I honestly don't care if someone spends more on me then I do on them. If they are willing and able to do that then good on them. I buy within my means and I don't compete. I try and get nice gifts ect but I don't go over the top with spending..
A few things that I do is to buy throughout the year when I see sales on. This way I can get things that might be more expensive at a reasonable price. I also buy things from markets that I think are really unusual or unique, and nobody would have any idea of how much it would cost. If I see something that is just perfect for someone I will buy it and put it away for a present. I also check out the websites that have designer stuff at discount rates eg I got an Oobi outfit for a friend's baby for $15 that is normally $50.
That way I don't spend a lot, I don't feel cheap (even though I am) and the cost is spread throughout the year.
