They run these stories at every holiday ... drives me insane. I don't think there's any better present, than for your spouse to notice something you really need and get it for you, instead of listening to what the media says you want.

I'd rather my husband picked up a library book he knew I wanted, than spent a bunch of money on something useless!

You're as sensible as my wife. We rarely exchange gifts at Christmas. I got a deal on a treadmill a few months ago and my wife said, "we'll count this as your Christmas present." I said, "Fine." She found a deal on some jewelry earlier this year and she said, "I got your Christmas present for me." "Thanks honey!" (Usually she has me covered right up through next Christmas 8-)

I mean, come on. Do people really get worked up about this stuff?
