    I've been seeing a girl from college for a few months now we're not officially a couple yet but i plan on asking her soon. She's hinted that she's getting me something & thats she's looking for something but i've no idea how much to spend on her?

    Money's not a big issue but i dont want to seem too keen buying an expensive gift or cheap with a crap one.

    PS: I'm crap at buying presents! :rolleyes:

    Listen to her more. Find out what she likes without coming right out and asking her. Go shopping* with her and watch what she goes to first when entering a store.

    Does she like to be pampered? Day in a salon or spa, something like that maybe?

    Ask in the shop. If they have one in, they'll surely be able to get another in.

    Makes note to do this next time. Will not my sniggering and camcorder give me away?

    OP, you could ask her best friend. She would know what this girl likes.
    Note, do not mention price, just say you want to get her some nice necklace, and what should you get and where?

    There is a strong chance that she has already dropped hints. We guys are a bit slow in this department.
    Ask her friends, she definitly will have told them what she would like.

    Thats a great idea, i could get one of those mini cameras in a pair of glasses & a microscopic recorder to record all shopping conversations :rolleyes:
