It's the thought that counts, not the monetary value. If somehow she gets offended by your "lesser" gift, I would say something is wrong in the relationship. 250 is pretty good on its own.
This is exactly why my circle of friends do not give gifts anymore. You just said you know its not about the price, yet you are stressing because of a difference in dollar value.
No, do not spend more to "even things out". $250 is over-the-top for half a year of dating, $500 is ridiculous. What happens next year, spend thousands? I wouldn't accept a $500 gift at that stage of dating, that would make me completely uncomfortable. Heck, my husband and I don't spend that now. It's not about the price tag.
It's not about how much money you spend, it's the thought that goes into it. As long as you feel your gift is thoughtful and tailored to her, that's all that should matter, and the same should go for her. If she would hold it against you that you didn't spend as much as her, then she isn't the right one for you anyways. Good luck!
It's about the budget or as Kevin Hart says "Stay in your lane."
