My (26f) friends (40F/M) are judging my boyfriend (28m) for not spending much on Christmas gifts
This is partly ranting, partly asking for support.
My boyfriend and I are celebrating our first Christmas together and I couldn’t be more excited. We’re in a long distance relationship so travel is already expensive over the holidays, and we recently had a conversation about us each being a little tight on money so we’re not going all out on Christmas gifts. We settled on under $100 for each other.
I’m so excited about the idea of him giving me anything that I don’t care how flashy or expensive it is. Anything he put thought into thinking about me will make me feel special.
I have any idea of one thing he bought me. It’s sentimental and I will appreciate it. But my friends laughed when I told them. It probably only cost $15. They’re like “hopefully that’s not what it is”. They’re almost suggesting he’s a shitty boyfriend that’s undervaluing me.
And they keeps suggesting I get him things way out of my price range. It’s really hurting my feelings because these cheap gifts we’re getting each other will mean a lot to me.
Should I feel bad we’re not spending more on each other?
Tl;dr - my friends are kinda judging my boyfriend and I for not giving more expensive, fancy gifts
