Not that she has to clean, but we are at the points where gifts are based on needs.” He says “I think that I would get her a vacuum cleaner, but mainly because my fiancé is extremely neat, but if I were to do that it would be very high end. I think this also comes with a certain level of comfort in the relationship.” “Just as I would appreciate a new grill, or something similar, I think a woman could equally enjoy a new appliance she has had her eye on. “I do think it makes sense in certain situations,” says Bobby. It’s true that men generally do not get favorable responses from their girlfriends if they get them a cleaning appliance. But should this type of gift always be dismissed as thoughtless? Most men don’t think so. Useful ThingsĪfter thirty years of marriage, my dad’s only guideline for purchasing a Christmas gift for my mother is to “never buy anything that needs to be plugged in,” and many women might agree that something practical does not spell romance. “The night should end with her knowing 'why' she received what she did,” says Bobby,” and not simply walk away with a new piece of jewelry.”īlame these unrealistic expectations on all the jewelry advertisements on television during the holiday season, not on your boyfriend. We may do a gathering with the contract workers, I would cook and provide soft drinks for them and their family.That being said, the guys agree that it would be nice for a guy to give some sort of explanation with his gift of jewelry.
HOW MUCH IS ON MY GIFT CARD FIVE GUYS PRO
The handyman gets an extra month salary, pro rated for the months he worked here, by law. They always come super late, around 7pm, after a very long day and get my 5 gallon tank down to the house and into the kitchen. I may give a tip to the guys who deliver our potable water. I would always buy very practical gifts like these that are always handy. Unless the colleague is also a friend, I don’t do gifts, but expect a bonus from my boss, or a token of appreciation like a case of wine, or more wine. I ended up with stuff I didn’t need and had to spend money on people I didn’t like. How much do you spend on colleagues and employees? Pets most certainly don’t need gifts, so if I had one I wouldn’t spend money on it. My teenage brother is getting clothes and we are doing a common present with my sister for my mum, probably tickets to a musical or something. This year I sent my niece a letter from Santa from Finland (I asked Santa when I visited this summer to write to my niece), and a little package from Guatemala with handicrafts. And I try to give them things they will remembers, which don’t have to be expensive. I have a limited list of recipients, mother, siblings, niece and BF. How much do you spend on family and friends? This year’s coffee machine falls into that category. I first was annoyed when I got practical stuff from my boyfriends, but have to admit that I do use those things every day and wouldn’t like to have useless stuff around. It took me time to select the pictures and have them printed and glued, and cost around $30. He uses the agenda every day or so, and loved it. Last year, I made a custom agenda for my BF, with pictures of our motorcycle trip through the US every 10 days. My second favorite gift is something personal. But you could prepare a nice date at home and spend less than $30. A weekend away will set you back $300 easily. If you have a man that doesn’t need anything, and only has expensive tech gadget on his wish list, you can try experiences too. I don’t have to regret buying him stuff if we don’t last, and memories are worth the money anytime in my books. Taking him to a concert or on a romantic excursion is nice for both of us. And yes, a guy should be paying for the first couple of dates. I usually stick to experiences like meet and greet tickets, because the guy should have been paying for a few dates, and I can even things out. I am always afraid when starting a relationship, to overdo it. I saw a few posts with cold calculations factoring the time you have been together multiplied by how much you expect him to spend on you, divided by the degree of involvement that you have in the relationship… To keep it short, it’s complicated. How much do you spend on your other half? If you feel like it, you can reply too in the comments or a post on your blog! Anyway, I thought I’d answer three questions, with my usual Christmas spending.
