[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DW here. I suck at buying gifts and my DH is awesome at it. Every year is a surprise and spot on. I've never even considered returning anything he's given me. I on the other hand suck at it big time. [/quote]

This is me too. He keeps a note section of things I mention during the year that I want and during my birthday and holiday time he gets from the list. It's always perfect. I hate it! :). He's such a good gift giver, I make up for it with a Bj and a guys trip to Vegas. [/quote]

I try to make it easy on my wife.  Last year I said "I LOVE this Milwaukee M18 cordless drill.  The one Bob has.  But maybe I should wait for the after-Christmas sale".  Should be a layup.  If she has any doubt about what to buy, she can call Bob.  Right?  And I need a new drill because mine is 20 yrs old and I burned the insulation off part of the cord so it's kind of iffy anyway.  And I just said I am not buying it before Christmas.

It's not that I care that she didn't get it.  I'm happy just sitting together opening presents.  But she missed out on taking credit for it.  I got the drill and every time I pull it out I think how awesome it is.  She could have heard a solid year of thank you's, which is a win for everyone even if I am handing it to her.

Every guy has something like that.[/quote]

Hah.  This is me.  DW is generally good at getting gifts that I like, but somehow if there's something obvious that I mention several times, it never winds up happening.  [/quote]
