Here's an idea: Instead of getting angry or hurt that your man didn't get you anything for your birthday or anniversary (or maybe he DID get you something but it's a far cry from what you'd like), follow this plan--
1) Decide what you want.
2) Three weeks before the big day (gotta give him time to make it happen), tell him what it is, where to get it, how much it'll cost, etc. In other words, SPELL IT OUT FOR HIM.
3) Joyously receive your gift with nary a word of negativity about how you made it super easy for him.
It's a win-win, really. He knows he's giving you something you genuinely want and you get something you truly like.
It works. :)
(I even bookmarked it on the computer.)
Disappointed that you need to walk him through the whole process? That he doesn't know you so well that words are unnecessary?
Give the guy a break. We don't always give our husbands what they want without being encouraged. I mean, when's the last time you greeted him at the front door in lingerie?
If it was recently, I applaud you.

Well done Jeff AND Aimee!!!! :)
This post rocks! I fully agree. For example my birthday is April 19th and I have already begun telling, I mean "suggesting" what we will be doing and getting for my birthday. Honestly, being open is the best policy. Oh and greeting him lingerie helps too! Oh that necklace is great! Love it!
Christy! My birthday is April 19th as well :) :) :)
