View Full Version : hubbys and our xmas pressies
does your hubby know what you want for xmas? do you have to tell him what to get you or does he know and go and get it by himself ?
i had to pick out what i wanted today and then hed go off and buy it,not exciting i know but at least i get something i like.he said i can have it now but i told him to wrap it for me at least
dave dosent have a clue!
i gave him a list this year so he could pick something but in the end i picked out my phone and ordered it while i was here!
i picked my pressie from connor which were some big yetty blue slippers!
i have got a load of little pressies though which i have no idea about
ive told him i dont want them until xmas day,today he got me perfume,boots,a new jacket and lee evans new dvd and doc martin series one on dvd,he also bought me this laptop as a xmas present and he says he gonna get me a few more bits but at least ive chosen all that i do want

very true

problem is half the time they dont know what size you are
My ex hubby never had a clue what to get me... once he asked what I wanted, I foolishly said nothing and that is what he got me!!! I was just doing the woman thing and saying nothing in the hope he would use his imagination and get me a surprise. but no!!!! :angry:

problem with most men.... they have very little imagination when it comes to us women and gifts and the element of surprise. I swear most men are NOT ROMANTICS at heart..:angry:

I think I win the award for the most unromantic man!!.. our first valentine's day he asked another girl if I could BORROW!! one of her roses for the night.. Another valentines day, he got everyone to sign a bday card for me, my bday is in June... He never wrapped any pressies and never got me any surprises
Our first wedding anniversary I put candles all over the house and lovingly carved all the food into heart shapes.. he came home, asked if we forgot to pay the electricity bill, turned on the lights and then proceeded to eat the food without noticing the hard work I did... needless to say, i am no longer married to him :rotfl:

not at all... you need to get something different.. i know it is probably a different bit of jewellery but you know you will get diamonds all the time.. that is not spoilt it is boring after a while

Well here I am. I always try to buy my wife something different and unusual every year. Last year I took her away on a break to NICE, this year we are heading off to Westport for a few days. I buy her flowers for no reason. However on the minus side I dont do housework but on the plus side I love cooking. I have this theory why use one pan when you can use four.
I bought her a chair one year but she wouldn't plug it in.
One year she bought me two nice ties a red one and a blue one. I wore the blue one and she asked me what the @@@@ was wrong with the red one :D

I went to the Argyle Arcade in Glasgow with my husband and picked out a nice diamond pendant. I love the man dearly, but no way do I want him to chose my present - even if he is paying for it!

PMPL - I am all for giving the men in our lifes a list and getting him to choose something off it, although to be fair to my DH he did choose the nicest gift I have ever had all by himself, it is a beautiful wooden music box, that he gave me the night before our wedding :)

Its the thought that counts, but it would be a bit better if they did think (once in a while!!!). One year my boyf got me some hair straightners when my hair is poker straight and could not be any straighter!!!

Exactly Debs, even if they do get it wrong, its not about how much money they spend its how much thought the've put into the gift

The problem my hubby and I have, is that we buy each other stuff throughout the year, so then when it comes to special days, we haven't a clue what to get. I'm useless when it comes to buying something for my hubby - normally it would be some tools or something like that, but now we buy that sort of stuff through the business (great for tax breaks and getting rid of some of the profit :rotfl: ) so now I haven't a clue.......:searchme: HELP!!

My Dad is terrible. He never knows what to get my Mum and just tells her to take the credit card and get what she wants. He even makes her go out and buy the presents for his relatives.

I have to buy my boyf relatives as well, otherwise they would end up with nothing

i do the same , i write his mum and dads cards wrap pressies decide what to get them and then box and send them as well!! i also have to remind him to phone them on their birthdays!
I have to buy my boyf relatives as well, otherwise they would end up with nothing
my sister has to buy her mums pressiees from her stepdad as well!!
We only buy for our immediate family and only small things for my mum/dad - hubby's parents aren't around anymore and I'm not buying for my brother this year.....
I have to restrict it to immediate family i.e. my kids and partner, my mum and dad and my godchild.. I have 25 nieces and nephews and 1 grandnephew and 2 grandnieces so I can't afford to get everyone a pressie
this sums up Hubby and presents
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday.
"I'd love to be eight again" she replied
On the morning of her birthday he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of
Coco Pops and then took her off to the local theme park. What a Day!
He put her on every ride in the park:
* The Death Slide
* The Wall of Fear
* The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster
Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling
and her stomach felt upside down Right away they journeyed to a McDonalds
where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a
refreshing chocolate milk shake .
Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog,
popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, her favourite lolly and M&Ms.
What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto the bed
exhausted . He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly
asked "Well Dear, what was it like being eight again?"
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed . "I meant my
dress size, you f*ckin tw*t"
The moral of this story : Even when a man is listening, he's still gonna
get it wrong.
Awww, bless him, he was probably hoping the right one was in there somewhere lol!

We have always done it though, buy each other and the boys things throughout the year as and when they need it, rather than waiting for a big day. I am just so stuck as to what to get mine, and he has apparently bought me something really special, so I am gonna feel really guilty this year!! lol

ok girls here is a little extra for our male bashing thread :lol: ( it really isn't but alot of us have a bit of a grumble about our THOUGHTLESS ex hubbys or mates or men in our lives in general ..:rotfl: ) I wuvs my guy he can be a doody head like MOST men can be, but in general hes a pretty good guy !!!:)
WHY YELLING AT MEN IS USELESS
When a woman says:
This place is a mess! C'mon!
You and I need to clean up!
Your stuff is lying on the floor
And you'll have no clothes
To wear if we don't do laundry right now!
What a man hears:
Blah-blah, blah-blah, C'MON
Mumble, mumble, YOU AND I
Blah-blah, mumble, ON THE FLOOR
Mumble, blah-blah, NO CLOTHES
Blah -blah, blah-blah, RIGHT NOW
