Fellas, let me ask you a question. If you bought your girl a gift and you bought one for yourself would you think she'd think less of the gift if you had the exact same thing? Case in point: Me and my girl are both on the same cell phone carrier. Ever year or so we upgrade cell phones to the newest models. I bought both one year and she bought both the next year. This year we looking at the Treo 680. We both liked that phone and wanted one. My girl's birthday is the 9th of Dec and she's the type to expect two gifts. One for her b-day and one on Christmas. Ok, I recently came into some money, not a lot but enough to do some things with. I ordered the phones today but I feel like she's not gonna like the cell phone because I got the exact same phone. These phones were over $330 each. Is she being ungrateful about me also getting the same cell phone? Is she wrong to expect two gifts in Dec for her bithday and then a few weeks later for Christmas?

My boyfriend and I bought matching snowshoes for Christmas, lol. No, I don't think it's a big deal that you got the same thing for yourself.
However, I would still get her two gifts. It's not her fault that her birthday is so close to Christmas. Make her birthday gift something small but meaningful; a scrapbook of photos of the two of you, or some tickets to a movie she wants to see. Just let her know that her big gift is coming at Christmas.

It's wrong for her to be greedy and expect two gifts- especially when you bought her such a nice gift already.
