The survey, conducted by Dating.com, found that 71% of folks wouldn't buy the person a gift unless they'd been dating more than seven months, and 38% claim they would break up with their partner if the gift they got them wasn’t "appropriate."

35% say they've even done it before!

Maria Sullivan, Dating Expert and Vice President of Dating.com, told PR Newsire, “The holiday season can be a stressful time for everyone, especially couples trying to figure out what gifts are appropriate to give to one another. It is especially challenging for newer couples who have not exchanged gifts with each other before to understand the appropriate price range of a gift, or how 'serious' it should be.

“With increasingly turbulent economic times, any kind of gift giving feels like a big financial commitment for many people in relationships."
