To my Dear Husband,
Will you please just do me a favor this year and just stick to the list that I give you? All I really want are some more scented candles (it helps to eradicate the stench you and the dog bring in after you go hunting - and it makes people think I actually cook), tickets to the show that is coming to town, and a new piano songbook. That's all. I don't need some big gift that "is going to make my life easier." Well, unless that thing is a maid. Or a Naked Chef. I hate having to act like what you got me, instead of what I really wanted, is some grand and fabulous thing that I couldn't live without. And that you are some great and manly man for coming up with this amazing gift. IT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED! I don't mean to sound ungrateful; I just want simple things that I know I like. So please just do us both a favor and stick to the list.
--Your Wife
P.S. And I definitely don't need an avocado peeler so please just stop asking me if that's what I want.

And you know that at some point people told him (and most men) to do something "thoughtful" and "personal" and NO gift cards or certificates or items on wish lists in the guise of being helpful. Sigh.
I make a fairly detailed list at his request but invariably he just does his own thing anyway. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one.
Maybe this year I'll tell him I want a full wax job and see if I get a gift certificate for it. I guess that will tell me how he feels about it!
