I really want jewelry for christmas. I have hinted for another holiday also, but it failed. I don't need anything expensive, I just think a necklace or a promise ring would be soo cute and special. I've been with my boyfriend/babydaddy for 2 and a half years and all I really ever got for xmas and other holidays was candy and a stuffed animal. I hinted to him before about a promise ring and nothing and this year he even joked and said he'd get me a ring pop as a promise ring so he knows I would like one. I don't know why I want it so bad but I guess because I've never really gotten any jewelry that was special before..
No were still young and don't plan on getting married till were older and can afford everything.
Quoting NDADanceMom:
Promise ring? Seriously? No offense but if you have kids and been together for 2 years isnt it time to just go to the courthouse if that is the goal?
Yeah my husband and I felt the same way. That is why we waited to have kids.
You are obviously young. Promise rings are for teens. Women get engagement rings.

I lost my wedding ring just 6 months after I was married. I have never been able to replace it almost 3 years later. I have wanted a replacement ring for years (nothing special or expensive, my wedding ring wasn't expensive either) and we haven't been able to get one. I hope one day we can. I feel bad being a married woman with no wedding ring :(
Anyway, I remember this one time Dh got me a gift that I was mad about (at the time). I had been dropping hints for months that I wanted some flowers. He always told me he felt silly buying flowers cause in his eyes "they just die anyways". Well, one day near Christmas he brought home a Cactus for me. I didn't know it was a Christmas cactus that only blooms once a year. He didn't tell me either. I didn't give him the chance. I had the audacity to be "hurt" that he got me "a silly ugly plant", when what I REALLY wanted was flowers. I threw a fit like a child and broke the pot. I broke his heart too. I ran off in a huff. I came back and he had replanted it in a different pot. I was still bummed out till about a month later, the most beautiful thing happened, It bloomed!
It is a wonderful gift. I get flowers every year about this time. Its so special and I look forward to it blooming every year.
I have long since apologized. Now its a silly joke between the two of us.
This is what a Christmas Cactus looks like:

I blew up at DH on Mother's Day when I got no cards or anything. Same on my birthday. NO CARD. Valentine's Day: SAME! When we finally sat dawn and talked it out after me going nuclear about it (there was a lot of other things going on and I was pregnant too) DH told me he didn't see the point because his mom never got cards. He didn;t understand why I was so upset over something so "stupid". He was totally dismayed at my reaction because he wasn't used to a woman wanting stuff like that. I told him all I wanted from him was a card. Nothing else. I told him it made me feel special and loved, and I like going back and reading what HE handpicked for ME. I explained that it made me feel like I was thought of. I HATED that I had to ask for this from him, as I felt that if he loved me, it would come naturally. Men can be real bone heads and you have to spell it out for them sometimes.
But the next day, I got a card, plus two balls of yarn for a baby blanket! :) And I got another one on our anniversary :)
Hope it works out!
