Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 3 months- We are getting pretty serious. I spent $300 dollars on him and bought his little sister a few things. I think his mother has bought me a few small things. And he bought my parents something. Should I buy her something? If so... What- And how much should i spend?

In my opinion 3 months is too less a time to come down to gifting stuff to the partner's family. If you were engaged then it would be more appropriate to exchange gifts but as you said that she has bought gifts for you then having that knowledge you should also buy her something. But let me tell you dear that gifiting is a very personal issue as it involves more than just courtesy.....so if you want to give anyone anything its finally YOUR choice, no social rules can dictate that. good luck with the festive season :)

I think it would be a good idea. It sounds like everyone bought gifts for everyone. Ask him how much he spent on your parents. Spend about the same amount. Ask him what she likes. If she likes decorations, get some kind of cute Christmas thing. If she likes clothes, get her some of those.

If he bought your parents something and his parents bought you something then yes its only right to buy them something. As for how much, factor in your age and what you can afford and go from there... Its hard to tell you what to spend, when I don't know if you are 16 or 25. Good Luck to you.

I would, but here's hoping you know her pretty well. Personally, I'd stay away from gift cards. If you're over at her house, and you see Yankee Candles or Boyd's Bears all over the place, go with one of those. If she's gotten you things, not gift cards, you get her things, not gift cards. (Sorry...gift cards just seem too impersonal. People say that sometimes you have no choice, but I feel you ALWAYS have a choice these days.)

No harm in buying something cute & not very expensive.
But tell me--
R U keeping a detailed account of the prices of items exchanged between the two parties ? If so, your relationship is doomed from day 1.

Only if you want to buy her something from your heart. If you do buy something, it should be something inexpensive $25 or less. You could buy fashion jewelry, scarf, mugs, bath & body sets. I assure you she will be happy with anythng you buy. It is not what you give or how much it cost, it is the thought. You sound like a very thoughtful person and I know his Mom will appreciate anything you get her..

If she got you something you need to get her something. It doesn't have to be HUGE.
Gourmet candy/chocolate is nice.
Btw, why did you spend $300 on a guy you have only been dating for three months? I have been with my bf for over a year and only spent about $250 on him.

It would always be nice to give a gift to his mother. Though it is not necessary, it will also be wanted. Christmas is about giving and you should not be expected to give anything on Christmas, but you can get them something small to let her know you were thinking about her.
