pegging

I always go with experiences over stuff. I want to do something with the people I care about and collect memories instead of things. It gives people the freedom to be as frugal or lavish as they want and I don't have to store or return anything.

I think you lifted gift giving standards way up high and your partner wants to keep up 😊

• Anything that can be consumed, eaten or drunk is a good gift.
• Tickets to some event you can both attend and spend quality time together. Maybe a concert

Full disclosure, I peeked at your comment history.

How about those phone mounts and maybe a neat 2-in-1 tripod/monopod for your binoculars? Or a shoulder sling?

Otherwise, my go-to is an experience like others suggested. Escape room, paint nite, afternoon of pool/ bowling/ mini golf, Top Golf, cooking class, museum visit, comedy night, hockey game, roller skating, hiking, music bingo/pub trivia, or consider a hotel room nearby for the night with an indoor pool or my absolute favorite...a cabin weekend with a hot tub and a real wood-burning fireplace.

Use it as an excuse to strengthen your bond I guess. Just say something like "all I want is to do (XYZ thing you know you both like: dinner, movie, whatever.) with you, I don't need anything more." If that even is something you'd even want to do of course. Don't force it if it isn't what you want.

Just be honest with them, you could even possibly try to explain the anxiety you feel about it all and let them know you're happy just being with them in whatever way.

Either that or pick a food you like lol for me I'd probably just say "get me a big ol' bag of chocolate covered pretzels and I'll be in heaven." :P

Pick something you already have and use often, like a phone charger or an office chair or a pair of shoes, and ask for a higher quality version of the same thing. Something that will last longer or be more comfortable.

Tell them the they are the only gift you need and how lucky you are to have them in your life. Anything material just pails in comparison.

To list of things anything you could want:

• Goods
• Services
• Relationship time, that is your partner doing things for you,
  which can be subdivided into 10 more types of wishes.

Food? Everybody likes food, right?

Or an experience - a trip, a night out, whatever

You want a purple rubber dildo

A small island nation to crush beneath the heel of your boot.

Or, if you don't have boots, you can ask for those.

With my partner, we usually gift time/knowledge. As in, one person wants to buy something but doesn't have the time/expertise to read up it and find the perfect thing. So the other hops in and does the research for them.

This valentine's my partner helped me decide on a new gaming keyboard, while I got him a custom web domain and email setup.

So maybe if there's a thing you've been meaning to research/buy, let your partner do it as a gift?

She might get mad if you tell her this, but maybe you want some time to yourself. It's what I usually want on my birthday.

Same, I’d honestly just skip my birthday if that was an option

if i wanted something other than a bag of cocks i would just buy it

My partner gifted me a pottery class recently, which we are doing next weekend and im VERY excited about. Maybe do that?

A cat.

Ask for world peace maybe it'll work.

An experience, like going axe-throwing.

A favorite food.

A music playlist made especially with you in mind.

I have the same problem when I need to come up with things on the spot. So instead I keep a list that I add ideas I get for things I want over time. That way if someone asks I can show them that and I don't have to think on the spot about what I want.

I always ask for the same thing.

A rare steak and messy anal.

I also don’t like receiving gifts from my spouse. So I just tell her to buy my bar tab for the night.
