I was talking this through with my partner just yesterday… He believes that gifts for someone you care about would start from about $20 upwards, and if he saw something that he felt was just right, he wouldn’t not buy it because it had a $100 price tag… I, on the other hand, have not spent that much ($20) on any one of my gifts to him these holidays… Neither one of us diss the other’s view on this, nor see it as a quantifier for how much we love each other, we just approach present-buying differently. (We do also earn significantly different amounts and are in a quite new relationship, so finances are not yet shared.)
