Okay I am a freak about giving gifts. I like to be that creative person who catches things that people say throughout the year and then give it to them for a present. When we first started dating he mentioned a couple of times that he wanted to buy himself a bose idoc station/speaker. So for his birthday I bought him that. He LOVED it and had NO idea he was getting it. I loved that. That is why I am so good at giving gifts. That is why I ENJOY giving gifts to people. The look on there faces is WHY I do it.
So anyways for Christmas I bought him $150.00 worth of gift cards so that he could renew his sirius satelitte radio for a year. Again he has mentioned it over the last year how much he misses his satelitte radio everytime we get in his truck to drive somewhere. So me being creative wanted to get it for him for Christmas. It was his one big gift. Everything else is just dumb boring stuff that I know he wouldn't really look forward to.
We were on the phone today and he mentioned that he renewed his satellite radio back in October for a couple of months or what not. I got so mad and upset at him. I mean sitting here typing it is making me upset all over again!!! I told him that was dumb because that was his Christmas present and he was like I am sorry I had no idea because I never thought that you would get that for me..........HELLO that is WHY I was going to give it to him. We decided to not mail each others gifts because we will be together the day after Christmas. I am pissed because he just ruined it all. Now I don't really want to give him anything and I feel like I might as well tell him what else he is getting because nothing was as good as that. I feel like I have to come up with something else to make up for that. He said that he didn't want me to do anything else and that he loves it. GRRR it isn't that same! I didn't get to see his suprised look and all of that stupid shit. I feel like his Christmas is ruined for me and I am just not excited about it anymore. He said that I knew about his big gift to me but that was different because we had to plan my trip out there (my x-mas present is my ticket out there). I am just so upset about it! I don't even know what else to get him to replace that. I mean the gift cards might as well be a stocking stuffer because he knows about them and it isn't a suprise at all. His birthday is in February but even the ideas that I have for him then aren't anything compared to what this suprise would have been like if he just wouldn't have gone out and done that. I even told him MONTHS ago to not buy himself anything and he got snappy and didn't see the big deal because it is just stuff that no one would buy him. So I am sitting here crying over something I know is stupid but is still a big deal to me. I don't know what to get him to take the place of the gift cards that would be as big of suprise to him and something that he would never think of. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I might as well tell him everything he is getting because nothing I had compared to that gift!!!
