[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Good point.

Pukin Dog....If you have to think that much about spending the money on her...this relationship is not in good shape or this is so casual that maybe just a box of chocolates and a pretty sweater would be more appropriate.

If buying the present is about what you'll get for the holiday...Here's another way to calculate the " $ " spent...if that is the issue.
Figure out the price of the Mixer, divide that by 3 and see if that is what you would pay a call girl for 3 visits.

Good luck!

Relationship? She's a girlfriend, but I am NOT the marrying kind. That said, she is a sweet (but crazy) girl who could use a break. I don't want anything from her, just trying to be the nice guy until the inevitable ugly break up. But Lurker convinced me, since after I am long gone, she will have the mixer to either torment her or give her good memories. LOL.
