For years now OH and I have agreed to only spend £20 on a pressie for each other and also an IOU to take us out for lunch at a place of our choice. He broke the rule this year. He bought me a very expensive Smartphone. I bought him a polo shirt from his MG club. I was thrilled with the phone but felt a bit mean/embarrassed with his present. How would you feel?
Car, I know what you mean. I wouldn't be embarrassed but I'd remind him about the agreement, next year - or you could get him something a bit more expensive on his birthday....
