Question's in the title really!
I've been with my bf for 18 months, and last xmas we set a limit of £100 each and the same this year. I actually spent £165 on him last year tho!
This year, I've bought him shoes, a tshirt (tho I might return that) and something for his iPod - all of which come to very nearly £100. I've also bought him quite a few little stocking filler type things. I only ordered the iPod thing today and I think he'd prefer that to the tshirt, hence why the tshirt might be going back.
I know he's bought me a DVD Recorder and a couple of DVDs which adds up to just over £100. As far as I know he won't be buying anything else.
What about everyone else? Just wondered if £100 was an average, or excessive or otherwise!

To me cost doesn't matter with presents, it's the thought and time thats gone into finding things that the other person will get pleasure out of that matters.
That's how I managed to spend £165 last year..
I kept seeing things and thought he'd like it so i got it and before i knew it i'd spent a fortune!
I've spent about £25-30 on my boyfriend, he give me strick intrustions not to spend too much on him, as he knows money is a bit tight at the moment as I have just had to pay me rent for my flat for January and my next student loan payment is not for about 3 weeks.
But I must admit that i think he will still love the presents that i have brought him, as I have put a lot of thought into them and they all have memories attached to them about our first year together.
meh
For free, of course!
Owch! I'll take the phone though
I'm keeping the Ipod nano though
Can't you return some of it?
Win some you lose some! I've got my friends and family around me for christmas, so in the great scheme of things, I couldn't care less!
Well at least you are keeping positive.
Sell the phone on ebay :thumb:
And keep the iPod :yes:
