Do you girls think such a gift from your boyfriend is appropriate?

I would like to buy a somewhat expensive present for my girlfriend soon. It costs around 1000 euro and that's a laptop.

How would you react if your friend got you an expensive laptop?

It will soon be her birthday and we will both finish school. I can still remember how difficult it was for her because she didn't have a laptop for housework and wanted to surprise her and thereby support her dream. She has never asked anything of me and doesn't have high expectations, so I wanted to surprise her a little with it.

I'm not a girl, but I would be very happy. I think if you spend so much on her and make her happy with a long-awaited item, she would probably be happy.

I would of course be really happy about it, but I would also feel damn bad because we both just finished school and my friend is spending 1000 euro on a laptop, where he could have invested the money elsewhere.

I would be really happy about the gift, but at the same time I would have a guilty conscience because my boyfriend is spending so much money on me.

I would think then I would think about what I can give my boyfriend for his birthday.

From my point of view, nothing speaks against it. Supporting each other in a relationship is the be-all and end-all. However, you should be sure that the relationship has existed. A couple of times (whether consciously or unconsciously I don't know) I resorted to expensive gifts when the relationship was actually over. Unfortunately, a gift doesn't save a relationship either. In the end you just get annoyed (both sides).

I'm not a girl anymore, and I didn't get such expensive gifts from my ex-friends either.

But let's be honest: which girl is not happy?

Of course, your girlfriend will be happy about it.

But as it is unfortunately the case in life, I have already seen how gifts were asked back after the separation, especially so valuable and expensive ones.

If you sign a kind of contract with your girlfriend that you give her the invoice and receipt when you give her the gift and that you don't ask for the laptop back after a possible separation, give her the laptop as a present.

Otherwise, let it be better.
