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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 wrapped my boyfriend's Christmas presents for him, because he was too lazy to do it himself. This included my own present. FML
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 wife asked me to wrap an empty box to put under the Christmas tree. She didn't want her vlog followers to think she didn't get me any gifts. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. 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, I wrapped all my Christmas gifts at midnight. In my exhaustion, I forgot to label them. On Christmas morning, everyone will open presents while I try to remember who was supposed to get socks versus who was supposed to get a coffee maker. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to give me my Christmas present early because he's going to his grandparents' house for Christmas and won't see me. I was excited, until I unwrapped a sweater that I left there a month ago. FML
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, I put Christmas wrapping on old books and things I already own, because I realized that it's the only way I'll have anything under the tree this year. FML

No don't even do that. Embarrass him in front of everyone.

Exactly.. now he's gonna think that his actions are acceptable. They're definitely not.

Give your loved ones the gift of understanding why you're getting a divorce soon.

Ydi but only for not telling him straight to get you a gift or gtfo! It's really not difficult and very selfish. I suppose that might be a silly reason to end a marriage though lol

Eh, my wife and I get our own presents for ourselves and the other wraps them. Easier for us that way. Of course, we still get a surprise or two, but it works for us.

That's great if it's something you agreed between the two of you. That's obviously not the case here though, OP's husband is a piece of crap who couldn't be bothered to buy his wife anything for Christmas, and he doesn't deserve a wife let alone anything for Christmas.

Ya but you and your wife have agreed to that, OP would like it if her husband bought her gifts:/

Yikes. Looks like he won't be getting any of your "gifts" for a while.

I'll bet it was a real challenge to wrap the yacht, beach house, and diamond-encrusted aircraft carrier, but you powered through it!

Same thing happened to me! I finished buying and wrapping all our gifts and thought "huh, I won't get any". My husband has completely forgot all gifts this year: our anniversary and my birthday as well. It really pisses me off, but this time I just told him to get me something, and he did.
