My husband doesn't say what he wants, but doesn't say he wants nothing either. I'm at a loss. It would be better if he said he wanted nothing. If I ask him what we should do about exchanging gifts he says he doesn't know.

Neither DH or I need or want anything. He is getting a CAPS hat and a sausage rack for his smoker. Grand total, maybe $50. He already gifted me 2 massages from my favorite spa's Cyber Monday sale. He is fussing about something under the tree for me but seriously I am fine and am more excited to watch DD's mind be blown by Elsa-Doll-and-Anna-Doll.

That's what we are doing. Weekend away. Christmas is about the kids, not us buying each other useless crap.


+1. We get enough useless crap from mother and MIL. We have a box full of tacky Hallmark figurines in attic, no matter how many times that I ask not to get any more they just keep coming.

Yours or his?


Underwear for him, because the ones he has are...kind of oxidated.


Got it.

We don't get each other gifts. Money is a little tight. I'd rather use the spending money we have to choose my own book or clothes or gadget so that it's exactly what I want rather than him trying to guess and probably spending too much. For birthdays we try to do a date night or something to enjoy but also don't do presents.

It's made by Kings County Jerky Company and I kept reading good reviews about it. It's tough to find as a lot of places seem to be sold out of it, but I found it here: http://www.withlovefrombrooklyn.com/products/kings-county-beef-jerky-korean-bbq

Another good source for jerky: http://www.montanajerkyco.com/

OP here. Yeah I would. Call it Catholic guilt! I actually love getting socks and he could probably use some. Or new undershirts or clothes in general since he hates shopping and wears things till they are ratty. So maybe I'll go that route- since he won't tell me what would be useful to him I'll just get to choose what I think he needs, haha.


Yes! It frees you to get what you think he needs. Have fun!
