I’m still unsure of the protocol on who should buy houseware in a relationship, when they should buy it, and for what reason. When I say houseware, I’m encompassing all things ‘housey’ – cookware, kitchen accessories, that kind of thing. Things that, in my mind, make excellent presents for my wife.
Only I’m pretty sure she has different ideas about what constitutes a romantic present. Last week was her birthday, and she’s been complaining that the toaster we use in the caravan isn’t as good as the one we have at home.
