Dear Rodger:
My SO has a whole lot going for him, but the one occasion when I cringe is that moment when I unwrap a birthday or Christmas gift from him. The guy sucks when it comes to choosing gifts. It is not that he is cheap as he is very generous in how much he spends. But he ends up either giving me something to use in the kitchen, which I hate because I consider a mixer or waffle iron a utilitarian item that I could buy myself if I needed it, or an item of clothing that is not in keeping with my style so I have to take it back to the store and I feel guilty about doing that. Answer please?

How about creating your own gift registry?
In these days of on-line shopping, you could go to, for example, the Nordstrom site & find items of clothing that you like & then give him a list.
Besides, since your SO is so generous, you can place really, really expensive items on your list—not for your own benefit, of course, but to give him the added pleasure of . . . OK, yes, totally for your own benefit!

i like the part about being able to list really expensive gifts for my BF to give me - lol!
What a great idea! And having our person gift registry does not have to be so limited to just an SO. It also could be used with parents and siblyings and friends.
This girl has problems that are much more serious than getting bad gifts. No. 1 she cannot tell him that she does not like kitchen items for gifts. No. 2 he does not care enough about her to learn what her style of clothes is. These are two huge red flags.
i get really tired of chicks like elaine who find "red flags" in every letter - chicks like this must never get laid!
