Question Posted Wednesday December 20 2006, 6:15 pm
I've been dating one of my really good guy friends for a few weeks and we have a really tyte realtionship. So he told my friend that hes buying me like $20 worth of stuff for Christmas. My mom thinks we should've waited a little longer to start going out.. so she doesn't know we are. So therefore, I couldn't get him anything more than a "just friends gift". Which is some cookies and a little novelty thing (a whiteboard that hangs from your doorknob?!--mom bought it).
I feel really bad because I really really really really like him and I feel bad that he's spending so much on me and I'm being Miss Cheap-o.
Should I get him something after break (when my mom knows that were going out) as a "Make-Up Christmas"?
If yes, then what should I get him??

hope i could help

I wouldn't say get him a make-up christmas gift though. Try the note, he'll love it! [ ExNOTINI's advice column | Ask ExNOTINI A Question ]

Homemade, thoughtful gifts mean a lot more than something you buy. As for the whiteboard, write something really cute on it before you give it to him. You're not being Miss Cheap-O, so don't worry about it!
