writes: for a 2 year anniversary--do you in general think a guy should spend more on the girl? My b/f was asking in a joking way so what are we spending but obviously it was serious in a way. I know i would feel a little weird if i spent ALOT more than him on a gift. Like saying i spent $200 and he spenr $50. I know its not about the gift but sometimes it does matter a little. I told him about what i was spending. It makes me curious though--would he return a gift he bought already b.c maybe he spent a lot more? Should i care as long as he gives me something from the heart?

 Your anniversary shouldn't be about how much you spend on each other. It should be how much you enjoy spending time with each other! If you choose to exchange gifts, it should be because you care about each other and want to see the smiles on each other's faces.
Enjoy your anniversary for what it represents, not the receipts attached to it!!
Congratulations and enjoy the day together...

It's not a contest. Neither is it particularly romantic to focus on the cost, and I would have thought anniversaries are supposed to be romantic occasions.
Just buy something well within your means (surely it's only a token gift anyway?) and stop making such an issue out of it!

Take care

reader, anonymous, writes (20 March 2007): I guess it depends. Some people focus more on the cost, others more on the thought. I don't think a guy should spend more on a 2 year anniversary, I think he should spend what he can afford and what is most suitable for the occasion.
I don't think you should tell him how much you are spending on him, I would personally find that very unromantic and I would feel like I had to spend the same amount on them and that is not what anniversaries (for me) are about.
