I've never been good at gifts. I'm embarrassed when I receive them, and I'm stressed when I try to give them. It really has been rather convenient, that I simply haven't been able to afford them for so many years.
So this year, for his birthday, I decided to buy Captain Awesome a pair of sunglasses. Real sunglasses. Maui Jim's.
I drove everyone in the store a little crazy picking them out. I wanted something that would look great with a suit. But not make him look like a hitman.
So, he opened the box, he was delighted, the kids were delighted with cool dad. The sunglasses made their way into the glove box of the car. He never wears them.
They cost more than $200! So much for me and my gift-giving abilities.
