[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. He needs to have higher standards for himself. I do what I can-at work I ask every married man what they’re getting their spouse for the holidays. [/quote]

Why do you do this? It doesn’t sound like you are making idle conversation.[/quote]

Seriously. What an intrusive and rude question. In our case the answer would be "nothing" since we don't celebrate Christmas, which is what you really mean by "the holidays."

We also are not a gift-giving couple. We agreed long ago not to do that. Gifts are for children. We can buy what we want. We do other thoughtful things for each other throughout the year. As another poster said, it's all about what is normal for you as a couple. Our normal isn't everyone's.

If DH were to suddenly try to buy me something, I could see him going for a makeup bag because that seems standard and safe (although I personally wear very little makeup). Wrapping something you already own, though, is pretty weird. I can't decide if it speaks of lack of effort/caring or too much caring! Like he really wanted to get you something but didn't know what.[/quote]
