At least he knows what he wants!

I get "let me think about it" up until a few days before Christmas.  At that point he gets what I think he wants or needs because it's already been bought and wrapped.

Quality, how is it that you know so much about that?  :-)

Well that’s funny...DH bought a gun and as soon as he gets back from his work trip he can pick it up.

I let him buy those because they are not something I would go choose. He gets a pass on guns.

I have to take my husband with me to shop for my son, and my son with me to shop for my husband if there is a firearms related purchase in my plans! I can't begin to know what they have or need. I require assistance in that area for sure.

Heck I would buy him a kitchen knife set if he did the cooking. That would be the last thing on my hubbys' list. In fact I wish I could get a list. We are paring down this year though. Merry Christmas.

Men drive me nuts with this kind of stuff!

I've had to start watching my mom too. She will get a bee in her bonnet and buy things I've already purchased for her as well.

I think that's funny and cute.  It sounds like he's trying to figure out what Santa will be bringing him.

I have to buy all of my own presents, and sometimes even have to wrap them.

No surprises on what I'm getting.

Why even bother exchanging presents?

Dec. 26th can't get here soon enough, then we can be done with whole holiday nonsense.

Bah-humbug, indeed!

We have a standing rule in our family...nobody is allowed to buy anything other than Christmas music or movies starting the day after Halloween.

Momma cheats tho...🤫

Your post made me smile @BirdieGal.......One of our Thanksgiving traditions is my reminding the ENTIRE family that between then and Christmas no money can be spent on themselves only on each other.

Whether you are 2 or 92, the rule applies to all.

As an aside, my DH was never a problem.......in all of our years together

the only thing he ever shopped/bought for himself was a wood sawmill !

And, remarkably, when asked what he wanted or needed, he always said

"nothing---I already have everything and more."
