Well that saves the hassle of having to return everything.

I have actually known a few people like that.

The next day: “Oh, honey! It’s exactly what I wanted!”

I’ve done that, but I make him do the wrapping himself.

Excellent. Very thorough. Leaves nothing to chance. Or to Chance (her husband).

A new vacuum cleaner and an ironing board

eliminate the middle man!

keep it up

My second wife had the same thought’s regarding the Holiday’s … Merry Christmas.

“By the way … I was just wondering …

… What did we get so-and-so for Christmas?"

No joke – That’s how my wife & I exchange gifts. We love it!

Hi, Bleeb. Now that’s more like it, compared to yesterday.

Seems a fairly simple arrangement. Now… can you come help me wrap this Bass Boat you got me for Christmas?!

He’s afraid to holiday shop for her. Yes, he’s that famous actor – Noel Coward

Perfect.

Sounds like a great money saver

Saves lots of time. No worries about the return line.

“Oh Honey, that’s just what I wanted!!” Wife:" Yah, no sh$t!!"

And, if she doesn’t like what she got herself, she can “regift.”

Whether you know it or not…..

One way for her to get what she wanted…

I used to do that, but it’s just sad. Now I just sit there with nothing while they all have a stack of gifts. I figure if I get nothing for Christmas they can have a little guilt to swallow. But truly, I really do enjoy watching everyone else open presents… it’s still fun!

That is what my wife did only she waited until I gave her presents, then she returned them and bought her own.

How considerate. He doesn’t have the gift of buying ugly presents himself.

What? No new broom? No dust pan? /S

Don’t get too wrapped up in this Bleeb! Merry Christmas Little Alien Dude and EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

This is what you do when your husband isn’t much of a shopper. Patsnozzle would say, “Gee, I hope I got her something good!” :)

Merry Christmas to all who observe and happy holidays and best wish’s to those that observe something else!

A piece of earth and good will toward gin!
