As a disclaimer, I will say that we don’t buy many gifts for each other. We are savers, not spenders; however, a few times a year–and especially at Christmas–we like to treat each other.

I’d personally rather have one expensive gift a year, knowing it will last a long time, rather than several inexpensive gifts that last a month or less.
