That sounds JUST like the women in my family, including me. We buy each other cute/funny books or knickknacks instead, although gifts don't mean that much to me. It's better if you go somewhere together for a holiday experience instead. My bf's really good at picking out nice bed and breakfasts, so let him do that to pamper me.
I do the girly thing and knit him cold weather accessories, and he really does use them when it's cold.
This Christmas I'm either going to get him noise-cancelling headphones (he hates traveling because of the noise) or a wallet because his is on its way out. I have this ability to see what people need and then get them that for special occasions, although I usually end up buying gift cards for my parents because they really don't need anything more in their house.
My bf tried buying me roses once, early in our relationship. It was sweet, but after I tried to put them in a vase and a lot of the heads fell off (they were cheap
), I think he got the picture that I didn't care for flowers.
Exactly how I feel about cooking!
