My husband is going thru health problems and isnt' really thinking of me much lately. That's fine right now, I am okay with that. However, he is not good at buying christmas gifts, I usually have to tell him what I want or push him into getting me something or I won't get anything. okay, that's cool too I guess.I mean we have kids, grandkids and we think of them. But I have bought something for my husband every year since I have known him.Okay, now you know alittle bit about the situation.My husband bought me a bracelet years ago that was broken by the jeweler, they gave me credit to their store. I put an addition to my wedding on layawy and have been paying on it. Now this is my thought.I will pay for the ring. Give it to my husband to give me for christmas. this way, he paid for most of it, it will come from him, I will get to open something for christmas.the part he will like is that he won't have to shop for a gift for me. That will be his gift.

Well aslong as he wont mind i dont see what the big deal is.. thats for u and ur husband to discuss, theres no real answer for us to give u other then talk to him about it, if he likes the idea great, if not, then let him do something himself for u, and if he doesnt, u still have what u bought ..

I think that is fine as long as you are both ok with it. I have been known to tell my husband what to get me so I totally understand why you're doing this LOL

LOL - after getting some strange gifts over the first five years of marriage, I made a huge change in our tactics.Since I do the finances, I would give my husband a dollar figure and he would figure out exactly what he wanted that fit into that figure. Then - I would buy it for him or would give him the cash to buy it on his own. He was happy and I was happy.As for my own gifts, I gave myself a dollar figure and bought them myself. I once had a beautiful ring purchased for our anniversary while my husband was sitting home watching football. But - I called him from the jewelry store and thanked him so much for the present he was getting me because it was exactly what I wanted. I figure that whatever works best is good. It's the thought that counts, but when you get the present you want, that moment of pulling off the wrapping paper just ROCKS!

If your husband is going through health problems, the last thing on his mind is stuff.His gift will be his health and being able to spend quality time with you and his family.

No don't do that !! Because you didn't get anything from him that bracelet was a gift from years ago .He still owes you for this year LOL,and yes he will like it because he didn't shop for it or pay for it hes getting a two for one out of that bracelet ....lolI'm siting hear laughing my butt off ,I thought I was the only one that did things like that or had a husband like that.After 15 years of not getting a Christmas , birthday valentines I finely had it one Christmas.I gave him a list of about 5 thing nothing expensive and told him if you want to keep eating and waring clean clothing I better have one of them gifts under that tree.It worked I got all five ,but that was the only time I get anything....lolI hope he get to feeling better.If that's going to work for you then do it that way...

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. My Mom does the same thing every year and has for as long as I can remember. If it bothers you that much why don't you talk to your children about it. Maybe they could do the shopping for your Husband. You could give them X amount and give them a few ideas of what you'd like and then at Christmas you won't know what they bought, because you gave them a few ideas. That is if they would want to do it. Or maybe even a Grandchild would want to do it. I know if it bothered my Mom, I'd shop for my Dad ( for her ) or my GrandMomma. That's what family does. Right? That's what they are there for, to help in times of need. It shouldn't matter how big or how small. I'm sorry. Let me stop....Good Luck and I hope you have a good Christmas this year.

That is ridiculous. Just tell him that not getting things from him bugs you.
