Loved this thread. I have been married since high school -- almost 50 years. For the last few years I've shopped for my principle Christmas present myself. I call dh on the cell and tell him how lucky he is. I just bought.... This year I bought a Scorepal -- not on sale or with a coupon. Went to a jewlery show and let him know he is lucky again. I found a beautiful tiger eye necklace. He is thrilled he is off the hook and I get what I want. He always surprises me with a few things he thinks of himself that are always just perfect. He goes to a Woodworking show in the fall and picks up his presents too. All I have to do is find a few extras. Frankly it is nice to be able to indulge knowing your splurge is covered by the Christmas budget.
