[quote=Anonymous]DW here, and I'm an awful gift-giver, too. It takes a LOT of work and a penchant for noticing the little details that some people don't have or don't cultivate, because their brains focus on other things.

My DH isn't that great, either. But what works for me is if we are somewhere special, and I say I like something, he buys it right then and there for me. Yes, I know, it is our money, and not a surprise. But it may be a piece of jewelry or ceramics or art or something that I don't NEED and wouldn't buy for myself. I like it better than when he picks something out. And it is instant gratification.

Of course, I love surprises, but you know, you can't have it all.

I still find it very difficult to buy for my DH, but I've been trying to buy him experiences, which works out very well for him, and me, we have less stuff in the house. He's more likely to buys his own "stuff" and not hold back like I do.

So, maybe, are you looking for the surprise, or the actual gift?  Maybe that can help you determine how to steer your DH.
