If I could make your spouse give you what you really want for Christmas; what would it be?

Asked by Pandora (32206points) December 15th, 2010

I started to think about what I would really love for Christmas this year and I know its not something my husband would think.
So, I started to wonder how many of us get lavish gifts we really didn’t want and the gift we really want never seems to be available, and not because it was expensive.
So what inexpensive gift do you want from a love one that always seems to be elusive?

I wish I had a bucket full of coupons for a half hour back massage. (Helpful if it doesn’t lead to sex)

I am not allowed to lift items above a certain weight. Medical issue. I am not kidding here, I would love it if he led me out to the garage on Christmas morning and the dreaded corner was cleared. It’s a bunch of his stuff that he needs to sort through. I’m refraining from calling it crap, because I’m sure he can call my stuff crap, too. It’s free and would thrill me.

@Pandora – I completely get you on the back massage thing! Sometimes, a massage is really all you want!

@cak Great answer. I know I would appreciate it if my husband would be overcome with joy if my husband clear out the garage and we could park the car there. Crazy concept, I know. lol

He already gives me what I want, but we would both like to buy our rental condo in Pacific Beach.

A pair of slippers. Every damn year I put “slippers” on my Christmas list, and I never get them. I don’t care where they come from or how cheap they are if they’re comfortable. I’m not picky! Alas, no slippers. I guess I shouldn’t complain because I never think to buy myself some slippers when I’m out shopping. I only think of it when I’m at home and my toes get cold! My New Year’s resolution is going to be to buy some stupid slippers if I don’t finally get some for Christmas! :)

If you’d asked for an expensive thing, I’d have said a telephoto lens and a macro lens for my camera. I don’t want my husband forced to buy them though, because that would stress him out way too much! But someday I’d love to have those lenses. I know he’d get them if he could.

@MissAusten LMAO, I know what you mean. It took 3 xmas’s before I would get a soft warm pair of pjs. It wasn’t that I wouldn’t buy it but rather its hard to find a realy nice set. My sister bought me one once and I wore them down. You just wanted to go to bed the moment you put them on.
But for 3 years everyone thought I was kidding about the pjs. I don’t know why. Never really cared about expensive things. I’m more of a creature of comfort than glamour. I like beautiful things like every, but cold nights in the winter always remind me of the nicer things in life. I now have several really nice warm pjs and a robe that feels like your wrapped snuggly in a warm blanket. And I even got some warm bed socks as well.
I look like a big ball of fluff but I’m a cozy ball of fluff.

For him and I to move to Scotland and live happily ever after!!! I don’t want marriage just a home by Loch Ness!

I would want him to understand that giving me a &W%$$(!!&! compliment on occasion is not asking him to change his whole ^%$%^#&&#! character.

Since that won’t happen, I want the basement to finally get flooring. And to move the treadmill down there.
