Men and Christmas shopping

[Mups]

This will amuse the ladies on here I'll bet.

Apparently 'experts'  have now officially found that most men find Christmas shopping as stressful as a life-saving situation.   
Their heart rate and stress levels increase dramatically it was found.

Also, various shop assistants said they have many men going in to their shop,  haven't a clue what to buy their partners, nor what they like,  or even what size they are.

What about that then!    Badly stressed males, poor dears.   And  men reckon they are the stronger sex?

It is a life saving experience... ours!!!

They normally start their shopping on Christmas Eve

As a man, I don't need to do any Christmas shopping.  I have a wife to do that sort of thing.

That is true.   My ex-husband never went out shopping before Christmas Eve.

Aha.  In a rare moment of inspiration I have single handedly bought my daughter a couple of tickets for a stage show (recommended by my niece, thus abdicating responsibility if it's a bad decision) at the Lowry, and while at it I bought my wife a couple of tickets to go and see Paddy McGuinness, who she seems to like.

I am now officially off all hooks. All from the comfort of my sofa, tickets aieady downloaded and printed off.

I can sleep easy, for a change!!!

As for Sam's method, I'm not sure how well a series of post-it notes leading towards the kitchen would be😬😬😬😬

OH buys me vouchers for my annual spa visit. I buy him malt whisky. We're both happy. 😊

Anything horsie for himself, I never know what I'm getting. Missed getting Dageus his pressie.    We were usually in Perth early December and I took Dageus to Pets Mart they have so many toys. He used to love walking up n down the isles inspecting all the soft toys that he loved. He always chose the one he wanted I wrapped it up and he got to tear it open on Christmas morning.

I do feel for you, Raven.
A lot of us know how much it hurts to lose a beloved doggy friend and companion.

Such a huge part of one.  I feel for you Raven.
