Then, Slava got hoem from work and gave me a beautiful card, a bottle of Cuevero Margarita, and a memory chip for my phone so I could do MP3 music...only to learn that my phone is not equipped for this. :( Again, he falls

"The givee accepts the gift with grace and thanks." I do, and I have. I'm not an ungrateful bitch, really. Does it make me an awful and bad person that I'm admitting that just this once I truly did not like the gifts and I felt disapointed and let down.

"I realize that it probably kills the romantic ideal of gift giving if your giver gives you something that you *asked* for." No, its doesn't kill my romantic idea. I would have been fine if it was. However, he didn't even get me what I had bluntly asked for, directly shown him, or told him I would like for him to get. Not in an indirect drop a vague hint way either. I clearly have said to him on more than one occasion that "I would like this item for such holiday/gift-occasion." I do clearly communicate these wishes, hopes, and wants to him. Although writing them all down in a list is a good idea.

I don't agree with your statement of, "You're the girl who has everything. I'm betting that you're incredibly hard to shop for." I'm not incredibly hard to shop for, and do not have everything. I'm very simple and realistic in the gifts I do ask for and want. I do not feel that asking for a little forethought or preplanning makes me an impossible bitch to give a gift to. I have and do make an effort to make it easier for him or anyone else. Last minute gifts are alright. However, I just refuse having to go out on my own and buying my own gifts. I just will not.

Update & Thanks

my hubs and I talked about it. We have decided that Kukla's idea of a list would be the best way for us to prevent similar situation againand would help bluntly show hubs what gifts I do want for the occasion. I think he should do one too, but lists aren't really his thing. So, in short he returned said memory chip thingy for the phone and took me to local garden center to buy 2 beautiful hanging hummingbird friendly flowering plants for my deck and plant food dispenser attachment for my hose when I water my big gerden up front. Thanks for the ideas, suggestions, and constructive criticism.
