Expensive Gifts?

Hey!

Okay, my boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half. I've known him for 8 years and we were best friends our senior year of high school. We were only dating about 2-3 weeks when he went to Germany for 2 weeks to visit family. When he came back he surprised me with a beautiful Swarovski (the biggest crystal manufacturer in the world) necklace. I was just soo estatic! I could not believe he would do that. It was just the most wonderful gift to be surprised by. Yeah, he spent a considerable amount of money, but it really showed me how serious he was about me and I was just so happy we were on the same page.

If you feel that connection, GO FOR IT! A girl would be a fool to turn down a loving gift from her boyfriend, especially one who seems to care about her as much as you do.

Good luck! (Helzberg has a lot of great jewelry; www.helzberg.com)

Well, I for one will not accept expensive gifts from someone. I would feel like he was trying to buy my love, and that's just not needed. And if he feels like he has to buy my love, well what's he really think about me? Does he think I'm that shallow that I need gifts?

If a guy REALLY wanted to buy me something, I'd recommend going with something cheap, but still nice. Maybe a mix cd. Something that takes a little thought, because jewelry is too easy.

For me personally. If a guy gave me a jewelry, I would be taken back. That would just triggers a lot of thoughts like "Will he want to marry me? " "What is next? " When I was dating, on Valentine Day, I had expected something simple like flowers and I got them. Once, an ex gave me a necklace on my birthday, All I could do was stare at it. Wondering if I wanted to be with him. Then I realized, I didn't. I ended the relationship the next month.

Okay, well girls love jewelry. It's just a fact. If you feel like she won't appreciate it or you might regret it, then do not do it. How long have you been together?

I mean, you know better as to whether or not she would like it. For me, I love getting jewelry. But I know that I wouldn't be getting jewelry unless, one - my fiance could afford it and two - he really wanted to. I would never EXPECT jewelry, but it is always a nice surprise.

Love is price less the best way to show you love is a gift you made with love by yourself don't buy stuff like necklace if you want to impress her give her a promise ring I told you man love is price less

Don't give anything you'd regret giving if things don't work out in the end. Flowers, taking a trip, something along those lines are just as good as something shiny. Gold tarnishes, diamonds lose their sparkle, but good lasting memories are what you'll look back on with fondness.

Just my $. 02.

I have done the expensive gifts before, and I say its not a good idea. It's not the price of the gift that matters, but the thought behind it.
