I never understood the concept of married people buying “gifts” for each other. Doesn’t that imply that the giver owns all of the family money, and the recipient doesn’t own anything unless it is given to them? And if both spouses own the money equally, then the giver is using the recipient’s own money, so how is it a gift?
If I don’t have time to shop for a new [flurbnob], so I give my sister my credit card and ask her to go out and make the purchase, that isn’t a present because she was using my $. Why would it be any different for spouses?
