I was chatting with a mate earlier about what I had bought my wife for Xmas and he mentioned that him and his wife don't buy presents for each other.
His reasoning was a cost one - fair enough to an extent - and that they mutually would prefer to buy something they can both appreciate (not necessarily enjoy) such as something for their house.
This got me thinking...
Is this normal?
I wonder if his wife actually feels the same way as he puts it across?
Does any of you approach these things in a similar way?
For me.. I think it's part of our own romance but even then I would have to admit in the past few years its become less about knowing each other and finding an appropriate surprise to now being more like "Whattaya want for xmas?"
