bluester - like many people on this thread, I'm ok without the gifts - giving or receiving. But the important thing is that YOU don't seem ok with it. So you need your partner to step up, or you need to find a partner who will appreciate you in this way.

sometimes we do gifts, usually I get flowers, cook a nice dinner or go out, nothing elaborate. this year though it's guns. and his was expensive. We just decided to list them as valentines gifts this year. Happy Valentine's Day sweetie, now please don't kill me with the gift. lol well the same could be said for the last few Christmas gifts we have gotten each other...first year i got a compound bow, he got a P380, the next year he got a cross bow.... though he blames me now for spending far more than he normally would on a rifle. and it's my fault he likes expensive wine now too since i brought some back from travel with me. here honey, whiskey and a new gun!!!!! combo for a good night!

I can very rarely surprise my husband with a present bc the things that he likes are over my head. I know nothing about stamps or coins or computer and other technology parts or tools. I did get him a chainsaw for V-day two years ago, but I called the shop that my husband deals with and talked to his guy and asked for help. My husband was sooooo surprised when he went to pick up his old saw from being repaired, and instead got a brand new one. My husband also thinks I am very hard to shop for. Somewhere between our second and third kid, I got a set of very expensive cookware as a surprise. He also got me an expensive ring one year, but it was returned bc I just couldn't see spending that kind of money at that point. He was also going to surprise me with a trip for my big birthday a few months ago, but he knows that I couldn't just get up and leave, I would have to do a lot of planning for kids, etc. So, he told me about it. While I LOVE surprises, they don't have to be anything big. Bring me my favorite sushi and I am as happy as can be
