 soap = boyfriend of 1 month
£300 + brother of whole life
Fairly simple equation dontcha think.
C'mon, your question makes you sound like a money grabber.

Either they havent or you are a very shallow materialistic individual who doesnt even deserve a bar of soap. Grow up.

Why not feel happy that she took the time and energy to even buy you a gift. Practise being more grateful and begin graciously accepting her gifts with no complaints.

 Don't feel stupid, soaps and ALL that kind of stuff are the most common presents EVER, she didn't know what to get you, they are lovely presents, this is what every woman thinks, use them don't complain!!

 I'm sorry...I'm confused, was this a present to celebrate your first month of seeing each other? Or have you been together for a few years and this is the anniversary of your first month?
If you have only been seeing her for a month then do you really expect her to to spend as much on you as on her brother? If she did I would say she had her priorities all wrong.
If you have been going out for longer then maybe she just couldn't think of anything you needed. Maybe she didn't know what you like..some men a extremely difficult to buy for. Try dropping some hints as to what you like next time.

It's actually a good gift, but she probably didn't realize you weren't the type of guy to appriciate soap. She probably just didn't know what to get for you, so even if it sucks to get hand soap, just appreciate the fact that she thought she was getting you something special.

 I wouldn't make too much of an issue on this.If you like buying presents every month for each other then that is fine,the only problem is,it can get to being expensive if eventually you run out of funds.Maybe she spent $300 on her brother because, where she has known her brother all her life,she probably has only known you for a short while,saying that....i guess getting soap every month is a bit predictable.Maybe you should drop hints on what you would like.Or better still...why not spend your money on a romantic meal or a luxury day out somewhere.
