“Dunno.”
“Whatever.”
“I don’t need anything.”
Do you get these responses from the man in your life, when you ask him what he wants for Christmas? While it is endearing, it’s also annoying. Surely he must know that he is just making your job of finding the perfect present insanely more difficult?!
Yes, you’ve given him hints about all the wonderful things he can buy you. You may have even given him a list. But him? Nada.
And, being the season of giving, you’ll get him something awesome, of course. Even if you have to break your stiletto heels to do it.
So, instead of tearing your hair out, I’ve put together this list of wonderful items that you can gift your guy.
