I had a friend do this once, and I was surprised at how much it stung!
Has your SO ever returned a gift you bought them?
-
Nope, I am a great gift giver.
I always know just what he wants. I do return lots of stuff that he gives me. He doesn't mind!
-
No.... but we do have a gift I bought him almost a year ago still sitting in the box unopened.
It's a hammock. I know he would like to put it in our porch but there's no room there right now, and he doesn't want to put it outside because it would get too much wear and tear there. I do like to think it will get used eventually.
-
Nope- he's good like that. I've never returned anything he's given me either.
-
No, but I did get him this shirt that he had gone on and on about for months and then he didn't even wear it! I was pissed.
-
He has not, but like @DigAPony: I get him things that he begs for, and then never uses. For his birthday this year I got him a new bathrobe and every time I suggest he use it he looks at me like I'm crazypants.
-
Pretty much every year. I guess I'm not that good of a gift giver. This year I've pretty much spelled out exactly what I'm getting him-- no surprise but no returns at least. He is the worst- so picky.
@MediaNaranja: I did get him a bathrobe a couple of years ago, because he was jealous of mine, and we both sit around the house in our robes for hours on the weekends. Probably the most used gift I've ever given him. We are big robe people
-
Yes, he's had me return things for him! But I have definitely returned his gifts too, so we're even!
-
all.the.time.
I've resorted to just flat out asking him what he would like. He's crazy picky and is not afraid to tell you what he likes and what he doesn't. -
@Foodnerd81: I got it for the exact same reason! He always says "you look so cozy, I'm so jealous!" Uhh, apparently not jealous enough to actually want to use it!
-
ummm not really. he almost returned a jacket I bought him. I bought it knowing he wouldn't love it, but that he SHOULD because wasn't initially open to my fashion expertise lol it grew on him and now he wears it all the time
but I have returned gifts he bought me... I hope he doesn't mind - he doesn't say that he does but I'm sure deep down he is a little hurt?? idk.. our first Christmas together was a total bust hahaha.
-
No, but there was a couple times he should have. I bought him a shirt for Christmas one year and it was too big. I lost the receipt so he couldn't exchange it.
-
Yes, all the time b/c he's ridiculously hard to buy for. I'm talking, he'll say he wants something and in the weeks leading up to his birthday/Christmas, he buys it for himself!
In fact, I'd say he probably returns more presents than he keeps from me.
Last year i threw a FIT because my ONLY presents were from Victoria's Secret. He didn't put any thought into it at all. I was super bratty. And then he went out and bought me a new umbrella, a hat and a scarf too. So that was good.
-
No, but I regret buying him the Xbox and kinect.
-
Never! I don't think I would mind!
-
Nopes. He does have a gift that he doesn't wear though. Hahaha. It's not his fault though. The store gave me his size, but in regular when I ordered it in big and tall.
-
Is that friend mrsbee? Hahaaah
P's never returned anything I got him. -
Nope. I'm a great gift-giver for DH. However, I have had him return something he bought for me
-
a few different times, but I wasn't offended. He is a unique combo of picky and unwilling to say what he wants, so my gifts are stabs in the dark based on what I think he could want. Last Christmas I got him new sunglasses, and he loved the idea, but exchanged them for the ones he wanted. Etc. I figure I'd rather he tell me and get what he wants than settle to keep me happy.
-
No. We wouldn't ever do this (not that I judge people who do, but we're both so sensitive and know the other is too!).
I always know just what he wants. I do return lots of stuff that he gives me. He doesn't mind!
