Just started my SA role in NYC and I’ll be pocketing a decent amount of money, she’s here too. Recently started dating after knowing each other for 6 months. I don’t have a sister and I’ve never had a gf, so I don’t know where to buy gifts for girls. Any suggestions on boutiques in NYC where I can get something nice for a decent price? (I’m thinking jewelry)

250 way to high for 3 month IMO. $30 base price increasing $10/ per month is my rule up to the 11 month mark. Once you get to 1yr that’s kinda just when you feel it out/ go more expensive.

Why are people on WSO (esp in IB) so cheap?
You can’t take her to a nice dinner for 2 years? wtf???
I bought my 2month gf $300 of gifts (very thoughtful things) and $250 dinner and she just dumped my ass. She makes no money so I wanted to treat her. Kinda wish I hadn’t now lmao but I guess if I had ended up marrying her I would have felt differently.
Bullet dodged
She’s out of your life for $250, you got off cheap. Imagine the people that figure out after they buy the ring
If you're going to buy her jewelry, make sure you're certain it's her style. Don't want to go spend a few hundred on something she won't like or wear.

Just do a fancy dinner
Do a dinner
A 250$ budget is a versatile budget depending on your gf expectations. You can either keep it simple (Dinner, Date) or do monetary gifts e.g.
- Designer perfume
-Boquet of Roses
-Jewelry (This is a hard one this it seems like you've only known her for 3 months, is she a gold or silver person? Pandora is a good start but make sure you also know her size and style)/.
Honestly though, if she really likes you. Anything that is fun/eventful and thoughtful will create a memorable memory for her.
$250 dinner
People tend to remember experiences more than gifts. Im similar age and I have been with my gf for 2 years now. If you are in NYC I highly suggest bringing her to Bathhouse in Williamsburg during non peak hours ($50 each) and then from there get a nice brunch or dinner depending on the time of day you chose. The Spa at bathhouse is super nice and intimate with a partner my girlfriend absolutely loves going especially with great food after! Also if you want a slightly more $$$ day go to QC spa on governor’s island. You will take a ferry from FIDI and the views of the city from the SPA there are incredible. Also worst case scenario your relationship doesn’t last long you had a cool experience and your money wasn’t just pissed away.
