$ or £££ on their lady, but it takes a DJ to think before he spends. Good luck.

Be creative and personal. Example: My GF is a huge Tom Petty fan. I was hunting around for memorabilia and found a bracelet made from guitar strings he played on tour. Bonus: 100% of the sales proceeds go to an animal shelter charity and she is a dog lover. She will never know how much it cost or even care. She'll get wet for me every time she puts it on!

Thanks for the advice!

My gf went to an SEC college and is a big fan of their football team, so I always get her something with their name, logo, or colors.

I'll also usually get her something sexy to wear, but I think of that as a gift for myself as well. I'm a fan of the clearance rack at http://www.snaz75.com/

Nothing needed to be added on this.
