My husband has been receiving box after box in the mail full of Christmas presents. Admittedly some of them I know about and are for our daughter, however he gleefully takes the rest of the boxes into his office and pointedly shuts the door. I, on the other hand, have received no boxes. This year, other than the specific items my husband has asked for, I have little idea of what to order for him. I have sat with my eyes glued to the search bar, with nothing popping into my head. Perhaps he has so much already? This year we are more fiscally stable than any year before, I have the ability to get him whatever I want, but I just draw a blank. Getting what you put on your wishlist is great, and I have already bought a couple things, but when it comes to a thoughtful gift from the heart I am seriously lacking in thoughtfulness. There is plenty of heart though! I love my husband very much. This is a man who will buy whatever he wants when he wants it if he has the means to do so, and he often makes sure he does, so anything I get him seems to me to be lacking in interest. For someone who has lived the majority of her life in the lower working class, barely living paycheck to paycheck, this new job is the greatest give I could get. I just don’t know how to take advantage of that.
