Aniston has been dating actor/screenwriter/director Justin Theroux since May, and for his 40th birthday she just bought him a $12,000 vintage leather jacket once worn by James Dean. Jeez! Let's hope he's a big fan of the late actor!

According to Forbes, Aniston has a net worth of $110 million, so clearly she can afford to treat her new man to something special, but that's a big gesture. It also increases the seriousness of their relationship and puts some pressure on Theroux to buy Aniston an equally lavish gift, which he may not be able to afford.

Have you ever been caught up in a gifting war with a significant other? One person buys an expensive gift, and the other feels the need to reciprocate. Or even worse—one person spends a lot of money on a present, and the other unknowingly gives a small token gift which leaves both parties feeling badly. It seems unnecessary, but sometimes it helps to establish gift-giving rules.
