[quote=Anonymous]Seriously, OP, are you me?  I just wrote basically this same exact thing in an email to my sister not even 30 minutes ago, except I used some less-polite language and am actually kind of hurt by the whole thing. Every year he comes back with stuff that is nowhere near my style, or just plain junk so he has something, anything, to give me.  I even started sending him direct links to things I really like or want, right after Thanksgiving, but of course he left it so long that he can't order online and doesn't know where to go locally.

I know Christmas isn't about gifts, but it's the lack of thought and the fact that he still doesn't have any idea about what I like--also after more than a decade together--that upsets me.  Like you, I also have put in a lot of thought about the gifts he's getting, and I'm always in charge of getting the gifts for his parents and brothers' kids.  I know I sound a little like a spoiled brat, but is is really frustrating and a little hurtful to have it happen year after year after year.  I too have tried to explain and he feels bad, in the moment, but it doesn't change...[/quote]
