My DH usually gifts me things I don't want or like but even with all the disapproval over a decade, he never learns :)
I prefer to get perfumes/bags/shoes/dresses/jewellery on my own but prefer getting cookery sets, pans, pot holders, bath room rugs because I don't buy them normally unless they wear out and need replacement and are not usually I enjoy shopping alone :). I also gift him giftcards to Lowes or Home Depot or Retail stores than getting him useless ties/pins or perfumes or watches..

My dearie thinks there is something wrong with me..
Does anyone think like me that personal things need to be chosen by person himself/herself and what family uses should be gifted to MOH or LOH ??

What are your normal gift choices to your loved ones?

Probably my last holiday season in US if RBee is lucky ... Chalo bhaiyya log/behno, give any input or some input... After all, I have to shop for my Aries man :)

Diamonds!

If I have to receive a gift, I would prefer a non-material one; a gifts of time, energy and experience :)

I do not like to give or receive gifts. :) I set the expectations from day1. :)

I prefer gifts that I would not buy myself. Something that is not very useful or really not needed, but like to have. Hopefully something unique, different.
Like the time I got a Blackberry. I already had a mobile (very current). Did not really need a Blackberry. Would not have bought it myself but was pleased to receive it.
Or a new putter. Already have one, but it was differently constructed and so on.

Calistoga near Napa in my beautiful state has some great spas for a weekend get-away like this one: [URL="http://www.lavenderhillspa.com/"]http://www.lavenderhillspa.com/
