My kinda girl. I mentioned it might be at the sample sale during the great debate or should I say divide and he was unmoved. That Plan B is still in the box by the front door wear he put it after he threw his tantrum and said he was gonna get a refund. If it's still there in the morning (meaning he doesn't take it out with him) then all is fair in love and war

after awhile and a few times that you say you dont like something. THEY LEARN!!! My Hub now asks first. hee hee or he lets me buy it. Sorry you had to go through this, but its better than having something you dont love.

aaww~~ i'm sorry to hear this Michelle! i hope all goes well~
maybe next time you could take him shopping and point out the bag that you like and hint it to him instead of him guessing?

aww Michelle! I agree that you probably just hurt his ego .. he will get over it AND learn. Many guys I know don't tend to go above and beyond to surprise a woman and I'm sure he thought he was doing so! Beware though he may be a little hesistant to surprise you with anything from now on and just flat out ask you to tell him exactly what you want. All good, it turns out to be a compromise.

My BF doesn't buy me clothes, make up, bags, etc.. he buys me cooking supplies and YES I love him for it. My last Christmas gift was a $200+ saute pan

.. I can't wait for my birthday (though getting a Dyson would be pretty hot IMO!)

Tough stiuation. I would love it if my SO got me a RM all on his own. I would be disappointed if I opened it and it was a hazelnut plan b.

Maybe this is a crazy idea, but maybe for his Bday or better maybe some lesser occasion, you get HIM something super expensive that is not really what he wants and see how he feels about it and see if he says anything. Maybe he'll be able to empathize after that... Call me an evil person, but I love teaching the boys a lesson!

well, thats just me and my crazy ideas!

At any rate, I hope you and your DH kiss and make up soon! While his reaction was stupid, his intent was good

He wasn't guessing he just figured he'd get me something "different". If he would have stuck with any of the three RM bags I already have this would been a none issue.

Given his warped ideal that one should simply and graciously accept whatever they are given as a gift. I'm not certain he'd be honest and my money would be wasted. And the lesson would mine alone.

One time, my DH wanted to get me a pair of earrings and I told him exactly the style that I wanted. Did he get them for me? Nope! He got a different style!

I wasn't sure how to react since I knew how he would react if I told him how I felt and I was upset since I had told him what I wanted.

It all worked out because he didn't like the way they looked on me either and he exchanged them for the style that I wanted

My DH is very stubborn and sometimes I feel that he gets things HE wants instead of what I want. However, he has never gotten me a bag.

I had a similar situation 7 years ago, during our first year of marriage. My DH went to SERVICE MERCHANDISE.....going out of business sale.....and spent $500 on the smallest cheesy white gold heart with diamond chips...on a angel hair thin- chain that was in knots.......I opened the box and started to laugh. I asked him, "does this look like something I would wear"? I wear enormous funky stone/bone/resin/fabric type necklaces, always have. We had a huge fight over this and he has refused to buy me anything wearable ever since. Fine by me! I go to the AZ gem show once a year and do all my buying there!
Nice to see we have all had similar experiences though. Men are idiots when it comes to some things.
