Why are men such twats about presents?

[Caroligula]

Direct lift from a post on another thread (am I unreasonable?)

But why?

My worst one was a Delia Smith Christmas book. Someone else I know got a Dyson.

WTF? Post your bad presents here (I know this has probably been done before, but it is christmas)

my dh is not twattish but annoying - he wants definitive ideas for presents - pref i buy them then he wraps them and i can't have them till xmas... if we go shopping together everything i see then say oh i would like one of those - from sept onwards he will say ok get it now you can have it for christmas... i would like the odd surprise. i probly sound like a spoiled brat but i haven't got extravagent tastes it is usually things like books or cd's or last year a pair of boots as i needed some more. this year i will get an iou as we will buy a camcorder in the sales - that is something we both want to have, to film the kids etc. my camera is kaput. but somehow it has become my prezzie - oh i am moaning, incoherently sorry i am a lucky bitch really so i should shut up

all i am saying is i would love my dh to make me something and give it to me - whittle a lovespoon, or make a mix tape something personal and thoughtful and a surprise

a funny article in teh ST

god i sound like a saddo plz ignore my post

No, I'm with you, SuburbanCranberryetc - my DH will not get that I mean it when I say "nice surprises"..
