Anyone else have someone in your life who is impossible to buy gifts for?
My spouse’s birthday is next week and I thought I had the perfect idea to get them a new phone (they’ve been complaining about their old one a lot but haven’t talked about getting looking for a new one much). Fast-forward to yesterday when they mentioned they were looking at the trade-in value of their current phone ($5). If they buy themselves one before next week I’m going to be so annoyed!
I’m like this too. Having enough money to get anything I could wish for I cannot think of a material gift that I would really appreciate. I would already buy it if I could think of something.
Update: I had to bust out their gift early because they were about to buy a used one off FB.
My spouse and I stopped doing gifts for each other 9 years ago. If we do buy a gift, it’s random and not tied to a holiday. It’s definitely tied to us being frugal and not wanting to buy unwanted things. Christmas has always been a weird one because our families are the complete opposite.
