Spend what you can resonably afford on something considered.

I have a couple of posters in the spare room framed.

Framed is different.

Well that's a relief.

oi oi
I kind of agree about posters but couldn't afford a proper world map so bought a poster one. What's new?
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 19:57, Reply)

Does your poster
'mean the world to you?'

Sorry, that's awful

It is always
the thought that means more. In the past I have been bought (by my ex) a Morris Marina Water Pump, a Scientific calculator and a giant babygro (though that was very conmfy - this house is feckin' cold. More thoguhtful presents have included an electric blanket (current ? BF) and Clinique Aromatics Bodywash (thanks Mum x). i always listen for months for hints and try to get something that I think someone will like and will be appreciated and if you would not be happy to receive it then you should not make a gift of it.....

£20 seems ok.
Something fun or a bit silly would be cool. If you are aware of her music or film tastes then something down that line also.

an I cheap?
that's about what I'd spend on someone I'd been seeing for a while. Maybe up to £30 if they were hot
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 20:02, Reply)

No, the cash value of a gift isn't important.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 20:05, Reply)

The value of the gift is relevant to your financial situation.
I wouldn't expect someone who had a lot less money than me to buy me something of the same cost I would spend on them.

Take your gross income excluding share dividends and divide by 1000
*0.5 for people you've been dating less than a month or friends of friends that you're worried might buy you something (eg mates girlfriend)
*1 for friends
*1.5 for best friends and immediate family
*2 for someone you've been sleeping with 3-9 months
*3 for a long-term partner/girlfriend
on up for the love of your life

That's a bit clinical.
There are too many grey areas in relationships to use that financial equation.

I can't afford that much. I blew my load disposable income for the foreseeable on jewellery last month.

( rosalicious i fucking love youve been framed, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 20:50, Reply)

I mostly worked backwards from how much I tend to spend
but yes, it's much more "oh they'd like that" and then not worry too much about price, than what this might suggest.

I'm not a total autism.

less of the smoking pot and reading
more of the spending of cash on something small to give to her

Ignore this advice Bobby
She probably doesn't want to go out with an 8 year old boy who's watched too much Blue Peter.
