With all the people in this thread saying it is a stupid thing to do and what is the point I think I am within my rights to pipe up and say I think it is a nice gesture.

Someone doesn't want to do it? I really don't care, but I know my wife loved the gift and the thought behind it.

I just don't see why every thread about buying something for a significant other turns into a "why the #### would you spend money on a ####ty thing like that". Unless it is Valentines day, seriously, #### valentines day.
I think the problem is the expectation of a gift. I have a problem with that.

But giving a gift for the right reasons is great. When I give gifts it is between the person and me and who cares what other people think.
