I partially agree, once upon a time my husband bought me stuff he thought I'd like and he would buy me clothes that would not fit or in ugly ass patterns, he once even bought me a snake skin purse
so instead the next year i gave him a list o like 12 different things with sizes price and store, it would still be a suprose since i didnt know which he'd get, well he managed to buy the hings in the wrong color/model, lost the receipts too, couple of valentines day ago he got me this huge heart full of chocolates and the chocolates were disgusting, so much i couldnt fake eating more than a few, ever since he rarely gives me anything
this year he was gonna give me a pandora bracelet so from now on all his gifts would be cute charms related to life events, but due to the cabinets I told him not to get it, I was gonna get him a SodaStream and a couple small gifts
