[quote=Anonymous]I'll let you know once it happens. My spouse is absolutely horrible at gift giving and I don't think I've ever received something from them that felt personal or special. Honestly, I can predict what I'll get each year with about a 75% accuracy by just googling "Best Christmas gifts for husband/dad in 20XX" and noting the top results in the $50-100 range. That's not to say I actually get anything on Christmas because many years I'll get a printout of an order confirmation email that clearly shows it wasn't even ordered until the 23rd or 24th, if I'm lucky they will have at least thought to put the printout in a card.  When I ask why they've gotten me some random gadget, they almost always say something like "lots of guys like this." I've told them many times how their dispassionate and late gifts that are completely divorced from my actual wants and needs make me feel forgotten and even unloved, but there is always some excuse about how busy things were the past few weeks and next year they'll do better.

Dear Santa, all I really want for Christmas is my spouse to get me something that shows they put some thought into it.[/quote]
