Mr. P would always give me power tools.. now I ask you what is a gal suppose to do with those? I learned over the years, thankfully and put them to good use.. Now...sadly now there are no gifts just the memories.. You'll always cherish that small little giggle about the Nintendo DS instead of the boots, camera and perfume...

So for the entire month I opened up a daily gift from him from Victorias Secret. Thong panties,demicup bras,thigh high hose~ you name it!! He had a great Christmas!! Who actually wears this stuff!! He bought so much stuff from them that to this day I get coupons for free stuff!! Then one year he bought me a new couch for my living room. His man who hasn't decorated a room in his life goes to the most expensive furniture store in town and calls me to come down there to see my Christmas present!!! You just have to laugh and I did over my plain brown cough (that we still have to this day) Although it be residing in his "mancave"!!!Trezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309828774094407643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930450728974350296.post-22426643932244071242009-12-29T11:44:17.552-06:002009-12-29T11:44:17.552-06:00LOL!

Sit him in front of the computer and tell him to select from that list. He doesn't even have to leave the house. My daughter has done that the last couple of years. I hope you go buy yourself a camera, cause you sure do deserve one.

I'm laughing at Steve's gift & sharing your pain, as well. He meant well & my Mom always said "Its the thought that counts".<br /><br />One time, for a very <b>BIG</b> upcoming birthday, my DH opened the mail & then handed me a refund check from our insurance co. saying "Happy Early Birthday, Honey....go buy yourself something". Now it was a nice sized check but <i>STILL</i>!!!

It's hit or miss with everyone. Now, you'd think one's spouse would be easy! I just buy my own gifts now and we exchange non-tangibles. This year I asked for 2 light fixtures to be hung and a huge mirror to be hung. He asked for a day completely free of all duties. We were both happy :).
