[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband just stinks at gift giving.  I'm honestly not materialistic but his lack of gift buying efforts bums me out each year. 
Last night i know he tried to find something on Amazon.  He told me today he doesn't know what to buy me.  He was going to get a robe or pajamas. 
I don't need or want either.  I have more pajamas than i know what to do with.  I got 3 robes over the past 2 years from my mom and MIL and gave them all away.  (how many robes does a person need?)

In 10 years of marriage he has never given me a piece of jewelry.  I would LOVE jewelry.  I have told him such.  We have the money.  He just doesn't want to put in the time or effort it would take to find something.  I found something I liked this year.  I spontaneously tried it on.  He knew about it but didn't act on it.  It's no longer available.

I'm okay with all of this but part of me is just bummed out.  I want to feel cherished and like he cares enough to buy me something special.   Anything.  He could buy me ANY jewelry and I would be happy but he just doesn't.  It's not the even the item that would mean something--it's the act of purchasing.

okay, vent over.  I just told him not to buy me anything which I do at least every other year when we go through this whole song-and-dance again and again.   Christmas is about our kids anyway.

My friend's husband gave her a shoe rack for Christmas once.

this kind - She had to assemble it herself.

She should be grateful he didn't give her an iron and an ironing board! :P :P[/quote]

Wow!  She is really good because I could never have put that together and it would have gone for $1.00 at the nest yard sale.  [/quote]
