Jim: "I am not crazy about shopping generally, but I don't really mind holiday shopping. I figure she puts up with my crap all year long, so it's my chance to do something nice and let her know I appreciate her. Choosing something she'll really like is tough sometimes, and the fact that I'm a world-class procrastinator doesn't help things. I try to have some fairly definite ideas about what to get, and then hit the mall early (like 8:00 a.m., usually the Saturday before Christmas) before the crowds arrive." Also from Jim: "Cautionary tale about a guy I used to work with: He waited until Christmas Eve to go shopping for his wife, and when he tried to check out he discovered that she had already maxed out all their credit cards! Having no cash, he came home empty handed. He was in the maison-de-pooch for quite a while."
Dan: "My friend and I shop for our wives together every December 24. First, we hit a few bars. Then we hit some more. Just before the mall closes, we race in, buy whatever's on the Gap mannequin in our wives' size, and go back to drinking. Our wives get pretty pissed when they get the same outfit. But isn't it the thought that counts?"
Ben: "I always intend to get a thoughtful, wonderful gift, not always expensive but thoughtful. Sometimes when it clicks perfectly I get the gift and surprise her with it. But sometimes when the schedule of my whacked out life is too much I miss my window and end up with a turd of a gift. I am always aware of the gift being a turd or not. Guys like to pretend they are oblivious to all of this and get to say, 'I'm a guy, what do you expect?' We are aware however."
See what I mean? Young and old, sweet and not-so-much, married and unmarried, men are all alike when it comes to Christmas shopping for women. As my friend's wise mother put it, "Lamb, they are all the same." Indeed.
Girls' Survival Strategy
So what's a girl to do? Much as we hate it, the best way to get exactly what we want is to spell it out, leaving no stone unturned. Give him specifics: List the URL or store location, price, color, size and SKU. This strategy ruins the surprise, sure, but at least you won't end up with a leather thong or a CD of heavy metal monster ballads.
