[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get this.  Totally.  It's not about being selfish and wanting gifts; it's a love language thing.  The people that I love, I LOVE to shop for.  Finding something perfect for that person means a ton.  One of the best gifts I have ever recieved was when a friend bought a 5 lb bag of gummy bears and picked out all the pink ones, since that's the only color I like.  I was so touched that she took the time to try to fulfill a silly whimsical preference of mine.  With my DH, I gave fair warning.  I told him up front that I am a present person and that it is a big deal for me to feel loved.  I tell him every thanksgiving that I am starting to shop for his gift and remind him that it doesn't have to be big or expensive, just somethig that shows he thought about me enough to choose something that I would actually want or need.  Last year, my gift was that he took my old watch to get the battery replaced--a chore I had been forgetting for months.  It was perfect and only cost him $10.  It is literally the thought that counts.[/quote]
