So, are you the sort that likes to wait for the surprise of your presents, or do you too send your wife off to the tip with the old guttering while you rummage through all the carrier bags?

Pretty useless at waiting for surprises

And I generally provide a list

After years of disappointments Mrs ddc gives me a list for her birthday

For other people she uses the joint credit card, though now shows me what "we've" bought (after an embarrassing Christmas when I said to her mother "ooh, that's nice, who bought you that?" Only to be told "You did, don't you remember buying it?" )

When I was with the ex, the only thing I asked for was a bottle of JD and a chocolate orange, anything after that was a bonus and was willing to wait for the surprise. Some were lovely , others less so

I miss having someone to buy presents for as I used almost an entire roll of wrapping paper and sellotape for each present and hid them

Life would be easier if everyone had an Amazon wishlist.

Ahhh bless, she's just come back and gone to hide them upstairs so I can't see them.

(Soooooo much trouble )

On the bright side, I may not be needing much make-up for the Hallowe'en avatar challenge...

(Fingers crossed fresh raspberry mille-feuilles will placate her)

I was dreadful as a kid, always rummaging in the backs of cupboards to see what I might be getting for my birthday or Christmas.

I'm a little more restrained now

Is this a subtle way of getting someone to shoehorn the Christmas word into a thread?

You don't give to receive obviously but after giving my friend a really great birthday present in march I was a bit let down with the crap perfume she gave me for mine.

I'm not fond of surprise presents as both the giver and the receiver need to be attuned for it to work. I am rarely on the same wavelength as others, even those closest to me.

Always like the surprise.

As children we'd be told where the presents were and not to go in there. And none of us did

"What surprise new socks! "

So, after struggling for days matching the colours of the random multi-coloured stripes on my new socks to the colour of my pants and shirt, Mrs ddc has just admitted that she bought them deliberately to mess with my head.

Revenge for your unreasonable birthday cake demands

Won't do that again will you?

Next year I'm going to insist on striped Smarties - that ought to keep her quiet for a bit...

I actually thought it would be easier as you could just pick the first pair out of the drawer and wear em!

Either that or you'd ask me to take them back.

Mrs DDC

PS

Striped smarties, omg, good job he's old enough to have forgotten this by next year. (I hope)

I've recently told people to spend more on my nieces rather than give me stuff as I don't need anything. That backfired as now I receive money equivalent. I don't think my family quite understood what I meant

Poor fellow, maybe perhaps you should purchase handcuffs and each year Mrs DDC buys you presents that aren't to your satisfaction, you handcuff her somewhere to think about what she's done
