SO not getting you anything for Christmas but expecting stuf

posted 19th Dec
Is anyone else in this situation?

My SO decided that since I bought a camera that I had been saving up for (it was a cheap one anyway) that that was his Christmas present for me   Gee thanks.

But since November he has been talking about all the stuff he wants for Christmas. He also wanted an Adventure Time drawing (he's obsessed) and I have been spending a lot of time trying to make it.

I know, I know. It's not all about the gifts. But he hasn't spent any time thinking about a gift or even bothering to have an idea about what I might like or even something he might do for me KWIM?

Mine keeps asking what I want, then when I tell him he tells me "I'm not getting you anything, because you won't like it". I've told him 3,00000 times that that's fine, but he keeps doing it.

This is my SO and I. He loves recieving gifts, and dictating what I buy for myself to suit his needs... He hasn't been very good this year, so Santa got him coal.

My husband and I have a rule not to get each other anything except stocking stuffers. It's actually more fun that way. I love to see all the little stuff that makes him think of me. And we get to spend that money on our son and soon-to-be-daughter instead.

It's not really the same thing but I got dh nfl tickets so now we can't afford for him to get me a gift. I got 2 tickets so they are sorta for me as well but I'm not as into football as him so its really just his present. I better get an awesome birthday gift in may

That's exactly what we do!

Except the one year he bought us 10 foot long stockings...That kind of elliminated the whole small gift element.

And we're allowed two things that are too big for a stocking. Nothing more than that.

If you have the time just do it.

I have told my SO a million times many different things that I want and he still said he needs to go shopping, he also needs to bring DD to get gifts for his family, I also think they (my dad and my mom) may have got me a Kindle Fire, so maybe he was just going to give me money for that.

I told him the best present he could get me is to clean and shampoo our bedroom.

We are the same way. We both feel Christmas is for the kids.

Those are great ideas.

I just find it so hard not to buy things that make me think of SO, like some cologne and DD got him a calendar, and I got him a hitch for his pickup. I wouldn't go off and spend hundreds on him ever. I spent like $80.

I said SO could just clean the house for me or make breakfast.

But this is the guy who won't have lunch unless I make it for him so I know it won't happen.  

I think Christmas is for the kids too but after all year of doing a crap load for him I would like just a little something that showed he thought of me KWIM? Like, flowers or just get a movie and sit down and make me a cuppa instead of me making him a cuppa, rubbing his feet/back, making him food, etc
