  at least you got a gift. Me, nothing! I'd love to trade in one of my other knives for your cleaver. I need a cleaver but just don't have money to buy one. I mean a good quality, high grade one.

  Oh no! A big knife? That's got to be a bad sign.

  And as for too big clothing? I used to sell lingerie and the rule of thumb for men buying anything wearable for women is to snoop and write down her size, but that's not always possible.

  So let me offer this advice to men everywhere: never guess bigger. Never. Unless it is bra cup size, always guess smaller. Always. Always. I don't care if it is a sweater, undies, or jeans, err on the small size.

  Trust me on this. After dealing with the returns of the holidays when these women have to make their inevitable exchanges (which they will, in droves), the ones who have to go up a size are happy to do so. They are always complimeted when their honey thought they wore a 4 when they really wore an 8. Always.

  But the ones who had to go down a size? NOT happy. Nobody wants to know their honey thinks they wear a size much (or a little) bigger than they are. TRUST ME!

  Rule of thumb: don't worry if she has to return, don't worry about accuracy, just guess smaller!

  I guess I have the best husband in the world. He always gives me thoughtful presents that I really love. Last year for Christmas it was a beautiful wine cabinet! As for him getting my size right? When we first started dating he asked me to write down my sizes for him so he could keep the list in his wallet. I have to give his parents credit for raising such a thoughtful (and always prepared!) man!!!

  I always get cold easily so I had this habit of stealing my bf's jacket or sweater whenever we were together. Well anyways I guess he got tired of that becasue for my birthday he bought me 3 jackets. Yes 3! He got all the sizes right and they are all cute but I thought it was funny. I still forget to wear one and usually end up taking his jacket anyways. SO now he keeps to jackets in his car at all times one for me and one for him.

  The very first Christmas with my then fiance, who then became my husband, who after one year became my exhusband, woke me up to find an abdundant amount of gifts under the tree. I was elated, the confused when gift after gift turned out to be related to the kitchen. Girls-even tupperware! And yes that is exactly where he wanted me for eternity-the kitchen
