[quote=Anonymous]Allow me to try to answer this.

1) I cannot buy you clothing. I know your size, but I'm not really up on how retailers do vanity sizing these days, so I fear that I'll invariably get you something that makes you think I think you're fat (you're not and I don't), so there's simply no way to win in this area.

2) You developed an allergy to gold, and have more silver than you know what to do with. Besides, earrings are sort of go-to gifts from the kids. Besides, I've already given you diamond studs in the past. But, generally, it's getting harder to find decent jewelry. I do look, however, especially when I travel for work -- i'll go to the local markets. I just can never find the right thing.

3) You really wouldn't appreciate a book of "love" poetry. We don't do sappy symbolism in our house anyway. What I really want to give you is a new Apple Macbook to replace your failing laptop, and that would be a stretch financially, but you just said don't buy anything practical, so I guess that's out.

4) Along those lines, gadgets are out. You spend too much damn time looking at screens anyway as it is.

5) I'd get you lessons or something but you always go once or twice and stop going, so it's a waste of money.

So, look, this isn't as easy as you suggest. And I'm trying. How about you cut me some slack? Or just, I don't know, tell me what you want rather than play some game where I'm supposed to guess and be right?[/quote]
