iv been with my boyfriend 6 months.. th other day he
gave me my christmas present! i had to take a look and
see what it was once he had gone... it was a neckelace and
a bracelet.. it looked as though he had spent about 10 pound on the two items. maybe not even that.
i was just shocked... iv spent about 40 pound on him and thought i was the one that was going to feel bad!!
does it mean he just doesnt really care or like me as much as he makes out??
i was really upset when i opened it.

Seriously??? I bet that kinda hurt, but it is the thought that counts. Maybe he's just stuck in a rut when it comes to money, what with the holidays and everything. Maybe he was trying to ration his spending so he could buy things for everyone on his list. However, I can relate to how you feel. I know it feels bad sometimes, but it's inevitable. Honestly I don't know what to say. You could forgive and forget about the necklace and bracelet as you set them in the back of your closet, or you could try to make him happy and actually wear the jewelry. Lus, most guys don't have any idea what girls like, so maybe that was the best he could do. He's probably happy with his decision and you should be too. Talk to him! After half a year I'm sure he'd be able to understand. Perhaps he's planning to get you something great for Valentine's day or even your anniversary.
Good Luck :-)

and you 2 have been together for 6 months... things can only get better!
What does it matter how much he spent on you? Maybe he does not have much money
If you two really love eachother the price of the gift should not come into it!
Just be grateful you have a partner who can be bothered to even get up and get you a present, there are some men who cant be bothered.
You should not be so materialistic, or it it really bothers you get your money back on the things you got him.
Saying that, it has only been 6 months, he may think its to early to blow his money.

the gesture is in the Giving
not the monetary value.
he brought it 4 u, thinking it was perfect 4 u.
try not 2 disappoint him by letting on what u really think.
look passed the value and accept it, wear it and b grateful that he took the time 2 buy u a gift.
but if it should turn ur neck/wrist green,
it's than that u impress upon him the importance of
what u pay 4, is what u get.
until then show good grace and say thank u.

First of all, why did you open it?
Next, Christmas is NOT about how much you spend on someone. Maybe he just has cheap taste.
Enjoy the fact that he took the time to go shopping and spend even a dime on you. A lot of men wouldn't even go that far.
Relish the Christmas spirit and don't be upset about something so trivial.

Depends on his situation. Does he have the money to spend on something extra? How does he treat you is what you need to look at. Gifts are just material things it is what comes from within a person that is the real present in life. Tell him you love the gift, he didn't have to get you anything at all if he didn't want to. Talk to him about things and bring up what made he pick that gift for you ask him his feeling on it, just ask in a casual conversation like "How did you know I would want something like that?" But remember what you get from him all year around is the real gift. Good Luck

6 months isn't really very long to be with someone. The gift might have been cheap, but blokes aren't good at presents, and at least it was a feminine present that he got you. A girlfriend of mine got a potato peeler and cheese grater for Christmas last year off her bloke and they had been together over a year! Now that's a bad gift!

Some logical reasons for this:
1, he can't afford anything better
2, he knew you would peek, so wrapped up some costume jewellery as a joke
3, he is not as materialistic as you are
4, he doesn't care
5, you spent too much, making what he has got seem rubbish.
If you think spending too little on your bf/gf means they don't love you, then spending too much could also mean you are desperate to buy love. Next time don't look, you have ruined your own xmas.

i'm an Aussie and that i say decide for it, yet I easily have inner maximum scientific well being coverage besides as Medicare, basically in case i want elective surgical treatment. you may desire to discover this exciting. presently inner maximum hospitals provided to take public sufferers, decrease than Medicare. the internal maximum hospitals run issues extra effectively...yet we nonetheless have the familiar public well being equipment for outpatients and regular well being care. that's style of like appropriate of the two worlds i think. The Medicare levy is basically 2 tiered. a million.5% of taxable earnings in case you earn decrease than $one hundred,000 pa or 2.5% in case you earn over that and don't have inner maximum scientific well being coverage. yet another earnings is the govt expenses is basically 4% of the equipment, while united states of america's inner maximum well being care fees you something like 20% of the equipment for admin only....this variety of waste, and compounded by utilising comments that coverage firms have intense admin expenses because of the fact they spend various time rejecting claims. If I paid for scientific well being coverage only to get my declare rejected i could be mad.

wtf? cheer up you miserable cow! The amount someone likes you can't be measured by how much they spend on you for christmas!! Maybe he's a bit short of cash but thought you'd like these items more than a £60 teddy bear?? But then, if you're as ungreatful and snobbish as you seem, maybe he doesn't like you all that much after all...
and btw, it's really quite bad luck to open presents before the 25th
- couldn't you wait?

Oh dear. It really isn't about the cost, it's the thought that counts. My partner never bought me an Xmas gift during the whole 12 years we were together. Don't think about the cost, just the fact that he cared enough to buy you one at all.
