Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
This would NOT fly with me!
Our first year together DH got me (amid other stupid gifts) a Toaster Oven.. his rationale was "we needed a new one" . He has NOT lived it down yet! Although practical, it was a thoughless, unromantic and so "let me just get it over with" kinda gift.
Its not being materialistic, you just want to feel as if he put some thought into it, even if its a 5 dollar item.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
Aww, sorry we all got your hopes up. I am glad you told him, how you felt. Did he say why he picked THAT magazine?

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
I'm also hoping that it's still a fake out, I mean really? Why that particular magazine?

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
I am so sorry.
Do yourself a favor, call & cancel the subscription. Even if you have to transfer it to another subscription you do like. My husband deals with my b1tchiness once a month anyway so that magazine showing up, would be deadly to our relationship.
You don't need a reminder of this.

That's a really good suggestion, I would do this too.

I'm so sorry. I can't believe how patient you were until the 17th! He is damn lucky to have you.
Definitely cancel the subscription. You don't need that reminder each month.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
WOW WOW WOW!!
I was so certain this was a fake out!! I'm shocked!! But I'm definitely glad you told him how you felt. What did he say about it???
It wasn't even a subscription to something you like or are interested in. It seemed more like a gift for him!!!!
I'm sorry!! I hope the next years are all much much better than this one.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
I was thinking of just having the subscription put in his name. He did buy it for me even though that it's something that I didn't want or even interested in so he can still read it.
I have a feeling though that after our talk Saturday night he might still brave the mall for me. He felt really bad and I was so happy to finally tell him how I felt- it was a relief...I'll tell you that.
He didn't say a thing about the new wedding set that he had bought me either.
He should be lucky that I do love him to pieces, which I do but also he should be more lucky that I don't kill him..I'm sure around the world there are more wives worse off than me during the holidays- the good thing is in March is our anniversary and July is my b-day so he'll have times to make it up to me. Least he knows not to make that mistake again.

Awww I really thought this was a fake out!  I was looking forward to seeing what the "real gift" was.
I think it's great that you let him know how you feel.

I am sorry this is your real gift. Obviously, we were all hopeful there was going to be a big surprise related to the magazine.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
I've been wondering when you were going to update... and how this was going to turn out.
You can definitely call the magazine and see what other subscriptions they'd give you for it. I used to get Entertainment Weekly but realized I wasn't reading it so I called and ended up getting like 3 years of another magazine (maybe In Style?) for the same as the one year of EW was costing me!
Sorry this happened. I do sometimes get my DH some presents I think he'd like because I'd like them... we do a ton of presents for Christmas and last year I wrapped a soup pot I bought for both of us amongst the gifts. Just so there was more to open. He always laughs at me. But he's used it! 
Hope it gets better and this doesn't happen again.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
Ugh, not the update I was hoping for.....I'm so sorry.
ITA with Barb, I would definitely switch the subscription to something you like. Changing the name to his is turning your gift into his. No way!!
At least he feels bad, but I really cannot even imagine what he was possible thinking when he bought you that.
Tampons for his birthday = GENIUS

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
My first Christmas with my husband I got a Winnie the Pooh hat (I am not a fan of Winnie the Pooh), Scooby Doo slippers (not a fan of Scooby Doo), 2 of the same exact vest in different colors (I NEVER wear vests) and a stuffed animal. Yea that was weird. It wasnt the gifts that bothered me as much as there was no thought in them. Very hurtful..so Ive been there. I am sorry.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
As a male, I'm with you on this one. A lot more thought could have gone into this gift. Some guys need help in gift-giving. I admit I did.
