I went quantity > quality.
Instead of buying her a expensive piece of jewelry (that can give one the impression you just walked into a store and picked it up) I bought her a scarf, gloves (different colors. Like $1 each lol) matching hoodie I already have LOL, a cute cardigan, earrings and a few accessories.. Went to the dollar store and got a really pretty box to put the stuff inside, wrapped the box with wrapping paper and ribbons. Put a letter/card at the bottom of the box. (save the best for last) write something cheesy lol. The card costs a dollar and did magic last year. Total costed me around 80ish.
Have a shopping list in mind and know where to go. Forever21 has really cheap yet pretty stuff and old navy has simple stuff (scarfs) but 30% at checkout when you give them your email

If you want to get her something pretty get her a makeup set at sephora (limited edition doir collection) for like 60$.. Good luck!

EDIT

Expensive isn't everything man.. Unless youre dating some hella careless or superficial girl..
Reading your thread (http://www.revscene.net/forums/rant-never-buy-p7238816.html#post7238816)
Looks like you went the expensive route and wasn't happy about it
