how much should you spend on a bird you've been going out with for about 6 months... is there any sort of formula

buy lots of smaller things and wrap em up in a big box, you can do this on the cheap, but it will show thought

Thats was my old mans scam for my mum for many years.

Seriously it depends of what gifts you give out just for fun on a regular basis, what she is used to etc.

Its not always about pricy gifts, a well chosen thoughtful present doesn't need to be 'mega money'. Something like perfume is personal, you need to get it right. But if you do, works a treat. Its all personal preference but D&G The One, is a lovely perfume. Jewellry can't fail either, something pretty and perhaps sparkly? Earrings are good, a nice safe option.
