Ive been with my bf for 6 months, i know he wants an ipod for xmas with the stand. Do you think £250 is too much to spend on him as we have only been together 6 months?

Depends on how flush you are! Don't go into any debt for it. Just spend what you can sensibly afford. You can get very decent MP3 players for far less than that! I've been married for 5 years. Cashflow is a bit poor at the moment. My hubbie and I are going to spend around £30 on each other to keep the general cost of Christmas down. He won't think any less of you if you spend less.

No problem you can gift him, but I have some points you should think that £250 amount is too big for you or very small, means are you really sacrificing this money. If this is just to please him and to develop a better relationship, then don't buy him expensive gift. You can save this money for some other ocassion, when he is in some trouble or in financially crisis. You have to decide yourself. Being together for 6 months or 6 days or whole life also is less to know the bonding of relationship. This increases day by day without full stop anywhere.

yeah. You dont say how old you are but if you are younger than 20 I would say yes. I think 20 - 26 year olds spend quite a lot on there loved ones over christmas for example my girlfriend bought me a Ferrari day last year for £300 but we have been together for 6 years. If he is putting the demands what he wants then you do the same and ask for something of the same value. Even if you dont want it at least if he takes his ipod and runs then you have something of the same value that you want or if not sell for not a lot less. Good luck. Dont buy a ipod from your big chain electric shops but look on the internet for good deals. www.amazon.com is always a good place to price match. Dont buy from small cheap sites though cuz you probly wont see it but will see your money vanish and then your boyfriend wont be getting much.

YES!
I had a girlfriend for 6 moths and then Christmas came around i spend $30 on her she spend $300 on me I was embarrassed she was disappointed it was a mess.
The fact of the matter is you don't know how long you two will be together and you will never get that money back.
Its not just the money but you don't want to be seen as "buying his affection" if he is seriously hinting at you to get that for him then he is probably using you, and you should find a "Real Man".
I was in a relationship that I knew wasn't going to last and she continued buying me things....you know what i did? I let her...I was young and selfish and greedy. Ive grown up since then and i actually just last year mailed her a check that would cover every penny she spent on me over 2 years.
I hope this answers your question love and i wish you the best....."with the stand" pshh...give me a break.

I guess it depends on the lifestyle you live. Does he regularly spend money on you on expensive dates? If not, then I say that an ipod is too expensive and you'll end up being disappointed when you don't receive a gift that is equally elaborate. I suggest that you talk to his friends or family and maybe find one or two people to split the cost.

I think it is too much personally...but its up to you girl. Also it depends if you think 250 quid is a lot of money anyway? Also it depends how serious you two are ? Has ever bought you expensive gifts ? (which this is) Does he think 250 quid is a lot of money ? I find that lots of little presents where thought has gone into them are much better.

It's o.k as long as you are not trying to buy his love and can afford it. It depends on the relationship you have. If it is serious for both of you, then yes, you can spoil him. If the relationship has not progressed on to this stage then I would say it is too much. He could be embarrassed too if you spent that much and he didn't, or he couldn't afford to..

I think its a bit much for a guy you've only been with 6 months. What if he breaks up with you the day after you give it to him?
Of course, I could be wrong. For example, if your lineage contains the name Nelson Rockefeller, go for it!

£250 is not too much to spend on your boyfriend

Everything is relative my dear. If you can afford it then it's not too much but if you can't afford it, there really is no need for an expensive gift. It's not the gift itself but the practicality and the meaning of the gift. Good luck.
