[quote=Anonymous] I'm in the same boat. Except I'm a DH  whIth a DW that is a terrible gift giver.   I do all the shopping for the kids and extended family so she has no one else to really worry about except for me in terms of giftgiving.

I typically ask her for things that I need, like a new winter jacket, or dress shirts for work.  I try to make it easy for her, by sending her links  or photos to things that I like.  I never ask for anything too expensive.

Each year she waits till the last minute to shop and often buys the first thing she sees.    One year she hinted that she got me a mountain bike that I've been drooling over for years.  Come Christmas day, no mountain bike, no get it all.

On the other hand, I keep mental notes of things that she's mentioned that she needs or would like. Then on her birthday, our anniversary, or Christmas I  give her one of the things she mentioned throughout the year.  I also surprise at  throughout the with a trip to the spa, or a massage.[/quote]
