Christmas gift dilemma

Are those the only gifts youre getting? I understand wanting the fun since youre not getting gifts for each other (at least thats what i understood from your wording, i could be wrong). Can you get a third or 4th gift that you pick and wrap together? Seems like hes always pictured shopping for and wrapping gifts as a couple for the kids. If you do a couple together and one each separate, you both get your vision. You get that fun and excitement, he gets to shop and wrap gifts with you. This is a very easy to compromise situation ❤️
@Tonya we will be doing stockings for each other and we will do one for the baby together. That’s why I thought maybe the gifts parts can be something of a surprise and excitement.
Growing up, which part held more weight in his family? Like, for mine, it was the gifts. For my husband, the stockings were the big thing. Does he come from a family that valued the gifting process/gifts themselves more than the stockings?
I understand you! I’m hoping my husband secretly gets our son something cause it would be fun FOR ME to see. If he doesn’t then whatever because it literally would just be for my excitement lol
Neither of you are wrong. But if he doesn't like your idea, don't do it.
I think that's an awesome idea! A great way to show your baby how to be surprised about gifts on Christmas and it's mor enjoyable for you too. I feel like unwrapping the gifts you bought and wrapped is really boring. There needs ro be some sort of surprise.
It's a lovely idea xx
Unusual idea but seems cute! Is he just resistant to separate wrapping because he wants you to do 100% of all of the wrapping?
If your plan is to only get two gifts for the baby because they won't remember or for financial reasons then I love this idea. If you are able to do more then you could compromise and still get baby one small thing each. Coming from someone who buys almost all the gifts in the house. My tradition is that every year I have my son help pick out a special gift for dad from him and now that we have a second they will each get to do the same thing for eachother.
That’s a great idea and now I want to do that with my husband! My baby is 7 months old and her first Christmas 🥰🥰🥰
I see your point. I don’t think he should be mad or thinking that. And I don’t think you’re wrong or silly. But on either hand, I don’t think it’s enough for either of y’all to be pressed. I’d try to talk to him again, but I wouldn’t be too upset. Maybe he just doesn’t want the pressure of picking gifts out and getting the right things.
