My husband has always wanted to pick out what we get our youngest son for Christmas and birthdays. He usually gets things he can play with to..that might have soemthing to do with it

We’re more like your first example. I do pretty much all of the gifts. The only exception is that we get my daughter’s gifts together, which is nice. I don’t mind it though. I really enjoying blessing people with something I’ve noticed they’d like.

Sadly, I’m definitely not happy with our situation of my having to shop for my husbands family. Two of his brothers I do not know well, still. His other brother only really likes computer hardware upgrades that I do not understand. His mom…she just puts the gifts I get into a closet or gives them away. It is absolutely the most stressful part of Christmas for me. My own family is simple-we draw names with the exception of everyone getting my mother a gift. ————————————————————————–

You guys sound like my husband and I. I keep thinking that I’m supposed to buy stuff for his parents. So I pick something. Then he picks something. But we don’t have enough money to buy two things! So we have to pick one!

Jason – true the physical act of shopping is so much easier these days! But the ideas are usually the challenging part for me so I’m happy that I don’t have to guess at what his mom might like.

Jennifer – sounds like a great way to do it!

Jessica – Truth be told he does cook a little and clean some. He mostly does sous chef duty because he isn’t a great cook. He often does the dishes. And he does his own laundry. He is a keeper!

My husband and I do all of our shopping (or deciding what to get) together. We both love doing the buying and the giving together.

With the advent (heh) internet shopping, a lot of this is moot. My wife and I discussed what we were getting everyone, and just ordered it on-line. The one exception was (ironically) for my mom, and that just wouldn’t be delivered on time. My wife picked it up from the store because she happened to be going there that day.
