I pay attention and try so hard to buy the perfect gift for people. After I buy it, I start second guessing, wondering if they'll really like or if they'd actually want it.
Yeh, look, my Cap bf is just really straight up about gift buying. It took me a while to get used to the idea but he asks in advance exactly what I want or my mother wants, or his family wants for their gifts etc or in my case he gives me his credit card and shows me a site he thought I might like and gives a budget (which is Very flexible) and says buy it.
I thought it took the magic out of the whole season or birthday etc but in his case there's too much worry with other things on his plate, so I feel it's a good way for a Capricorn to deal with it.
Also, that is reflected in his own life, I and others get told in no uncertain terms what he wants... I thought at first it was rude, but it makes everything so much easier really.
yeah I do the same thing. I start planning about a gift a couple of months or at least a month before the actual event but still I second guess whether the other person will like the gift or not
I too put a lot of thought into my gift giving, I do not tend to second guess myself though. It is what it is, eff em if they don't like it. My ex Cancer thought I was a horrible gift giver - too utilitarian :/
So maybe I am feeling a little anxious over what I'm getting my Fish. He rides a Harley, and he likes the Dukes of Hazard (has confederate flag all over his house and Dukes memorabilia). Soooo, I thought I would get him confederate flag boot harness' for his riding boots, I also considered getting him collector General Lee license plates (although I can't recall if he has those in his collection and not sure if we'll get back to his place before I run out of time to order). Money is tight given I'm still unemployed, so I need to make it a good bang for my buck - maybe I should wait on the plates until his bday. I think he'll really like the boot harness' and they won't put me back too much.
Yes! I get this all the time. I naturally pay attention to what people say they like and don't like because I am very picky. I always plan in advanced a couple of gift ideas in my head and then go from there. Depending on my relationship with the individual it can become quite intense. However, I love buying gifts because mine always be the shit!
