I really want a laptop for xmas this year but thought such a big ticket item would be out of reach for me to receive as a gift but the other day I stumbled upon my boyfriends paypal account and low and behold there was a payment to a laptop company for $200 on a Ebay laptop. I was excited even though its not a new one but still its a start. That day I was talking to my mother on the phone and I mentioned how I thought that he got me a laptop and she let out a huge sigh and was eager to get off the phone. Thing is not to be greedy but im sure the laptop my mom bought me is a lot better and brand new, but still my b/f has spent a lot on me and I wouldnt want to hurt his feelings. How do I deal with this?

Moms Understand. Receive it for christmas, then the one from your boyfriend. The one he bought you off ebay can't be returned, so.... you'll have to return the one from your mom. or you can keep both and sell one to buy accesories.

You should tell your boyfriend that you think your mom got you a laptop for xmas. This way he'll scramble to find something else and return what he bought or resell it.
Your boyfriend is your boyfriend only as long as you are together....your mother is your mother forever.

possibly a greater effective question may well be, what 'not' to purchase him, as he will in all probability open it up close on your mothers and fathers.. ok, if I have been you, i might in all probability purchase him something he used to love as a newborn (if he gets to spend the christmas alongside with your mothers and fathers i think you do comprehend him rather plenty). for occasion my boyfriend used to love the GI Joe figures and Lego. yet another theory may well be a watch, it quite is a classical, besides the undeniable fact that that's actual that maximum adult men do like watches. in case you ought to make your mothers and fathers pleased with you having chosen this guy, you additionally can purchase him something relating his skills. a sequence of oil paints for a painter, for occasion.

Don't do anything. Allow them both to give you the presents, then act surprised when you get them. Maybe your boyfriend will like to use the laptop. It's the thought that counts.

Just be gracious and thank them both. I'm sure they will both want you to keep the one that is the better one so don't worry about it. Since your Mom knows, she'll probably handle it before Christmas anyway.

Talk Xmas with him and tell him you think your mom got you a laptop. Do not hint that you think he has got one for you.
I am sure you will be able to see what reaction occurs.
