I never ask for a list

December 2, 2008

My hubby cracks me up. Every year I have to sit down to make him a list of Christmas gift idea’s for me, and never once in the 10 1/2 years we have been together have I ever asked for a list. Personally I think he is pretty easy to buy for, but he thinks the opposite. Without giving away what I got him, in case he snoops the blog, I got him some sports gifts, some clothing items, a few collectibles and a few things that may go with a few bags of popped popcorn! It is so hard for me to literally sit down and write out a list of what I want. I am always the last person I think about when it comes to gifts honestly. I love to give gifts to others, I love it, I think of have a knack for it sometimes. Yes I do spoil myself with certain things like my soaps and lotions, candles and tarts, but for me those last two things are a staple household item so I don’t consider that a just for me item!! Come to think of it my hubby uses the other stuff too once in a while! I can tell you this much, I don’t consider a new frying pan that someone is going to fry bacon in for breakfast a gift for me to put under the tree!!! Now I have to put my thinking cap on!

I loved this post.

This is my first time here by the way

Your post reminded me of a Christmas when my husband gave me a ton of crayons, markers and colored pencils. I had no idea why he thought I needed a 100 markers… but I still use them, and every time I use one I think of him and smile.
