Is $20, not enough, just enough or too much to spend on my boyfriend for our 1st christmas together?

miss-info	lets think about it this way ,would you want someone to spend 20 dallors on your gift if yes then go right ahead but if not i personally say that you should at least spend 50.

â™¥Sweet Girlâ™¥	it's cool

Anonymous	That's about the right amount. If he truly loves you, he won't care. You could always ask him and check how much he is spending on you.

philbertpheinstein	It's plenty.

storri64	It depends on what it is if its something he likes then its just right but if its something he doesn't care much about then it could be around $10 but $20 or $25 would be good unless something really expensive like a wedding ring...

Danielle	sounds about prefect.

OleMarbleEyes	This is MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE...not singles and dating. I cannot believe somebody comes to total strangers over a 20 dollar gift. GOOD GRIEF!!!...If you want to spend 10, 20, or 50 bucks just do it and be happy with the decision you make.

wind it up	That's perfect.

sazimme2	what matters most is what you CAN afford, don't spend what you don't have. It's always the thought that should matter. Since he is your boyfriend, he knows what kind of job you have and what you can and can't afford. Let's say you're a doctor, $20 is stingy, but if you are a student (high school or college) $20 is very appropriate.

msapplebottomculo	I think it is enough for 3 months!! Make sure you take that $20 and spread it out on a bunch of little thoughtful gifts he would absolutely love. It will show him how much effort you are willing to put into the relationship if you give him things that show you listen to who he is. It isn't about the gifts anyway really. ENJOY YOUR FIRST CHRISTMAS TOGETHER!! how exciting!

Pooge 2000	It's just enough, don't listen to those who say that it's not enough if you really like him. But on the other hand, saying that it's the thought that counts isn't all too helpful either 'cause you don't want it to look like you don't think that much of him. So, I reccomend giving him some type of gift set to make him feel like he's getting alot. Or give him a home-made sweet treat, like a bag of carmel corn home made and decorated or a box of chocolate covered strawberries. On www.tollhouse.com they have great recipies or on www.foodnetwork.com those types of things are very cheap but seem expensive. hope it helps!

Lady	i thin k 20$ is enough and sometimes its depends on what it is

?	Sounds about right. But more important than the dollar amount, focus on the gift itself. When something pops out at you and you know "that's it!" don't dismiss the thought when you see the price tag reads $13 or $27. I never look at the price first.

Betsy	Just enough.

bigdandsoni	It all depends on what you buy with it. Something simple and sweet. If he is worth anything it will be worth it. Besides you dont want him to think you are trying to buy him

Jaden R	There is no such thing as a good range when you buy a gift for the one you love, it should simply be something that He would love, no matter the price. In this situation, "it's the thought that counts" says it all. If he bought you something like a CD, and you hate the Artist, and he put no thought into it, wouldn't you feel a little "unimportant". So if he likes sports, get him something from his favorite team, or player. If he likes cars, then something like a model of his dream car, or even a book on a favorite subject. Whatever, focus on getting him something he will appreciate. You will end feeling great when he likes what you got him, and you will be appreciated most. Now the trick here is to find that special gift to show him how special he is, (and still keep it under 20 bucks!!...lol) Good luck and Merry Christmas.

who da man?	Perfect

Heffree	if you expect more of him the you should show him that you are willing to do the same. I think that it should be enough as long as he likes the gift. I would not mind a 20 dollar gift from anyone.

fxg x	no because if it is your first chrism as together then you should get him something nice like a ring,locket,heart,or something romantic

MuZzZ	I think it's a reasonable price.

shaclare	Sounds good. I might chat with him as well, just to make sure you're both on the same page. It would be a little crappy if he spent a lot more, or wasn't planning on getting you a gift.

jack w	More than enough. If you're still together next Christmas, splurge.

smoothie	You have to go with your heart with this issue. There is no hard and fast rule of course. It is hard to say, but I think that if you give him a thoughtful gift that you think he will like is more important than putting a monetary value on the gift.

Candy B	I think that it is fine. It is suppose to be the thought that counts, isn't it? If you are still together next christmas, then you can get him something that will really knock his socks off!

MissT	Just enough, because if something happens down the road, then atleast you didn't spend a fortune on christmas.

S L	It all depends how long you've been together and how much you can afford... ideally, it should be "the thought that counts" and not how much you spent... so $20 is fine if you don't have much money and it's something that your bf would take as a personal gesture from you... but if you've been together a long time and you can afford more than $20,then I'd say spend more.

davelibby321	at least 50, come on, you like him or not ?

1540	Spend what you can afford. If $20 is what you can afford then dont feel like you need to spend more.
