Too many women see gift giving as a test. How well does he know me? Can he figure out the perfect thing for me?

Men don't care for that sort of thing. Men will say, "Get me the Calloway XR16 Driver with a Graphite Shaft." This is what they understand. They're not going to see a display of Kate Spade handbags and just know the perfect one for you. And I'd actually be a bit concerned if they did know.

Thank you for backing me up.

But it ain't NEVER going to happen.

My DH is a horrible gift giver too. We have been married for 8 years and now it's just a joke that we laugh about. We barely exchange gifts anymore. Just a card and something tiny. I did get really annoyed at first but it's really not a big deal in the scheme of things!

He can't even wrap them??
