it's the thought that counts, not the money you spend on a gift. If possible when you want to buy her a present try to get her something you know she'll like - very often we get other people something we sort of llike ourselves rather than something the recipient wants. This means knowing her well, knowing her tastes, knowing her shape (if you want to buy clothes, for instance - tricky business, that, and I'd avoid it). But as leapers says, sometimes a freshly picked flower is better than a diamond.
