When I read treads like these, I realize how spoiled (blessed) I am !!!

While back, she saw what I was using with Microsoft Flight Simulator X, so she bought me a $450 stick, throttle and rudder set

I wanted to learn how to play guitar (10 years ago) I now have 4 guitars, 1 Strat, 1 gibson, 1 nylon string, 1 steel string and a BASS, still can only play a couple of chords

Got my first "boutique putter" about 12 years ago, a Byron oil can anser 2 model, I now have 12 Byrons

While waiting for our stereo to be finished, we walked to Roger Dunn, I tried the newly release PING G25's, 30 minutes later my order was in,,,,,,,,

I do same for her, she got hit by the golf bug HARD two years ago, her first set is PING LE irons 7-SW, 4 thru 6 hybrid, Cobra F-8 Ladies driver and customs GSS Byron Anser 2 style

Maybe because we both had horrible prior spouses and we are now making up for lost times!!!!!

 

That is an awesome spouse.

Maybe she actually don't really get me anything expensive, is because I tell her not to a lot of the times.

I prefer to spend our money on her and the kids 25 year old daughter and 12 year old son,  as well as our granddaughter Lailla, she almost 4 months old.

"Giving hints" to your wife LOL

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Complete multi-sentence description, in writing, with links to said potential gifts and images is the only way to go. And it works both ways - my wife is the one that started that with ME and it's worked out just fine. 

People out here "giving hints" and expecting that to actually work... I'm dying over here. 

Welp, after two decades, I think it is time to let go of the "hint" strategy.

I feel you on this. Unfortunately for some of us, that's just the way it goes. The important thing is that you guys love each other and that's all that really matters.

I love her, even if I spend the rest of my life getting socks and clothes that are too small as gifts.

Like I said, this is our second try at this marriage thing, 16 years married, 19 together. We do something which I believe has worked for us for those years.

Christmas: We go to stores, WE pick what WE want , the SWITCH carts and walk away from each other. Then we decided what we are buying, so, let's say I put of golf shirts some balls and shorts on my cart, she may get them all or just pick some. Still getting what we want but don't know what.

Birthdays: We go to the store, pick our present, the other pays for it. 

I do find that the "wants" are now far more than needs

My wife and I have been together for 18 years, married 15, and I’ve whittled it down to : I drive the van, she solves the crimes. She tells me where we’re going and when. She also buys all of her gifts since Jewelry, Clothes and perfumes have been permanently removed from the gift list. I’m always amazed how thoughtful I am at Christmas and Birthdays!

So my birthday is next week, and my wife does not seem to get the hints I've been giving her since Christmas. 

I've been wanting a new scotty for the longest time, since last Christmas, I've been telling the wife about it, she always under delivers on her gifts, from clothes 3 sizes too small to very unusuable stuff, I always seem to get the short end of our gift exchange. 

After Christmas I told her, all I wanted for the entire year was a new scotty. 

Valentines came and passed, nothing. 

Our anniversary came and passed, nothing. 

Father's day, I got one t-shirt, only one size too small,improvement I guess. 

My birthday is next week, she was talking about how she wanted to get me some "cute golf shorts" , I cut that conversation short, pun intended, do not need 165 dollars shorts, and reminded her that Carl's have some newports, for 329. 

What else can I do, my wife has been a horrible gift giver since we met and have been together.

I still love her. 

 

Just buy it and let her see it on the credit card statement.... I'm sure that would go over well LOL

Go buy it yourself.  Better yet, go in and get fitted for one.

For sure.  

Regarding wife's and gifts, am I the only one who hopes not to open up a package with another golf (and in my case fly fishing) related nic-knack thingy? Of course one has to respond with "oh, how cool", while we have images of various practical items that can actually be used 🤣.  Between my wife, my older sister, and my mom, I had a steady inventory of those items they found cute.  Oh well, as they say, it's the thought that counts.

My wife tends to give me cash so I get what I want, and I will do the same for her unless it's a 'project' i do for her instead of a 'gift', in which case i design or decide what to get, buy it and assemble it.

If I told my wife that I wanted a $500 putter, shed ask me why its so expensive and why its worth that kind of money and Im not sure that I could come up with a compelling argument about why its worth $500.  "Its a Scotty" isn't a great argument.  Its kind of like trying to convince yourself that a Mercedes gets to back and forth to work any better than a Hyundai would.

Beyond that, Id second just buying it yourself.  I wouldn't trust my wife to buy me any golf club and have any confidence that she would the exact model that I wanted.  That would be much the same as if I were to try to buy her jewelry or clothes without her telling me exactly what she wants.

No your not.
At this point in our lives SWMBO and I kinda buy (within reason) what we want. We don’t go crazy about it and we do discuss buys, kinda emoji12.png
 

Pretty much what we do as well.  If we see or find something we want/need, we get it.  We don't wait for an "occasion".  

Large purchases are discussed and we both pick them out.  My wife needed a new(er) car a couple of years ago, so we bought her one.  Last December we bought a new(er) house.  Each time she said that's her birthday and Christmas presents for the next several years.  So, I guess I can get new clubs... whadda you think?

New clubs, no problem!
Birthdays, Anniversaries & such we go to a really good restaurant and get what we want. Easier than trying to buy stuff for each other that we don’t want.

Anniversary was in April... no restaurants open.  My birthday was in May... no restaurants open.   😩

A few weeks ago our stupid gov allowed restaurants to open outdoor seating if they have it.  It's been 100-110º since then.  Not going.  I don't think we will be going to outdoor seating for my wife's birthday in December either.

The not subtle/direct approach:
..email or text her a link

My wife still insists on getting me some "cute" (she thinks) golf gadget for Christmas but now knows that I'm particular about the hard goods .. so we started the same she does with her kids is we send her a link to the desired (coveted 😀) item.................

So my birthday is next week, and my wife does not seem to get the hints I've been giving her since Christmas. 

I've been wanting a new scotty for the longest time, since last Christmas, I've been telling the wife about it, she always under delivers on her gifts, from clothes 3 sizes too small to very unusuable stuff, I always seem to get the short end of our gift exchange. 

After Christmas I told her, all I wanted for the entire year was a new scotty. 

Valentines came and passed, nothing. 

Our anniversary came and passed, nothing. 

Father's day, I got one t-shirt, only one size too small,improvement I guess. 

My birthday is next week, she was talking about how she wanted to get me some "cute golf shorts" , I cut that conversation short, pun intended, do not need 165 dollars shorts, and reminded her that Carl's have some newports, for 329. 

What else can I do, my wife has been a horrible gift giver since we met and have been together.

I still love her. 

 

Buy it for yourself and tell its the best gift she has ever gotten you. Thats what I would do haha
