He stresses me out when we shop together. He's always hurrying me &amp; trying to make me "pick something already." I can't handle it! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662588 Wed, 28 May 2014 12:09:16 +0000 coopsmama 1662588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love going shopping with my DH, so I'd prefer that. We have a lot of fun picking out clothes that the other finds attractive and splurging on each other. Now, granted, he's a typical guy so the shopping trip doesn't last THAT long but for an hour or two it's a lot of fun. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662586 Wed, 28 May 2014 12:08:39 +0000 kiddosc 1662586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A gift card. I like shopping by myself, otherwise I'm always worried I'm inconveniencing someone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662519 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:49:13 +0000 Caly 1662519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between those two options, I'd prefer us go shopping together. My first option would be for him to shop &amp; surprise me. He's great at picking stuff out for me and usually finds stuff that I usually would have overlooked but end up loving. He's a great shopper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662493 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:39:41 +0000 bunnylove08 1662493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift card and then have him drop me off at the mall. LOL </p> <p>I feel if we both go shopping together we will over spend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662489 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:37:08 +0000 Grace 1662489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like shopping with DH and he generally takes me shopping for my birthday. Next year, I think I'd rather the gift card and DH can stay with LO. I'd have a day of freedom!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662465 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:29:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 1662465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GC, he's a horrible shopping partner!

So I'd prefer a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1662437 Wed, 28 May 2014 11:20:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1662437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Giftcard!

I have an amazon wish list that would provide lots of good ideas for him! I would love it if he would take me shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661670 Wed, 28 May 2014 06:18:14 +0000 looch 1661670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I can think of that would actually be fun for both of us is a visit to a luxury boutique, where they serve you champange while you browse, but we'd not have fun going to the mall, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661662 Wed, 28 May 2014 05:44:19 +0000 Happygal 1661662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both dislike shopping, so a day of shopping together would be zero fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661659 Wed, 28 May 2014 05:31:21 +0000 Anagram 1661659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I prefer to shop alone but this past weekend we stopped by old navy to look for sleepwear for LO and dh insisted I try on stuff too since it was all on sale-- and he ended up buying me two dresses, a skirt, three shorts and a couple of shirts.</p> <p>Had I been alone, I would have bought nothing because i'm still a size up and haven't wanted to buy anything in my current size. But now i'm glad he insisted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661649 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:34:01 +0000 Cherrybee 1661649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd much prefer to shop on my own. DH hates shopping and paces around sighing when I'm trying to choose something! He doesn't mean to be so obvious but his hatred of shopping oozes from his ever pore!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661632 Wed, 28 May 2014 01:27:36 +0000 Boogs 1661632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would prefer him to do the shopping for me, I hate shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661552 Tue, 27 May 2014 21:56:44 +0000 Sapphiresun 1661552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh... neither. DH hates shopping, so I'd never take him with me, and a gift card is so impersonal, and kind of weird when you share finances. But yeah, I think if he just offered to take LO for the day and manage the house completely while I shop, that would be cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661533 Tue, 27 May 2014 21:48:52 +0000 heffalump 1661533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopping day. Or a gift card with a day set out that he'll watch the kids so I can shop. A gift card usually does me no good as I have 2 kids with me at all times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661504 Tue, 27 May 2014 21:21:47 +0000 78h2o 1661504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... last year he took me shopping, but I didn't end up buying anything because I had trouble finding anything that fit well (I was 5 months PP and between sizes) and I didn't want to drag him around all day. So I ended up with no present! I should have had him buy a gift card before we left! :) It still was nice to have time alone with him and we did go out to lunch. </p> <p>This year for mother's day he bought earrings that I don't love... yikes! I can't decide whether or not I should just keep them, or if I should return them for something else that I would wear more often? I am leaning towards keeping them and wearing them just because he picked them out on his own. Sometimes he does great on his own... and in that case, that is my first choice... but when he picks something I don't love, then I wish we would have gone shopping. :) He often takes back things I buy him, so I probably shouldn't be weird about it and should just exchange them, but I feel bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661494 Tue, 27 May 2014 21:11:44 +0000 JessKas 1661494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: haha I have a specific Pinterest for DH.

That's what we did for his birthday this year - I saved up some money and then we went clothes shopping for him and got him a nice pile of stuff. He seemed to enjoy it even though he's not too fond of shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661380 Tue, 27 May 2014 19:46:10 +0000 keiki_mama 1661380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift card for sure! DH doesn't enjoy shopping and I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself if I dragged him from store to store. I'd rather shop by myself in peace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661377 Tue, 27 May 2014 19:41:39 +0000 Smurfette 1661377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661376 Tue, 27 May 2014 19:41:07 +0000 tinyperson 1661376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gift card.

I wouldn't want that. :)</p> <p>But I have asked for a specific item and we have gone together to get that item and he "pays" for it. Like a necklace from somewhere or a purse from somewhere or a dress from somewhere. Something I would never buy unless for a very special reason. Right now I'm using all my gifts for 3 years to get an LV purse (aka I just get a card that says eta to purse) which we will go together and I can pick it out and he will "pay" for.</p> <p>Okay confession... I have already "earned" my LV purse last year but still on the fence on which one to get! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-receive-a-gift-card-from-your-so-or-have-them-take-you-shopping#post-1661169 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:09:45 +0000 sunny 1661169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: you are right, I would love a day where he did my chores and I would go shop myself!
