Together about 6 months, how much should I spend for his birthday?

My bf is moving out of his parents house soon into an apartment. I dont know exactly what he needs so I asked him if a gift certificate to Target or Walmart is fine and he said yeah. I just dont know how much to spend......
But for my birthday, he got me 2 shirts, a concert ticket (for his favorite band, to go with him) , a cake, and he said he was going to get me spa treatments but that never happened. I'm sure he spent around $50. How much should I spend on him? I basically buy everything when we go places so will I be too cheap if I only spend $50 or $75 for his birthday???

I did that too
Last year I hardly had any money at all. I must've only spent about £10 on his birthday because I just couldn't afford it. So I got a few little knick knacks and made him a cake, did a treasure hunt and we got a video and chinese or something. And it worked out really special because I put time and effort into it rather than just money.
How much you spend totally depends on your budget, if you are rich and him poor then maybe a bit more than he spent, but if you are equal then spend about the same.
A couple of questions though;
- Why do you always buy things when you go out and about?
- Are you still clean?
the cheesy but true line is "its the thought that counts"
When we go out, I buy basically everything because he was in a bad situation with his credit card and he's in major debt now (which he's almost paid it off). On my birthday we went to breakfast and I paid for it. We havent gone out to eat lately because im sick of paying for it and not getting treated out (im not expecting to be treated out every night but once in a while couldnt hurt him). It's an interesting relationship. :crazyeyes
Yes.
Woo! Woo! Yeah! Go you! And so on! Good news indeed, I'm really pleased.
Oh and good luck and all that with your boyfriend.
