Is it acceptable to go over a '£10 limit' set for Valentine's Day?

My boyfriend really needs a back massage (he's been getting back pain recently), and it's the only thing I can think of getting him for Valentine's Day. I could just get him a £10 voucher towards it then offer to pay the rest but I'd rather just get him a voucher to the full value of how much it's going to cost. What do you think?

Update:

spencersaurus: that's always on the menu with me ;)

    If he does the right thing and buys you a £10 gift, and you give him a more expensive gift, he is going to feel like a chump.

    Just get him something nice, and in a few days time, give him the massage voucher out of the blue. Just for being a great bf.

    If you and your boyfriend have set a £10 limit then stick to it and I don't think you should buy a £10 voucher towards a massage. If he needs or wants a massage he can go and get one.

    You could pick up a mini massager for £10 (one of those hand held ones with the funny looking nodules on!) and give him a massage yourself. Then he can enjoy it time and again. You could get a little bottle of massage oil too for 2 or 3 quid.

    I think if the two of you set the limit in the first place it would be unfair and make him feel bad. Maybe not. I would have to know your boyfriend I guess. Why don't you spend the money on lotions and give him the back massage yourself? That would be nice.

    Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/NC1Na

    Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.

    The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.

    Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

    My wife's letting me raz one up her marmite motorway on Valentine's day.

    It's the only day of the year Cupid let's me sneak in the back door.

    Is that something you could put on the menu?

    The massage is a nice thought but I'll be honest with you, a trip down the bourneville boulevard with the right lady is always high on any gentleman's list.

    Be careful. Going over the limit may cause him to feel bad about not getting you something more expensive. This could cause you 2 to ge caught up in the v- day world wind that may lead to over spending and on future v- days or one spending more than the other, which could cause resentment and arguments...... you see where this is going !

    I would stick with the voucher of the amount you agreed on. If your BF stuck to that amount you will make him feel bad that you went out and spent more than him.

    Better to buy the present and tell him you got it on special offer for £10.

  • 1 decade ago

    I would buy a book about how to do this and not get someone else to do it, but repeat the present again and again and again, in the comfort of home.
