Help. Should I buy my fiance a christmas present?

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

A few months ago we decided instead of spending money on each other for presents we would use that money and go to Disney World for the holidays. We did that, and got back a few days ago. Her birthday is the day after Christmas so I already bought her an amethyst ring ($150). Everything was fine and dandy until earlier she mentioned how she got me something for Christmas that cost a good bit. My only guess is that it is the h701 processor for my alpine flip out, since I had said a while back that I would rather everyone pitch in and she take that money and get that for me as a present from everyone. My inkling is that she bought it herself (she bought me the dvd player last year). I'm really bummed because I didn't get her anything since I'm having to watch my money until I start back at work in January. I have half a mind to order her a blue 4 gig iPod nano (she mentioned that she wanted a new ipod since hers is crap) and give her the ring for Christmas. I would purchase the nano online through BB and pick it up the day after christmas while we're doing our post-holiday shopping (lights, etc for cheap). That night I would give her the nano for her b'day present. My question is, if you only have about $360 to spare, would you get her the present, or just hope she really does understand that you stuck to the arrangements made about Disney? Like I said, I could give her the ring for x-mas, then pick up the nano on the 26th and give it to her that night.

cliffs: didn't buy a present due to agreement. she wound up getting one for me anyway. should I buy a 4 gig nano, pick it up on 26th as a b'day present that night, and instead give her the original b'day present ($150 ring) as x-mas present?

she's probably not going to love you anymore if you mess that up. i just want you to brace yourself and stuff.

Buy her the Ipod and give her the ring for christmas, original agreement or not, I know that if she gave me a gift I would feel like shit for not giving her one. She's worth it right?

ALWAYS get the gf/fiance/ wife an xmas gift, no matter what arrangments are made. Even if she didnt get you anything, you still should have got her something even if it was small. Even a gift card is better than nothing.

I'd considered giving her $100 or so to spend during our after Christmas shopping. We're buying stuff for our house for next year, but in all honesty that seems like a corny gift. I think I may go with the ipod after all.

if ur strapped for cash, giv her the ring for xmas, and do something nice for her, like do a candle lit dinner or something of that sort at home, or do something sentimental... females tend to appreciate sentimental things more
