He’s done it again

My gran has that exact dressing gown! The pink one from Next. I can see why he didn't buy that to meet your description.
The checked one wouldn't be something I'd choose for myself but it looks warm and cosy and if someone bought it for me I'd make use of it. Mule slippers are not my thing at all though, so they'd go back whichever colour they came in

Just tell him. Say you looked and they really aren't what you want. I always send the links to slippers and dressing gowns because I'm so specific in what I want. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you like. Just tell him and he can send them straight back. No biggie.

I’d be getting dd to ask him what’s he’s bought as mums a tad worried he’s not understanding what’s she’s said. Then DD can say, oh no dad, that completely not her thing, then give DH the right links.

OR you just send him links and if he’s wounded because he knows you saw then try and laugh it off together.

I love 'lumberjack' style pyjamas (and shirts.) They actually sell them for women too!!! I know, shocking right! 😆

These are like mine. (I have pyjamas virtually the same as these 2 pairs here, and a shirt the same as the one pictured.)

What a bizarre thing to say about men who like to see these on women @wesurecouldstandgladioli 😂(What you said at 13.07. I'm not repeating it!) Never heard anything so ludicrous.

The one you've ordered is very nice, but not in anyway could be described as cosy.

Glad it's all sorted now and next year just send links as your description of what you want versus what you want don't really match

I quite like that dressing gown though would be unlikely to actually choose it. The slippers would not be my style as I prefer the type you have shown.

I'd have sent a link if you are really specific about what you want. He isn't psychic.

Actually, not a bad choice! Def had worse... You could just accept them and use them as spares. I asked for a onesie and got a huge dressing gown. It's nice but a bit heavy for in the daytime. I prefer my short one for pottering around but wear the other one in winter, when I get an unexpected door delivery or when the other is in the wash. Spare slippers for hols or at a relative's home.

Honestly it does seem that he's bought what you asked for. A cosy dressing gown and slippers.

If there is a specific thing you want send him a link, or is this a deeper issue than thr presents.

That's amazing.

I now send links to my husband as he is terrible at buying presents for me. NO clue whatsoever. I don't really wear watches - but if I decide to wear one, I have an apple watch and a really brilliant Dolce & Gabbana test card watch to choose from. Despite this, my husband bought me a hideous pale pink diamante strap watch one year. I have never worn any pale pink diamante in my life. I still don't understand what he was thinking.

Every year I tell him not to buy me a massive box of Hotel Chocolat and every year one appears.

OP - TK Max have some lovely sheepskin slippers. Mine last about two years with constant wear and I do nip out into the garden in them.

The one you’ve ordered is nice but it doesn’t look warm and cosy. I have two dressing gowns, one similar to the Next one from M&S, it’s deep red and velvety and the other more like the Amazon one and I rarely wear the red one as it’s just not warm (it’s more stylish but not cosy).

Anyway it’s good you’ve got the one you like but definitely do specific links next time.

The bar is set very low for hilarious it seems.

No, that’s not what I said. The comment was about the lumberjack look, not plaid. Go back and re-read.

You sound difficult because you keep arguing with people who didn’t agree with you.

btw I’m a brand snob and from your brief to your DH I would not understand what’s so wrong with the gown and slippers 🙈🤷‍♀️ you were too generic
send him the links FFS and next time be more specific and stop moaning, noone can read your mind and your issues with the presents are not obvious

That’s good to hear. I love check/plaid especially in the winter.

Haven’t you just been deleted on the other thread for your comment about bitchy women? So not ridiculous.

I disagree. I think people are now getting nasty to OP because she actually spoke up.
@wesurecouldstandgladioli

You can disagree all you like but I wasn't being nasty I was giving my genuine OPINION. You seem to be on this thread to cause trouble and stir things up

*No, I didn’t suggest that. You said OP should wear it because he fancies the lumberjack look and I said he is probably gay if he fancies the lumberjack look.

I’ll leave you to your misogynistic little world where women should wear what men fancy and not what they’re comfortable in.*

This is totally ridiculous!

It’s horses for courses isn’t it? Personally I have no problem with the print as rather than lumberjack I see winter Scottish castle vibes with open fires and hot chocolate 😁 it’s cosy looking. I get that it’s not your taste but if you hate check/lumberjack so much you should have said. Just because he hasn’t seen you in that pattern doesn’t mean he would deduce that you hate it (unless of course you’ve previously drummed it in to him).

You are homophobic for suggesting someone is gay for buying their wife a checked dressing gown. The misogynist here is you suggesting only men like plaid? I’ve reported you. Ps I wear plaid all the time and my DH loves it!

Wow, this has escalated!

Anyhoo, @Soshitatgifts I am glad you will get what you prefer now. I also preferred what he got originally though (Sorry!)

I think YABU. Don’t expect him to mind read, I think they look fine, as would many others but you want something specific so send him the links.

your poor husband...

Your the one suggesting a man buying his wife/partner a check pattern because he likes it is probably gay. What a strange view of the world. You realise gay people can like all sorts of different things? Well probably not given your post so I'll leave you to your prejudiced little world

I disagree. I think people are now getting nasty to OP because she actually spoke up.
