I am so proud of you! You stuck to your DBing with him and came out all the stronger for it. I'm so happy for you I could dance a jig!
The little "victories" are so important. You listened, you told him how you felt about the mortgage holiday without preaching to him about the need to be fiscally responsible, you didn't lash out at him about the irresponsibility of buying a car well outside his price range, and you complimented him on his bag when it would have been easier to mother him over his appearance of being ill. GOOD JOB!!!!
IMO, definitely wait until he contacts you about having met with the estate agents. No need to interact with him now. You already thanked him for the gift so no need to tell him how much you are enjoying the gift.
Question - Are you not able to buy Hershey's in the UK? I thought they were EVERYWHERE!
Regarding the present you have for him, hold it until Christmas. Can you give it to him then? That way you get to reciprocate without it appearing to be reciprocal if you know what I mean.
