I find the same thing. I buy my husband practical things, which is what I find romantic (or at least the closest thing to romantic I know). My husband gets me only practical things too. Other people however find it off-putting. I don't understand why you would want something temporary because it has been arbitrarily denoted as "sweet".

I am very grateful to people who tell me outright what they want because then I don't have to worry about messing it up.


I relate to this completely. I'm very happy if someone just gives me socks for Christmas or my birthday. Better than some random trinket that will just collect dust. But people don't seem to understand that sometimes. They feel like they have to get the 'perfect gift'. Socks do me just fine.

I am often clueless when it comes to getting gifts.
