    this is the exact reason my husband and i dont give gifts.. if he wants something or i want something and its in the budget we just get it.. i dont like postponing pleasure.. so when these holidays come around we're off the hook trying to think of something..

    we do other things as gifts to each other :wink:

    COSIGN. =)

    I was going to contribute but remembered that the forums are Google searchable. I would hate for the offending gift giver to see my post.

    ... something everyone should keep in mind :flowerforyou:

    In that case....

    I think I might get flowers this year...

    BUT I WOULD REALLY REALLY LIKE JEWELERY.


    There we go. :wink:

    I've had my eye on a vacuum at Target for a while now, so I wouldn't mind that as a gift! haha. Or a new microwave, we need a new one! I would have never thought I'd get excited over appliances a few years ago, lol.

    But anyways, me and my fiance got bikes for Valentine's Day, and he got me a new Sims 3 stuff pack. Exactly what I asked for :) I've never really got any bad gifts, I always tell him what I want. lol

    looking forward to reading other replies though!

    My husband is pretty awful about gifts, and by that I mean he doesn't give them, lol, not for my birthday, our anniversary, christmas, nothing. It's very rare I get a present.

    2 years ago on Valentines I got a Tiffany & Co. bracelet (that I very rarely take off)
    Last year...nothing
    This year...a FB post:

    "Oh Happy Valentines Day to my lovely wonderful wife. Even though she yelled at me for having my dress shoes on in the kitchen this morning. She is the best wife ever. When I wake up some mornings with a black eye she comforts me. When I feel sick and nauseous after home cooked meals, she is there for me. She even keeps a hammer under the bed to protect me from intruders! Happy Facebook Valentines day. Wouldn't choose any other woman in the world to off me for life insurance!"
    that's cute

    I got my ex a vacuum cleaner and a note that said "This is so you know your place."

    And I had to leave HER. Go figure.

    my wife had the cd/radio in my car replaced with a "nicer" one. Only problem, the buttons on it are so small, it's almost unusable. Luckily it came with a remote control which has larger buttons. And yes, I use a remote control in my car to change radio stations.......And I've never figured out how to set the clock on it. I've searched the manual and their website and there are no directions anywhere and none of the obvious stuff works for changing the time settings.

    The VAST majority of people should never, I repeat NEVER, purchase anything remotely to do with a car without a professionals help.

    My mother in law got me a clock for Christmas two years ago. Not just any clock, a motion sensor clock with a different breed of cat for each hour, and best of all it has a different cat meow sound for each hour......I am not a cat fan.

    I have a rule, no domestic items as presents... ever! It is a time to be indulgent, and to give a household item as a gift takes the fun out of the occasion imo.

    My nanna is (was) the worst offender for gift giving. She gave my mother a round table cloth (we had a rectangular table) and it still had the op-shop 50c price tag on it. Classy!

    The 'best' one I think I had was from my own dad though, on my 18th birthday I had a card in the mail (late) with a paperweight and a $2 scratchie card inside - AWESOME! :laugh:

    I'm always making sexist jokes to my g/f, mostly because she's a Tomboy(its nothing I do regularly or that I'm proud of) and we have a fun relationship. I got a sandwich for Valentines day once. That was the end of my sexist jokes...

    This made me giggle :) When my Fiance got a new job I was like DOES THIS MEAN WE CAN GET A TUMBLE DRYER!!! dancing around all excited and he just laughed at me, saying that before the baby it was only ever shoes I got that excited about! RUDE!

    :)

    I think the lesson here is: if you have expectations about gifts, COMMUNICATE THEM. I'd much rather someone tell me what they want than have them complain on public forums because I failed to read their mind. :frown:

    The worst ever were some yard flowers he put in a tea pitcher with a Flicka DVD (was actually for my son). He is awful with gifts. He has now stepped up his game to grocery store bought flowers at the last minute that come in an actual vase and maybe a cheap strawberry covered in choc. which I don't eat. Oh men, are so clueless haha!

    My gift for him this year - put all of his faves in a bag for him this year - 24 pack of cold beer, 3 cans of dip (nasty but his fave), 2 cans of peanuts, snickers, M&Ms and an xbox 360 racing game - Strange but he loves it all!!
