for me the whole concept of a gift is not knowing what your getting. and the person doing everything themselves(because they are going out of their way for you)! after all if it's not what you want there are gift recites or he can exchange the gift.

I guess it would depend on what the item was. If it were something intimate, then maybe, but if it were something that I knew my husband would have no idea what my likes would be then absolutely not. One year my husband had me pick out two different perfumes (of my choice) and we wrapped them up. Even though I knew what the gifts were, it was nice that he acknowledged that I really wanted perfumes. Don't let the little things get in the way of enjoying a nice Christmas with your loved one. If it bothers you that much, maybe you can ask him to join you at the shop, tell him that you need his help. I'm sure he'll join you.

My wife does most of the bills while I make most of the money. I try to get her something for some holidays but most of the time she does the shopping. I do not even know what i am getting the kids most of the time till it is opened. If I need to I wrap the presents for her. I do my share of the stuff around the house but just rarely shop. I usually keep the kids while she does. What works for some does not for others. Let him know that you would rather him get a gift then you get it yourself. A friend was the same as me and the wifey would get her own gifts till she got tired of it and spent some $$$$$$. Now he buys her something.

No because he just wants to get you what you want. Men don't think like women do. Women are emotional men are rational so if he sees you want somthing it makes sense to him that you pick out exactly what you want. He is not trying to hurt your feelings so just get over it and tell him thank you. Ask if he wants to go with you to get the item. My husband often gets me exactly what I want because I take him somwhere and pick somthing out and say honey I would really like somthing like this for x-mas birthday whatever. What do you know every year I get exactly what I want not some stupid frilly whatever that doesn't fit! i make sure to talk about the size or color or model or whatever He looks at it real close to that's how I know if he will get that. He has surprised sometimes though and actually gotten somthing different. One year he got me a car for x-mas I was expecting a telescope.

Is it the kind of thing that you really need to pick out/try on/something like that?
If he is just lazy and wants you to do his xmas shopping for him then he is a dummy.
PLEASE keep in mind that most men do not get as emotional about presents and things as women do. Most guys really don't care and only do what their wives/gfs expect.

That would be so out of character for my husband - he loves to shop and he loves to buy gifts for me. He starts Christmas shopping in September and right now he's already got 12 presents under the tree for me. He loves wrapping them up and trying to get me to guess what they are before I open them. He is truly one of the nice guys!

Why would it offend me? The fact that he a) paid attention to what I wanted, and b) paid attention to the store ad to find the item I wanted, would tell me he actually thinks about me. We'd probably go pick it up together.

No. Guys are bad at buying presents. He'd rather you get exactly what you want and be happy than he get the wrong thing and you be unhappy.
How about you both go pick it out together.

Well was it something that you have to try on to make sure it fits? If he meant like, you go get it so you end up paying for it, then yeah that would offend me... but maybe he wants to make sure it is just what you want so you will be extra happy with it

I agree with "redbeans".....pick out a gift, wrap it and put it under the tree...my man already gave me $$ to shop for a gift and bless his heart, he didn't have to do that......last year he bought me a mint green colored robe! LOL!!! This year I can pick out a color I REALLY like!!! LOL!!!
