[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is annoying.  Every year on Christmas morning I we open up presents and there are basically none for me - because I buy all of the presents.  On the few occasions that my husband has tried and bought me something, the gifts have been so completely random that I wonder who he really thinks I am.

That being said, he is a great husband in every other way so I look on this with amusement.  He is bad at picking out gifts for everyone, not just me, so I know that it is not a personal slight.  I now feel free to get myself a few nice things that I like, wrap them up, put them under the tree, and when I open them declare, "I love it, honey.  Its just what I wanted."  We laugh and I get what I want.

Same here (except that I don't wrap my own gifts, LOL).  My DH gets me something I ask for if I ask for it; otherwise, nothing or something token. And never jewelry.

Years ago it upset me but now I recognize that it's just not his forte, and that I love so many other things about him.  I wouldn't trade him making dinner most nights, or bringing me coffee in the shower every morning for being a better gift-giver.[/quote]
