But I want to gift- bday and Chanukah
Married many years
The gifts he did like ( ember cup, ice machine ) he pretended were for me lol but ended up using. Others he made me return ( ties cufflinks tools set etc whiskey set books/ sfarim)
He likes to claim he needs nothing and is n truth he prob doesn’t.
The big gifts I wish I could get him ( new Tallis bag , nice watch etc) is too much for me to get without his really wanting it
Money is tight.
Can anyone recommend what they do for such husband ( who also hates eating out and will never use a gift certificate)
is there anything he needs now? like does he need new socks? just get him socks and wrap nicely with a nice card. I need slippers so I got myself slippers. nothing fancy 20 dollars from target. point is I get a gift if something needed anyway tht isn’t really a gift but a need but made it into a gift. can you do soemthing like tht?
Take a nice stationary and write down everything you appreciate about him. Write down what he means to you. Write what he adds to your life. Put the stationary in a box and wrap it up.
Why would you even want to give him a gift if he's not the type to appreciate it? Not all men like being on the receiving end even if they might eventually enjoy the gift. That's why they won't admit they liked it.
