Scottie bought my clear side markers when I bought my car, and I gave him a set of Yokohama Parada tires once.
The most expensive thing I think I ever got him (not counting the plane tickets we've bought for each other over the years) was the Franklin Mint pewter model of the HD V-Rod, I got him for his birthday a few years ago. I think it was like $250, which doesn't sound like a lot except that we have spent most of our relationship completely broke, so it was definitely a splurge.
The most expensive thing he ever got me was, obviously, the engagement ring. I don't know how much it cost but I DID tell him he could get me a CZ for the stone, although I don't know if he did or not.
I think it's dumb to spend in the tens of thousands of dollars for a tiny little piece of stone that looks exactly like a $15 piece of stone. But the setting is platinum and the side diamonds are real (it's a 3-stone ring), and if the center stone is real (and I do NOT want to know), then it's a total of 1.5 carats. Add that to the 1.5 tcw 6-stone wedding band I got from my grandma, and I've got a lot of bling on my hand! 
Not that it's what matters... like you guys said above, I've only been engaged for 6 months and married for 1, so I'm still in "Staring at it" mode. I'm just glad he finally made the commitment... he could have gone to a cracker jack box for all I cared.

At least you're both into cars. Wait, that could be a problem when the joint funding for a mod becomes available, but you can only afford to do it to one of your cars! I can see it now:"I want those headers!"
"No, you got the intake already!"
"Yeah but your car has more hp stock!"
"That's not fair!"

I bought my wife a purse for $1000, but she sold it to some guy name Mench, Manch, or whatever, for like $1200. We took the money and bought steaks from Omaha Steaks. I know the steaks were good, but I wonder how Munch made out?
That's a big gift, even for married people!!

I know a guy who's wife is a total trophy wife. She gets all sorts of stuff like Escalade, party this, trip that, etc. She's a dumb c*&t and the worst princess I've ever met. I'm hoping to meet a girl who likes receiving cooking utensils.... j/k
