Women suck at buying birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, clothes etc...

Out of 100s maybe 1 or 2 get it right...

So the solution is to sit down with them and explain the above in a nice way, or tell them, you will go with them to get the gift or send them exactly what you want (picture, exact description)...

Or do Amazon gift feature were you can create a gift list ....

After 5 years with mrs skills got into a fight cause she bought me the wrong gift...

Babe i want this specific cologne...

I see she ordered cologne sample size... Total autism... I am like brah! Who does that and got pissed and hung up on me...

Jesus...

On the flip side, I had samples go over well as a gift. Ordered like 5 or so good ones right to her address.

"Rumination investment" like a 5-bounce gift, they all showed up on separate days... Each scent unboxing tied to me... And VERY cheap in total. Only other gift I've ever bought was a smashable piggy bank to make her save and feel like a little girl.

Good tip though! This year I'm only getting coal.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this - EVERY woman I know is terrible at choosing gifts for people they know, it's actually astounding.
Watching someone opening gifts chosen by a woman is always an excruciatingly awkward experience - it's not like you see in films.

The ONLY people I've ever seen who are good at choosing gifts are men - it's surprising this isn't talked about more. I thought this was just people I know.

You have to really give women specific direct instructions. I think it's just an absence of logic issue, I can't think of any other reason women are so bad at choosing gifts.

no only that... You thought i cursed her family, the way she is going nuts over this silly argument, like it is a big deal... I explained this to her 50 times, she is still upset...

My main always asks me before buying anything for anyone she knows.
Or she pays close attention to my taste and picks something she is almost sure I'm gonna enjoy.
(recently she out of the blue bought me a Lakers jersey with my exact size, and I loved it).
Basically she never chooses gifts by herself.
Smart cat that one.

Yeah good.. they need to ask before in her defense i use her Amazon so she saw I ordered previously the sample size to try out... Still even though is miscommunication, i just found the whole situation funny... And made a post on how most women.. don't get gifts right. . I just created a wish list i sent it to her... She was just worried order not arriving by Christmas and freestyle and she is just upset cause she didn't get it right and i started trolling... could not help myself... but now everything good.... just ironic how her wish list more expensive than mine...you got a love women...
