1. You need a "both" option
I like to buy flowers for my house and I have bought (and will again) buy jewelry for myself.

2. I often buy flowers and jewelry for myself
I like having flowers in the house and I prefer to pick out my own jewelry. My SO does buy me power tools, though. :loveya:

5. Other
Edited on Wed Jun-27-07 06:42 PM by Bjornsdotter


...I take Mr Bjornsdotter to my favorite jewelry store and have the sales clerk write down exactly what I want with the size or I send him a copy of a page from their website with the size. If that doesn't work, I buy it myself.

As far as flowers, I keep telling him not to buy them but he doesn't listen. I rather have a new rose bush for the garden than a dozen roses.

Cheers :toast:

Edit one "cheers" is enough per post

18. He tries

...and his heart is in the right place, but he has the worst taste in jewelry.

If you want to be happy with it, buy it yourself.....oh, but use his card. :rofl:

27. I have a friend who has a beach house in Beach Haven LBI
We went down yesterday to hang out on the beach and hit ladies night at one of our favorite bars...which is always a good time when there is a large group of us.

Plus it was nice getting off the mainland and catching the sea breeze

28. Buy what you want.
I have never bought myself flowers, but my husband tells me that I get the least stoked up about flowers than any women he's ever been with (I like 'em, but I don't get giddy either) and I'm a cheap bastard about stuff that's, well, perishable. I have bought myself jewelry though. Many times. :D

Do what you like. All is good.

30. I don't like gifts
So it is not an issue with me. I guess to win my heart an S.O. could bring me a cutting of something, I admire that as I love to find treasures here and there, always digging up plants from roadside ditches and stuff. I have an uncle who would go into garden dept's in places like lowes and yank a small part off of a tree or something and take it home and grow it...that is a skill I admire.

There is no quicker way to tank a relationship with me than to buy me any kind of jewelry...bad associations with that from way back, it's a big no-no for me.

31. I don't want flowers or sparkly things.
The way to spoil me is food. Or books. Or kitchen stuff.

33. Hmmm, I don't buy flowers for me...
When I buy flowers, it's always for decorative purposes, and not for me specifically. The same with jewelry, I buy costume stuff to go with outfits. The purchase of precious stones is left up to my spouse, and vice versa, although neither of us are big jewelry freaks.

35. I buy flowers for myself quite often, when I can afford it. Have bought
some jewelry for myself too.

And, MrSG buys flowers for me once or twice a month, and has given me several pieces of nice jewelry.

I love flowers. Haven't been able to get many these past few months, but when my income is back up again, I'll be treating myself to fresh flowers probably every week.

:hi: If I would like things like flowers and jewelry, I'll get them myself. :) When he gives me things like that, I really appreciate them, but I don't have to rely on him to do that. :)
