Dear Jazzy –
I want to buy my boyfriend something expensive for Christmas to show how much I love him. But if he buys me something cheap, I’ll feel cheated and like he doesn’t love me that much. What should I do?

Dear Ms. Extravagant Spender,
First off, its the thought that counts, it should not matter whether the gift is expensive or not, gifts DON’T determine love. The fact that he’s with you and he thought about you should tell you that he loves you. Buy him whatever you like, but be happy with what he gives you and that you’re spending time with him. But personally, I don’t think you need to buy him something expensive to show how much you love him. I think he’d be happy just being with you. Have Fun!

More advice for Extravagant Spender…
Dear Extravagant Spender,
You shouldn’t express your love for somebody by money because you will feel cheated either way, and he will only think that you bought him that because you want him to stay longer. He probably already knows you love him and he’s going to take the gift as a gift – not as a way you express your love for him. Have a happy holiday, that’s what’s most important.

Ms. Extravagant Spender,
Don’t over spend money on your boyfriend’s gift because boyfriends don’t last long. Just buy something that fits your budget. And remember that the things you get each other don’t mean how much you love each other, but your feeling for one another.
Signed, Peace
Dear Extravagant Spender,
You don’t have to buy him something too expensive to show him that you care. If he feels that you don’t love him because your gift is “cheap” then he doesn’t really care about you, and vice-versa. Your gifts should come from the heart!
