xmas shopping
so tonight i made a decision to do some xmas shopping- there is really ONLY one person I have to buy for because my family really don’t celebrate Xmas per se as such…
even though my fiance specifically said to me “let’s not spend any money this xmas”…because he’s bought me an engagement ring that literally broke his bank account, i suspect he’s still reeling from that experience.
Plus, i did buy him a very expensive pen for our 2 year anniversary. Who knew a pen could cost like $500 odd bucks- yup that’s right, for some unknown reason, my partner is into “expensive” pens. And so I ended up buying a Mont Blanc pen. Did you know each pen is serialized etc – thats how they know if you have a “real” or “fake” pen.
as you can see, gifting- between the both of us has become a very expensive exercise. and no, then pen has “no” real significance in regards to our relationship other than he just wanted one and apparently it makes “contract signing” all the more “better”. Yeah- for $500 odd bucks (and they’re just starting prices too mind you), it better be a good experience for both the contract-or and contract-ee.
anyway… so he made this dumb ass rule (actually he does it every year) that we were NOT to spend anything on each other for xmas.
I never agreed to it anyway, even though that’s what he said he would do. I don’t mind if he doesnt buy me anything, because i do agree on the fact that the engagement ring is enough, and really- there isn’t anything that I want anyway.
BUT.. that doesnt mean i can’t buy for him right? It’s not like he’s going to go back into the shops to demand a refund. I know he won’t. He’d get a bit angry, but he’ll get over it…if he doesn’t, I’d drive him over the Westgate Bridge and he should have gotten over it by the time we get to the other end. HAHAHAHAH
can’t wait to see his reaction when he thinks i got him nothing and he ended up with what he’s been wanting all this time…
I tell you what i got for him AFTER xmas (if someone reminds me)- if no one mentions it- then oh wells.
