Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Simply having a wonderful Xmas time!
Today, I came home and told my husband that I got my own Christmas present so he would have something to give me at the family gathering. He asked me if it was wrapped. I said it was. He said, "Nice." No follow up questions at all. FML

Today, my husband still hadn't gotten me anything for Christmas, so I bought and wrapped my own presents. Then I had my husband write 'to me, from him' on them so that I won't be embarrassed in front of my family on Christmas when it comes time to open presents. FML

Keeping up appearances
Today, just like every other celebratory day (like my anniversary or birthday) I ordered my own Christmas present. My husband doesn't get it. I tried to explain. He openly admits he has no idea what I like and has no interest in learning, but wants me to have something to open so he won't look bad. FML

Today, I bought a rather unique shirt for my boyfriend, planning to give it to him for Christmas. He showed up wearing the same shirt. This isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a box of chocolates for Christmas. I thought it was sweet until I noticed the heart drawn on the back. It's the same box of chocolates I gave him for Christmas. Christmas last year. FML

Today, after weeks of tirelessly organising a Secret Santa with work colleagues, we finally exchanged gifts. I got a stapler, which had been stolen from my desk the day before. FML

Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML

Today, when I went to work, my nice coworker gave me a gift basket. And cookies. I had to tell him that I caught his kid keying my car last night. FML

Agreed.

Even if you can't get him another gift you can wrap a picture of another gift and give him that. My wife did that for me several years ago when the gift she wanted to give me was on backorder.

As a wife, I would give my husband something meaningful, something that shows I know him. Something I know he would love. I'd be sure to make it special. If OP thought this way while picking out her husbands gift then I would be wondering why a co worker thought to give him the same thing lol

My husband and his co-workers know each other really well. If they exchanged gifts, this would happen to me also. We all spend a lot of time together.

The coworker could be a good friend. One of the men I work with bought another one a Rolex for his birthday.

Maybe you should be getting more thoughtful and meaningful gifts.

That's what I'm saying. What if she DID get him something meaningful and thoughtful.
