Classic DH
I just went into the bedroom to get something. He is laying on the bed with the ipad.
He says "It's Cyber Monday, you can't look at what I'm doing."
Me - "okay. By-the-way have you seen the scotch tape?"
Him - "okay, I'm getting what I always get you. But not bras, because you have enough of those."
Me - "ummm, okay? But I asked if you have seen the scotch tape?"
For the record, he gets me VS underwear every year and no he didn't know where the scotch tape was. Although he was interested on what I was wrapping (just some stocking stuffers).
My aunt's last day is today. She leaves tomorrow. It's been a long 10 days. We are off to Vail after lunch. I will return to my duties tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

Re: Classic DH
My SO doesn't understand the concept that unless you get an identical item, nothing fits the exact same. We went to buy pants one time. We were in a bit of a rush. I wanted to try them on first. He insists we don't have time. So he grabs a pair of the rack and says "These are size zero, perfect!" And drags me out of the store while I'm trying to explain that he got the skinny pants style and those cut off my circulation. We get home and I try them on to show him. I can barely get them on. He gets totally confused because "those are size zeros so they should fit like any other size zeros". No honey, for one thing, I prefer size ones for the extra room; for another there are half a million different styles that fit different. To top it off, he lost the receipt so the store wouldn't let me return them.
Regarding bras. though, unless I know that a certain style (ie. unlined balconette, sp?) from a certain brand, I would prefer my SO doesn't buy me bras. Of course, this is only after being properly sized and having my eyes opened to big boob bras.
DH would never attempt to buy me any type of clothes. I'm pretty picky with clothing. I also am very hesitant to buy him any clothing, because he's picky too. And he TOTALLY gets the idea that different brands/styles fit differently. He has one brand/style of jeans that he likes. A few years ago they stopped making them and it took multiple shopping trips and hours in dressing rooms to find another style that he could live with. And he's picky on shirts too. So, for me to buy clothing for him is limited to the one brand/style of jeans he likes, the one brand/style of shorts he likes, and a limited selection of acceptable t-shirts.
But, on the bright side, if he's shopping with me, he doesn't get impatient about waiting while I try on clothes because he understands why it's needed. Actually, he's more patient with it than I am.
Sweet for thinking of that honey, but now I look like a drunk with an over-sized sweatshirt.
