This. I have my wife make a very specific wish list of things she wants (including pictures, store, price etc) and pick a few things from it. She gets exactly what she wants and I live in peace. Win win

But most relationships aren't mature enough to be able to pull that off.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy my wife clothes online if I thought there was a chance in hell she would wear them.

It's not that she would be pissed at me or anything, it's just that she sends back about 3/4 of the stuff she buys for herself, so I have no hope of getting it right.

too slutty
not slutty enough
too conservative
too big
too small
wrong colors
or the dreaded 'this outfit looks just like that other girl ... ' dead blow

endless

might as well just answer the question "does this outfit make me look fat?" and end it right from the beginning. LMAO

Yeah, that's the way to go. Give me the UPC code and I'll carry it to the register.

I have a friend whose harpy, er... I mean, wife... will not tell him what she wants even though he begs her to do so. She says he should know what she wants by now. He gets the wrong thing and she gets mad, so now he just said if she doesn't tell him what she wants, then she gets nothing. She still gets all pissy, but it's less stress for him.

I don't even buy clothes for myself online.

I went through that hell for the first 5 years we were together. At first she was hesitant but, when she realized she would never get another crappy gift from me she went all in. We've been together for 18 blissful years :)

Just buy her a vacuum cleaner and avoid risk.

This. I absolutely positively hate buying gifts for anyone, but buying for my wife literally puts the fear of God into me.

No problems here, my wife is fairly easy to please and I do okay buying online. I'm much more high maintenance than she is.

Mine too. I got off easy this year, the list was pretty short. I got damn near everything on the list for under $200. Of course last year I spent $1500 so I guess she was being nice :)

She got me a 42" HDTV for my man cave this year....I WIN!!!

Why buy giftcards? I'd much rather have cash... If you want to give me money to buy what ever I want, let me buy it where ever the **** I want!
