I understand that this is a bit first world problems however it is bothering me so here goes -
My DP always goes absolutely crazy with buying presents for Christmas/Birthdays. Last year he bought me 50+ presents the year before closer to 70.
They're mostly cheap ish --tat and usually 1 or 2 nice/expensive presents. I've tried to tell him before that its too much but he's really not getting the hint.
I live in a small house with no storage and a lot of what he bought last year sat in a bag in my wardrobe until about June.
I know I sound ungrateful but it's really not that, I would much rather have a handful of nice presents that I actually want than loads that I don't want/need. He bought me 6 ornaments last year, I have nowhere to put these!
he makes a really big deal out of Christmas and always goes to town on presents but then moans about the fact that he's got so much wrapping to do!
How can I tell him tactfully to buy me less without coming across like an ungrateful cow!
