But, but they are work savers and save the knees

A woman is supposed to get those to do her 'jobs', not as gifts of appreciation, says someone who got a wheelbarrow for MD to make cleaning stalls more efficient. [I actually request it]

Shelley, my saying is: If you don't tell your husband what you want, you'll get a Chihuahua!!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹

I started saying that after I got a Chihuahua for one of my birthdays 🎂 🥳!

Ana, when my husband and I were virtual newlyweds, I found an ad from a jewelry store in our town, and I circled the necklace I wanted, and wrote HINT all over the page. (There were only two jewelry stores in town.). Mother's Day arrived, and he gave me a bracelet from the other jewelry store. We will celebrate 46 years together in June. Now I go with him to the store!!

47 for us in July! Have received some gifts both practical and not. Love them all because I love HIM! ❤️

P.S. He just finished washing my dishes for me.

Don't get me wrong!

The little Chihuahua grew on me!!!

We do however seldom exchange gifts 🎁. We usually just get what we want or need when it strikes us.

We go out for a romantic dinner on special occasions 💐

Same here! Small gifts when needed after so many years together. Every day is a gift 🎁.

Absolutely 💯!

A gift 🎁 to be treasured because we don't know if it will be our last!

Not 'the' dishes but 'my' dishes - not sure how that would pan out today!

The dishes that I was using, not a claim of ownership 🤣 He had already washed the dishes he had used.

Indeed I do! I really lucked out!

So very true. Oh my gosh an extreme gift if you did not ask for it. A live animal, rather than a stuffed teddy . . . perhaps even worse than getting clothing that you don't like and never want to wear.

My inlaws gave me a fancy dress (like that) and a horse blanket. They were very offended when I squeaked with joy over the horse blanket.

Shelley, I have always loved pets! The funny part about it was that I had NEVER expressed that I wanted a Chihuahua 😂 !

As it turned out, Chihuahuas were one of his favorite breeds because his grandmother had one!!!

My favorite dog 🐕 is a cat 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ 😄!

Hilarious. I had assumed you never mentioned a Chihuahua. The oldest default position there is when it comes to giving presents to a family member! Get the person something you'd like.

Yes it is.

That's why I always make my gift 🎁 choices by looking for something like what that person last gave me!!

You and Micheal are so spiritually linked

Really bad for the animal too! Being an unwanted animal or child is incredibly painful.
