Or wait...weren't you just at Macy's :devil: so it really would be more fun to see what they have at __________? Failing that, surely something at Macy's will call your name! Very loving gesture on both your parts. Have fun!

BF and I went shopping today (and saw a LOT of LV, wow! but that's another thread)
:back2topic: I really appreciate everyone's suggestions on how to break him in. We went to Pacific Place and Nordstroms in downtown Seattle and had a great time! He bought me some beautiful black slacks at Club Monaco and a gorgeous 3/4 length trench which will be perfect when the weather changes.
Then, onto jewelry! I fell in love with this necklace
...and he loved it on me too so he's got the hint for later on.
And then there was the choco Paddy...another big hint dropped.
So, I got a few things I liked and he didn't flinch when he saw the big ticket stuff I REALLY want .

"Budget amount, please?"
That's what I do with the DH when he takes me out shopping. It's a good system really. If we agree on a figure before we leave the house, he's not put on the spot after we get [where ever] and I see something way too high. He doesn't have to say no and I don't have to WHINE!
Works for us.
