    Utility gifts aren’t what women want. They may need a crock pot but you’ve got to get them a personal gift too.

    I guess she already had a vacuum cleaner and a dishwasher.

    Let me see. She’s a saleslady who calls the gift a little boy gives his mother “romantic.” I would call her “creepy.”

    I’d call him the one who earns the money to buy the glass angel.

    A guy can get her something she needs any time. Birthdays and Christmas are for gifts to make her feel loved/special.

    when my son was younger, about Mikes age, I got a glass angel, house, merry-go-round etc every year for Christmas. I cherished them for years but eventually they all got broken.

    I really hope that Elly asked for that crock pot. Even then, he should add something else to make it special.

    If that’s because you equate ‘romantic’ with ‘Oedipal’, that’s sad.

    She’s using operant conditioning to teach him what kind of gifts women like herself like to get, using the terms women like herself like to hear associated with those gifts.

    I have to disagree with most. If I put a item on my list that’s usable aka a crock pot, or vacuum, pots/pans, then I want them. It’s not really about the gifts that I receive, but those that I give and the time I get to spend with my family. I guess my family has it easy with me, I don’t expect the impossible by requesting they read my mind.

    My honey has given me a microwave, an ice tea maker and an exercise bike. I’m about ready for us to stop exchanging gifts.

    Oh I forgot about the deep fryer!

    I guess I’m difficult, because I never really WANT anything much. I usually get something ‘for the house’ – new curtains, ice cream maker, coffee maker. That’s OK with me!
