Give Me The Good Stuff

What is the worst gift you ever received from a significant other? (By the way, I can’t stand this term so let me know if you know a better one – and I don’t mean partner.) I have received a Dirt Devil. My favorite, though, was when he had my daughter write on my birthday card: Good for one free spa day. Yes, the spa fairy granted me a wish. Who’s paying? I asked. My daughter looked up at me – moron that I am – it’s free silly, she said, can’t you read? Top that.

I’m not really one to look a Gift Man in the mouth, but it’s not rocket science is it? After years of telling my husband exactly what I wanted, I finally broke down last year for Christmas and actually wrote him out a list. All he had to do was take the kids out and start checking things off. It worked. I’m pretty much converted. Except that it sort of takes all the hearts and bubbles out of receiving gifts. What if… he knew exactly what I wanted… but I didn’t have to actually tell him… directly anyway…

Introducing Get In Her Head, the site where you enter all your gift wishes and sizes, then sit back and wait for the good stuff to start rolling in. They even have a cool service where they send emails giving you ideas of thoughtful things to do for your Other. Yes, you can now fake spontaneity! (and ladies, your man can put his info in too, in case you forget that he wants the eight foot plasma TV.)
