So, my girlfriends birthday is coming up in about a month and obviously I'm going to get her something. How much am I supposed to spend on a gift? We will have been dating for ~5 months so it's not going to be extravagant but it's also a big deal to her. Money isn't really an issue. I just don't know what is approximately the right amount. Obviously we'll do something too, but gifts are good.
$90 - $150
not including dinner/date plans
If money isn't an issue then why are you asking? Get her something that she'll like. If you've known her for at least 4 months already and don't know what she likes, you're a dou\che. The level of stupidity on this board regarding relationships is astounding.
I don't want her to feel uncomfortable about how much I spend or feel obligated to spend more than she should when my birthday comes. Getting her something she likes isn't an issue. I already had something in mind I was just curious if other people would more or less agree or disagree.
I assume she already knows money is not an issue for you. If she's uncomfortable with you spending money you can afford to spend to do something nice for her, then she is probably not a good fit in the long term. Women never feel the necessity to reciprocate financially when it's their turn to give gifts - that is what anal sex and rimjobs were invented for. If you already have something in mind, again, why are you asking?

Are you giving the gift unconditionally? It's a gift. It should be as pleasurable to give as to receive.
Why don't you communicate your feelings about her getting a gift for you before your birthday? Don't discuss your birthday on hers. Done.
Is the gift really about her?
Blow up dolls really don't have feelings, OP.
Its too early for gifts . Make her a hand written card, on her birthday, if it looks like she is disappointed, end the relationship. After 5 months, if she cannot accept this heart felt gift , then she never will in the future.
That's Great! Thanks for posting!
