Sorry, I cannot relate.

Since I was little, I never expected people to buy me things I like, unless I tell them exactly what to buy me - as in, point out the actual item! I am very picky, I know this about myself, so I send people who ask a link to the exact item, or resign myself to tell them something vague that I won't necessarily like. I will buy myself things throughout the year.

If your husband gives you nothing while you give him something, that's a different problem altogether: he's not being nice. Either you stop giving him gifts too, or you make a huge to-do and force him to buy exactly what you want.

I have a similar story. Truth is nobody is going to get me as thoughtful a present as the one I buy myself.

Now having read these boards for years, I’m convinced most of us are bad gift givers. (Not all, no need to tell me why you personally are amazing). But there is such an expectation that good gift = “love, care, appreciation” but that’s not really true for most people.[/quote]
