Opinions on how much to spend?

[Pyrrhic]

If you and OH had picked a budget how much would you stick to it? Normally I would but I've found something that is £60 more expensive and I know he *really* wants it.

What would you do?

I blow they budget every year! As long as you can afford it, I would go for it. Christmas only comes once a year and it'll be worth it to see your OH's face on Xmas morning

I blow the budget every year too, even if i can't afford to lol. I just love christmas and seeing people's faces when they open their presents lol. This year we have set a budget, and i am going to try and stick to it because money is abit tight at the mo.

Go for it! Spend that extra hard earned cash - give him a huge smile on xmas day! x

I feel better now

Its a blu-ray player and the one I was going to get him is what I've found out is now the older model. Do I get the newer one, or stick to the old one?

I didn't want him just having one present either, so I got him this:

Which is why the blu-ray player will blow the budget if I get the newer model.

I always go over the limit we set. If you know he'll love it I'd just get it anyway Xx

I always end up blowing the budget too!!!He is worth everypenny though!!!!!

As for the model issue I would look at the specifications of them both and see if there is any diff other than the model number.I used to work for a large electrical company and more often than not the new models were just an updated model number and nothing more unless new technology has been added!

Now that I look at it, the cheaper one seems like the newer one?

From those links the one you'd want is the cheaper one. Either way, he's had a tough time of it recently... he'll appreciate the treat.

The cheaper one is the newer one and its better than the more expensive one. I think the other one costs more as it comes from a amazon shop rather than directly from amazon if that makes sense lol.

Nope I wouldn't stick to budget I've gone about £400 over mine!!

 

[Pyrrhic]

Thanks girls, have bought the cheaper/better one

 

[dizzyspells]

Yep I would go for the cheaper one!They usually have special deals for the retailer on newer models so they are quite often cheaper than the older ones.xx

I've blown every Christmas budget I've ever made. Except for the year that me and OH set a limit on each other and raised it 3 times. That year I got it just right! LOL If we hadn't raised it... OI!
