or she is sitting in the clinker, and he is somewhere without a peesh and a lot of Motor Trend Magazine-induced paper cuts where the sun don't shine.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH) *Final Update*
So sorry! Was VERY hard to get on a computer without DH being nearby this weekend. I didn't want him to see my vent.
Well I'm going to make it really short and to the point- there was NO fake out!
I did tell DH how I felt afterwards- well on Sunday I just got so angry from Saturday and there NOT being a fake out - I just told him that it didn't matter if he spent $100 or even $1 on my gift- that I wasn't sure what he was thinking when he got the magazine for me as my Hanukkah gift. I told him that he could have spent that same amount of money on a gift card so that I'd be able to choose something I wanted or whatnot.
He was speechless to say the least. I went on to tell him that he really didn't use his head well on this one and that I was surprised that there was no fake out this year (like there was last year and before that too). He felt so bad but I told him that next time to use his head a bit more before going and buying something I have no interest in.
We're okay, I'm okay and I feel a heck of a lot better that I told him how I feel.

I still feel like there's something waiting for you.
Otherwise, shame on him.
You're right that it isn't about the $$. It's about the thought.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
I'd still use the magazine to line the cat littter box, etc. to REALLY let him know how I felt about. Seriously, that was a crappy and thoughtless gift.

You're totally right--it's not about the money, that was just an odd gift to give! I'm sorry, .

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
I don't understand. Really, WHAT was he thinking?? Or was he just not thinking??
To be totally honest, I'd kind of expect him to make it up to me - not with a gift or anything but maybe make me dinner and give me a foot massage while begging for forgiveness
Glad you told him how you feel

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
Wow! I'm sorry I would be pretty hurt, like you said, it's not the $ it's the thought.
Did he say why he thought this would be a good gift for you?

Yeah, I'm there with you. A part of me feels like this MIGHT still be a fake out. 
I just can't see how he thought this was a great gift idea. Like everyone said, its not about the money...there was just no thought. I think a nice meal and some pampering is a great way for him to make it up to you.

Re: Am I Being Materialistic? (A Vent On My DH)
Just curious...did he say anything in defense of it about the new bridal set he's getting for you? Like "but I dd get you new rings..."
that seems the only way I could logically expect him to think the magazine was a sufficiet enough gift.

I was thinking the same thing but that magazine is such a weird choice.
So sorry it didn't turn out to be a fake out.
However-in years to come I bet he will put A LOT more thought into his gifts for you
