Hubby's gifts

[mrs.S.]

Does your hubby like to give you expensive gifts? What was the most expensive gift you recieved and how did you react?

Ako kasi Weird yung reaction ko everytime hubby gives me an expensive gift. I worry that he splurged so much on that gift that it will hurt our savings or budget. Dont get me wrong, I like expensive stuff kaya lang minsan I have second thoughts of choosing something ( expensive like gadgets, shoes or bags ) lalo na pag sinasabi ni hubby na magpili ako kung ano gusto ko, then yun na ang gift ko.

share your own thoughts on this...

Hi sis!

Our hubbies are the same when it comes to gift giving. He's not the type of person who will give me mushy stuff like flowers, chocolates, etc nor likes to surprise me with candle-lit dinner. in fact, have gave me flowers twice pa lang since we were bf/gf until now na kasal na kami. But he likes buying me expensive stuff for like gadgets & appliances (he bought me washing machine, microwave and a gas range), original bags (eh SM or greenhils lang naman okay na ako). later buy daw nya ako ng couch. 

its overwhelming! but i think our hubbies just want to make sure that they will buy what we want kesa naman sa di natin gagamitin. that's why they always ask us to choose.

he's making fun of me kasi everytime i receive a gift na naka-wrap, ang tagal kong buksan. as in hindi ko sinisira yung wrapper, tinatanggal ko yun tape isa-isa kasi sine-savor ko yung feeling na nagbubukas ako ng gift kasi he never gave me a gift na naka-wrap... ever!

^^same sentiments sis, nanghihinayang ako sa mga expensive na products. When I say something na "ay gusto ko sana yung bag na yun...or gusto ko nito..." as a girl hindi natin mapipigilan na sabihin yun right? He just said "bilhin mo na" excited naman ako pero pag malapit na bilhin nagbabackout na ako, nanghihinyang ako, lagi ko naman iniisip kaya kong magtiis syds, hindi naman kasi namin pinupulot yung money, hubby and I are not born with silver spoon on the mouth, I saw him how he achieved his success kaya for me every penny counts however, I get want I want naman somtimes pag wala ng choice like nasira yung gamit ko

I always love to receive gifts from hubby, que turon yan or another house. I do not/never ask for anything for myself.   Kaya siguro he has been very generous with his gifts.   I like kasi to be self-empowered too; I am,  so I can buy whatever I want and not bother him.  So I think that challenges him. 

Do I feel guilty he spends so much for gifts he gives me? No, never.
When we were starting, I did my share of working and providing for our needs, so he can focus on giving all to our new business.  When the business almost went under twice, hindi ako kumurap, hindi ko sya sinisi, I just kept on doing my best at whatever.    Manalo, matalo, I do not say anything.  I just keep on working so our family will not go poor.  Thank you, God.

At 2AM this morning, i ran out of coke light.  he drove 5 blocks away to the gas station to buy me diet coke, and 2 kitkats.  I was soooo happy; he was so pleased with himself.   so there.

Kakatuwa naman ang nai-share ninyo sis. I feel good na hindi pala ako alone sa feeling ko. Thank God we have husbands who are very thoughtful...

[mrsdee]

hmmm, the hubby gifts me with needs, not wants, kaya wala namang guilt feeling pa so far hehe. I do the same din. tapos we don't ask each other what the other wants, we just know the other "needs" this or that. no fancy wrappers, too. magugulat na lang nasa bed yung gift at mapapa "awww, thank youuuuuu!" ka na lang with feelings! hehe.

pero mapa-pricey or not, unwrapped or not, sabi nga nila, "it's the thought that counts". kaya true, thank God for thoughtful husbands and we hope they stay that way. Amen.

since i had a child i seldom go shopping.. unless its for groceries & stuff for my baby & hubby..

i guess my husband felt that i am always splurging on stuff for the family that he would always give me gifts on special occasions. on valentines day he gave me flowers & my favorite cake from estrels.. =)
i was happiest because it was a grand gesture on his part.. my husband is not the flowers & chocolate type of guy.. he mostly give me money so i can buy stuff that i want because i only shop for myself when i need something.. he is thoughtful that way & i am always thankful..

i love it that my husband buys me the things he know that i would love but i dont want to buy. i buy the things that i want, yung mga kikay things like bags, shoes, clothes. before pa kasi i always tell him not to surprise me with these things baka hindi nya makuha exactly yung gusto ko and he would end up disappointed if i didnt use it. one birthday, he gave me flowers (i dont like flowers but he always insist in giving me flowers), cake and a gift. so i shake and feel the gift and soft sya like a clothing. so kinabahan naman ako na baka kung ano yun at hindi ko masuot and he'll get disappointed. when i opened it, it was an adidas jacket, the germany kit for the workd cup 2010. and i was in heaven! he knows how much of a germany team fan i am and never naman nagcross sa isip ko na bumili nun. but when i saw the it, i know id want it for myself. ayun suot ko sya nung natulog ako. hehe

^ ang sweet naman niyan sis. Priceless lang talaga yung moments na malaman mo talaga na hubby is paying attention to you... like what you really like. One of the things that hubby usually says is that he gives me nice gifts daw because I deserve the best.

Hi mga sis... My hubby gave me a swatch on my birthday last year. Hindi ganon kamahal pero nasurprise ako ng sobra xe the way the binigay nya saken. Matutulog na kame nun then kala ko wala akong gift so medyo sad ang lola nyo. Then pag higa ko may matikas na bagay sa bandang ulo ko when i looked under my pillow my swatch na matagal ko ng dinadalaw sa megamall hehe. Mababaw lang xe din ako. Para sakin super sweet and nag effort siya...alam nya na magugustuhan ko yun.

[chic_clothes]

^ sweet ni hubby mo sis

ako naman kahit walang occasion pag may gusto ako bilihin, si hubby na magpiprisinta bumili or dadagdagan niya yung money ko..then sasabihin niya advance na bday gift ko syo ah sabi niya kase nakikita naman niya kung paano ko alagaan si baby kaya in return binibili niya ko ng mga things na gusto ko

[ecnarfoj]

Hindi madalas mag-regalo yung asawa ko, pero pag pasko all-out talaga siya. Yung mga birthday and anniversary simple lang naman. Pag valentine's day dinner out talaga. I let him show his love kung sa ano mang paraan yun.

Pag may kailangan naman ako binibilihan niya ako not necessarily may occasion pero binili niya for me kesa yung ako yung bibili for myself.

Mas na-e-enjoy ko talaga is yung pag-prepare niya kung paano niya ibibigay yung gift niya. Hindi lang kasi basta naka-box, may skit pa yun.

My hubby likes giving me gifts. Pero madalas, actually almost all the time, he gives me things that I want and ask for. Minsan paparinig lang ako and I'll check kung maggive in ba sya. Hinde naman mga excessively expensive stuff -- usually watches, perfume, bags, ganyan lang naman mga gusto ko. Sadly, he rarely buys gifts na meant asa surprise talaga kase he's worried na baka hinde ko magustuhan. So madalas, he buys what I want na lang.

last valentines my hubby gave me an ipod touch.. sobrang na surprise ako kasi im not expecting anything naman from him. usually kasi flowers lang binibigay nia saken pag valenines. natuwa ako kasi naka naka gift wrap pa with note "pangs (short for panget! lol ) happy valentines! iloveusoomuch". 

[sarsingkit]

^another thing i like about my husband is, if he run out of idea on gifts, he is never hesitant to ask my friends what to give to me. plus for effort.

[m_lim]

never ako naguilty because i never ask. at sa assesment ko naman, magaling siya mag handle ng pera kaya always within our budget.

[ri-anne]

my hubby also likes to give me gifts (from flowers to girly stuffs to the latest gadgets) eversince bf/gf years and even after 14 yrs of being together.....i appreciate the thought although ok lang din naman tlaga sakin kahit simple letter or flowers [textspeak!]...but kung dun sya masaya edi happy na rin ako 

[kimebies]

My husband knows me too well, alam nya what I want at the moment and he makes it a point to get it for me. Always.

[iluvmysoldier]

nung bf-gf days yung mga typical gifts lang like flowers, chocolates, stuffed toys pero consistent yan basta monthsarry expect talaga ako na meron.

nung medyo tumagal na, pag may gusto ako or may idea ako sasabihin ko sa kanya, tapos pumapayag naman siya kahit yung iba minsan medyo over sa budget niya.

now that we have a baby, ok sa kanya kahit anong ipabili ko kahit gano kamahal pa yan no questions asked approve agad

[tanya1109]

si husband ko naman mahilig mag-surprise.,LDR kami ngayon so nung valentines nagpadala sya ng flowers and chocolates ng hindi ko alam. Na-surprise naman ako. Then my birthday is on April 28 at iphone naman ang gift nya saken, mas excited pa sya kaya wala pa ang bday ko eh nasabi na nya. hehe.
