H just told me he got my birthday gift. He said his co-workers told him not to do it because I would be offended. Dun dun dun
I was asking him things because it sounded like a service type gift, and he said it's kind of like a house clearer, maybe organizer but he needs organization not me.
One year he got me a personal shopper and closet consult. I was offended but mostly because I just had a baby so obviously I wouldn't fit any clothes. I had a year to use it and lost the weight by then so it worked out but I was definitely offended for a couple of months.
Personal trainer? Cooking classes? Therapist? Strip Tease classes?

I was actually going to guess vacuum!! Only because years ago, a coworker at the time got his wife a vacuum for her birthday (I think it was a Dyson), and he thought she'd love it, but she didn't.
For the record we have a roomba and love it, we pick up the toys before bed and just let it run. Sometimes it gets a little lost, and if most definitely crashes into everything. However, it was not a birthday gift. I can't decide if it would be better or worse than cool sculpting.

At one time, I would have been pleased with a vacuum cleaner as a gift.
However, I used to have a roomba. I also used to have a slob of a roommate. The day she moved out, I ran the roomba in the roomba in her room. Several times. It died.
After my H moved in, we got a Dyson. we "bought" it with employee rewards points I earned at work. It's great, but a pain in the ass to maneuver on steps. So,
We also got another $400 vacuum cleaner when we moved last year. that way, we could have one upstairs, and one downstairs. And this new one would be easy to use on steps. We bought it with... my employee rewards points. Again.
Oh, and guess where a huge chunk of my annual bonus went this year? A FUCKING VACUUM CLEANER FOR THE POOL.
I am still trying to figure out where to buy 2chatter 's house cleaning vibrator. This is another WP invention that needs to be made. Along with the meal planning, grocery list, grocery delivery app. ETA- I am thinking literally, not motivationally.

I wouldn't be offended by a roomba, but it would certainly impact my gift selection for his next birthday, Christmas, Father's Day... not that I hold a grudge
@crazylucky- I usually don't go all out for him anyway because I am cheap. He usually spends a whole lot more money on me because he is a spender. And I am budget conscious, so he usually gets something under $100 or even less depending. Gift giving is not my love language or strength. He is OK with it.

I just assumed she was referring to a vagina being a house when she made the vibrator joke.
Also, the $115 Eureka sweeper I bought from Wal-Mart 7 years ago with Christmas money is holding on strong. That's probably because it really only gets used twice a month lol. I would love a roomba though.
