ArcticCrusher Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 My wife always tells me she does not want anything, so I don't buy her anything. Then she complains after that I did not get her anything. This year once again don't buy me anything, I don't need anything. This time I think she really means it.

hayward Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Bought my wife a washing machine for Christmas a while after we moved in together out of school before we were married. I felt bad because she was carrying everything 300 ft. to the neighbor's house all the time using their's, so thought it was a great idea. Man that didn't go over good at all, specially since she thought she was really getting an engagement ring that year. Yeah I'm not the shopping type.....way too practical.

Before our first Christmas my wife said don't ever buy me a appliance for Christmas or birthday! She meant it. We have been married for almost 37 years. its always jewelry or Coach bags and never gift certificates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first year I was dating the ol lady I bought her a tool set.... ... and she loved it actually. We aren't doing presents for each other this year. Instead putting money towards our trip to Mt Valin snowmobiling. I actually have to stay at nice lodging with her instead of a seedy motel so it's gonna cost more.

XCR1250 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Wife & I don't exchange gifts, buy when we need something. I bought her a $12,000 ATV in August so that's enough..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I usually just buy what we want then wrap it for something to give ourselves. She's "giving me" some new tools. Not sure what I'm "giving her". I'm sure I'll find it stupid and expensive though. It's pretty much been all about our daughter since she was born. Just about done with her list. Spoiled brat! Gotta pick up some extra goodies for our pups this week and a prime rib roast for us and that should do it! Damn cats have pretty much made our tree look like haggard ass so can't wait to get rid of that shrub after Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here , but I got her a high dollar vacuum. 25 years later it is still brought up every year. I'm the same way I like getting practical gifts, like tools, work boots, gloves. I have a hard time spending money on jewelry and I am done trying to buy her any kind of clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
