Cute, but I feel sorry for all those poor men. I'd much rather they just let me do it by myself while they go hang out at a sports bar. No reason to make them miserable, and in turn make me miserable for having to drag them everywhere. :shrug:

But I tend to prefer shopping by myself anyways.

Ummm yea.........I remember that whole thread about your views on marriage. You probably think you're cute by giving your wife a vacuum for Christmas because "she loves to clean my office" or "allowing her to buy all of the presents for your side of the family" because she "enjoys" it. And you'll slip a few extra bucks in her purse so she can treat herself with a latte from DD.


I'll take the crazy cat lady status over that. Thanks though! :howdy:

Also, I wouldn't call this LOVE. I'd call these men control freaks who are trying to monitor how much their significant others are spending and who they're spending it on. They want to be with you so they can try and talk you out of purchases. These are all pictures of men who have given up.









You really think your mom needs that $150 Michael Kors watch??!! .............................OH WOW BABE let's get MY mom this awesome $250 flat screen! I shop enough and have had enough retail experience to know how these things work. :coffee:

Control freaks? Monitoring the partner's spending? You are so wrong on those assumptions. Does any of those men in the pictures look like they're hovering their significant other's purchases? I think not and were bored to death, so bored that they're contemplating what the chinese guy did a week or so ago. I can only speak for myself but I would rather stay home while my wife goes shopping and not bombarded with those silly questions like "do I look fat on this?" or "did you just look at that girl?" I would rather stay home, do something productive or just drink beer and watch some sports. I know some women think of shopping as sports, see who could score the most "sale" items.

Just like they say, be careful what to wish for! You keep whinning about not having a new vacuum and then you'll get mad when you finally get one? And by the way, shopping is shopping right? Doesn't matter who it's for, it would still get you a shopping fix! Don't you want to be free of any financial responsibility that comes with marriage and buy what ever you want, as long as you don't drag me shopping? By the way, she likes Starbucks which is such an overprice crap they call coffee. Columbian from Wawa all the way for me!

Actually i made that mistake once within the first few years of marriage. We actually needed a new vacuum cleaner. I also bought her other stuff. However, i did learn that Christmas, never, never, never buy your wife a household type appliance for Christmas ever again. PS we both used the new vacuum cleaner.

My wife's got it figured out - If it's a trip to get something, I'm in. If it's a trip to browse, don't even ask; no sense in both of us being miserable while she's shopping, yeah- I've got that knack

Some women prefer practical gifts to useless baubles. It all depends on the woman.

I got pots n pans, new stone ware dishes, etc for Christmas. For Valentines I got cast iron skillets. I love them!

Under the tree right now there are 2 small packages that I am not sure what they are. Size of jewelry boxes. When I saw them my first thought was, "It better not be jewelry." then I picked them up, very heavy, jiggles a little bit. I think they are .223 rounds. I will see if I am right when every one is up.:evil:

Gift giving really depends on the person. I like things I can use. If I can't use it, it's useless. I don't like wasting money. I would much prefer tings I need or will need versus foo-foo gifts.

P.S. I HATE shopping with my husband. I prefer to leave his butt at home.

I'm more for practical gifts myself! I've gotten pots and pans and kitchen things many Christmases and this year I'm getting new tires :yahoo:

My point was about his previous thread about marriage and he just seems like the kind of guy that'd buy her a new vacuum bc he thinks she enjoys cleaning the house. That condescending attitude annoys the chit outta me! Don't buy me a cleaning tool unless I specifically ask you! :buddies:

My husband and I have an agreement - no household appliances for presents unless they are specifically asked for.

I told my husband every Christmas for YEARS that I didn't want a breadmaker. The year I figured that he knew by now that I didn't want a breadmaker, he got me one. :-/ That's when I explained to him The Rule.

I have asked for appliances - last year I wanted a Cuisinart Griddler. He schlepped all over trying to find one (I guess it was a hot gift last year).
