I picked out my own Valentine’s Day gift and often pick out my gifts for other holidays. My husband chose what he wanted to get me in general (a bag that would hold my laptop which was a great idea) and then I picked the specific one I wanted.

As for the controversial part, do you think that choosing your own gift in a relationship makes it less meaningful? Is the person who picks out their gifts too controlling/shellfish or is the person who can’t manage to pick out a gift for their partner that they would like too thoughtless?
