Is your guy easy to shop for?

I drop hints quite frequently. This year I'm figuring everything I get will be Twilight Eclipse related. Last year he bought me the Twilight soundtrack.. and recently I've borrowed the New Moon and Eclipse soundtracks from the library and dropped hints that I loved them and wished I owned them. I also keep saying that I want to own all 3 movies because thus far we've just been renting. I also really really want the Scene It game.. I have the Pirates of the Carribbean Scene It and also the Harry Potter Scene It.. so I guess I'm starting a Scene It collection! I'll be happy if I get a few of those things. So what exactly is it that you want so I know what hints to give your hubby? (HINT HINT.. GERTY'S HUBBY COME READ THIS!!)

Actually I emailed him a list, he seems to pay more attention to that. I mentioned some sewing and quilting related tools. I really want more things like work done on the house, things you cannot wrap. I am probably harder to buy for than he is. Of course sometimes he finds me things I did not even know I wanted.

I can be difficult as well. This year I made it easy.. I want anything related to the Twilight series... the books, the movies, the soundtracks, the Scene It game.. whatever. He knows how bad I want these so I'm hoping I get most of what's on that list. Most years though I'm not so easy. Movies, books, or cd's that I want I usually buy for myself.. or figure why bother since I can get them from the library for free whenever I feel the need. What I usually want and need is clothes, but I can't let him pick those out for me. I have to be there to try it on and ensure it's my style and fit. Just because it looks good on the rack doesn't mean it will look good on me! He didn't do bad last year.. I was all about work out stuff, and he got me some work out clothes and the Wii Fit (which I never use, LOL) and some cookbooks. One year he bought me like 10 different things from Bath and Body works and wrapped them seperately and that was like all I got. I thought that was a bit tacky.. they should have been wrapped together.. or maybe in a set of 2 or something, you know.

It's nice when they make it easy on us. My hubby loves ANYTHING I give him.. no matter what it is. But I'm a pretty good gift giver too. I'd never get him something he wouldn't like or find a use for.

Mine likes music but doesn't have a working CD player in his car (that's the only time he listens to music). He doesn't ever read. Of course chocolate.. but that's going in his stocking!

That's what I get mine too, not because he likes it but because he needs it! The kids and I always get clothes before he does.. so he usually gets clothes at every holiday. Though I still want to get him at least 1 thing that isn't a necessity.

I'm sure you could find them online if you wanted them that bad.

Oh you poor thing! Thanks for making me feel even luckier to have my guy, LOL. No matter what I get him he's greatful. I am usually only capable of getting him necessities.. like new slippers because his old ones are worn, new jammies cause his old ones are ripped, new work pants because he only has 2 pair.. etc... Earlier today he said that I always get him so much.. but I don't feel like I do.

You are so thoughtful Cynthi.. I would think he would have loved those gifts.. I wonder why he didn't. I'm reminded of a story that you'll probably love to hear! My husband is not very good at giving gifts. He does try to get me things he thinks I'd enjoy, but it's usually not what I was hoping for so I get a little disappointed. For instance one Valentine's Day when I'm hoping for a romantic gift, he buys me a computer game... which would have been great on another holiday but it is not a romantic gift! I'm also usually extremely disappointed at my birthday because it falls in the same week as our anniversary, mother's day, and my oldest son's birthday. Needless to say the oldest son's birthday is more important than the other holidays so I rarely get any gifts for myself that time of year. Anyways, one year on my birthday he comes home from work carrying a rather large box all wrapped up. He comes in and gives it to me. I sit there staring at it, not knowing what it is.. but I did not want to open it. He keeps pressing me to open it, and I say "No, I already know I'm going to hate it, so I don't want to open it." I was really hoping for a digital camera that year.. I'd been telling him almost daily that I wanted one, but I also knew we couldn't afford it so was expecting disappointment.. then he brings in this large box which obviously cannot be a digital camera, so I was already depressed. Well he really wanted me to open this gift.. so after an hour or so of attempting to put it off.. he finally convinced me to open it. So I open it up and see that it's a Photo quality printer. Well I already had a regular printer.. so I was definitely disappointed! Until... I notice on the box that this photo quality printer comes with..... A digital camera! Probably the best gift he's ever given me! (aside from the kids, LOL)

Actually I asked about shopping FOR him.. not him shopping for you.
