Search Results: christmas present

So a little context here. I've been dating him for about 4 months but we are pretty serious. He just transferred to a bigger university and is just a little further away so we don't have as much time together. He's very busy, he's in the Boy Scouts, loves marvel, and is 20 years old. He loves going to the gym, protein shakes and supplements and all that. He doesn't have a lot of money right now, so I don't want to spend any more than $30-40. I got him an expensive Christmas present and that was a little awkward with the price gap in our presents, I could tell he was embarrassed. Any idea really? The only one I have so far is a new wallet and one of those metal wallet inserts that can be personalized. The wallet is leather and can have his initials laser cut into it. Those together would be about $40, but I'm open to other ideas or your opinion if you think that's a safe gift. Thanks for your advice!

My friend Amy had this issue with her now fiance's mother for nearly 3 years. They just got engaged last month.

They started getting along from the start but when they were 4 months into their relationship, apparently a family member spreaded some rumors and made the mother and a couple others believe her. Then her bf's mother would proceed to gossiping to others about her, not invite her to reunions anymore, trying convincing her son to dump her and instead date an old ex girlfriend again... getting to the point of directly insulting her (calling her a golddigger, disgusting whore, how she'll never be good enough and literally said ''quit with the crocodile tears already'' as she was in tears).

My friend would spend time crying during that time and was very stressed out, couldn't explain what exactly she did to her. The guy at some point stood up for her and he moved with her.

The lies of that person were discovered and the guy's mother has been trying to make it up to her. Supposedly they reconciled just this past Sept. My friend explained that all though she forgave her, invite her to their wedding, they get along now and even wished her Merry Christmas along with the present (the mother did so too), she feels the wound is still fresh and needs a bit more time to completely get over it.
