To ask if you’re happy with your DH gifts ?

[GaaaaarlicBread]

I’m feeling sad as I’ve read So many posts from people saying they’re disappointed, or DH’s haven’t bothered etc and they’re having a shit time.
Have you received everything you asked for ?

DH has been very good this year and more festive than ever knowing we have a little one the size of a poppy seed inside me currently ! I think that’s helped lol
DH is doing all the cooking as I can’t bare the smell but I’m going to try my best .
I’ve been asking for 6 years for cow girl boots (something i have always wanted), but still awaiting those 🤣 but other than that I’m happy and hope you are too!

DS is 13mo so minimal presents, basically from family.

I got a cafetiere - which I asked for- but a very pretty one.

He got Bill Bryson books, which he asked for.

Both happy!

He went out to the shopping center on his own and bought me some nice bath bombs and some fancy flavoured hot chocolate. Not something I would have bought for myself, but that's kind of the point of presents I always think... My husband will now take the baby and insist I have some nice long hot baths to use the bombs in over the next few weeks, which is a lovely thought as I've had a rough time of pregnancy/c-section/clingy newborn over the last year so I've not really been able to have them. So the future thought is worth more than the present, if that makes sense? It was very thoughtful I think.

Couldn't be happier, lovely, thoughtful, well chosen gifts, including a Fitbit versa 2, tickets to phantom of opera, lots of noem smelles and a beautiful painting i had admired. We tend to spoil each other at Christmas.

Nope. I asked for two very simple and inexpensive things.

He bought me two pretty expensive things I neither want or need

It's sad there's people out there disappointed.
I got pj's this year and I got my OH a top..
It's not e2allt about the presents. It's about spending time together, eating nice food, having a few drinks.
Materialistic.

No, my presents were lovely. Not extravagant but exactly the sort of thing that I like.

I feel so sad for people whose partners make a point of showing their contempt by deliberately buying presents that they know won't be liked.

Love my presents. Just what I wanted a subscription to blind date with a book and a beautiful new frying pan.

The only thing I "asked" for was good quality chocolate money (he obliged with hotel chocolat. I had mentioned some posh skincare stuff was running out a few weeks ago and he's bought new, plus "from the kids" a personalised gift with my favourite picture of them on. He also got a slightly random pressie relating to hobby project I have talked unrealistically about for years but never done.... it was thoughtful & considered but im not sure I've time to do it atm. Overall I think he did really well. Especially given that i struggled a bit this year and had to get him relatively boring stuff he asked for.

The gifts are a bit underwhelming - I’ve bought more and spent a lot more on him, but he hasn’t done it to be malicious he’s just not good at present shopping. He makes up for it by being generally lovely and bringing home bunches of flowers throughout the year. So whilst the presents are a bit meh, I’m thankful for DP this Christmas.

No, and I hate that I am feeling ungrateful about my gifts.

My presents include:
Nail polish remover...I don't really wear it.
A box of tissues
Terry's chocolate orange
Deodorant
Face wipes

Actually I feel sad that he's put very little thought into it, and I wish I could convince myself that this is not the beginning of the end.

Absolutely delighted. Dropped no hints either

Yes. He got me a lovely print with a list of special dates for us on it and he included the baby we lost which meant a lot to me.

Yep! Really thoughtful gifts, some I asked for some surprises, all very much thought about. Feel very loved and appreciated.

I'm feeling very lucky, one of my presents was a lovely notebook from DH. He's written two beautiful poems for me inside, with the promise of adding one every month. What a softie.

We agreed beforehand that we would ‘gift’ each other a holiday later in the year. He gave me perfume, chocolates and a cosy hat for our Venice trip next month

For once actually yes. He is usually awful at gifts and will actually just hand over the cash or come with me and I chose . However this year he has outdone himself .
I only wear one item of jewellery religiously and that is my late grandmothers bangle she had inscribed with her own handwriting with a childhood nickname and a small message to me on . He went and found god knows where two bangles that complete the set the one had originally come from . And on the one put his own message on . I was genuinely very touched and embarrassed myself by crying infront of our whole extended family !

I'm very happy with what DH got me. Lovely gifts and fun gifts.

Delighted! My first Christmas with him and no lists exchanged. The boy did good.

Even better is that he loved my gifts that I thought about loads.

That is the best gift of all.

We got married this week and I’m also 8 weeks pregnant after many years of unsuccessful ttc so I’d have been happy with a lump of coal to be honest.

We agreed to just do a little stocking with some sweets or whatever for each other this year, which he did but also got me some perfume as a surprise so I’m very happy yes.

Some hot choc that I asked for, and a lovely photo frame with 3 pictures of me and DD, us and DD, and another of me and DD. Not the kind of romantic glitzy gifts of yore but very thoughtful so I'm very happy with it.

We don’t do gifts to each other, we get lots from others though. We have done a token gift from the baby to each other instead (eg favourite chocolate).
We ended up buying crap otherwise and money tight now with mat leave.

We spend a token £20 each on each other. Very happy with my book and chocolates.

I’m happy, some nice pj’s and a nice jumper. We also started doing stockings for each other a few years ago so got bath stuff, choccies etc in that

Very happy. We bought for ourselves this year.
