[quote=Anonymous]My DH wants to give me the gifts that I adore--especially if there is an audience for me unwrapping it, like my parents at Christmas--but is (usually) pretty terrible at figuring out what that should be. Enter the Amazon universal wish list. Throughout the year, whenever I come across something I like, but isn't something I'd buy for myself (or would wait until after the holidays), I put it on the list, along with size or color info, if appropriate, and possibly an explanation (such as "my 30 year old hand-me down navy sweater is showing its age and this would be a great replacement"). My parents and DH both look to this list for inspiration.

I still get the occasional perfume box set (really? I don't wear perfume, as it makes me sneeze), but usually it is something I want or need. I sometimes wish he could read my mind and pick out the perfect gift without a wish list, but I have to admit that I have trouble doing that for him, too, so that is not a very realistic wish.[/quote]
