Helping wife in shopping...

Help your wives in their personal shopping including

  • Makeup
  • Jewelry
  • Intimates
  • Shoes
  • etc

Do you get involved and give your opinion or its like “I am taking care of kids at home or taking them to chuckee cheese, you go, take your time”?

I normally help her in shopping Makeup & Jewelry. Tell her what’s looking good on her. If foundation is too light for her, if I want her to buy x earrings, y pendent but for some reason I feel really odd to step in Intimate section. I feel like every one is watching me what am I doing in this section or as if I am stealing something :blush:

Any one else goes through same situation? :hoonh:

Re: Helping wife in shopping...

I have been shopping with my fiance, when I was in Pakistan. What I noticed was she was so indecisive. So I was just getting annoyed I first I was genuinely telling her what looked good on her, eventually I just wanted her to buy something so we could go home. So everything she would pick up I would say yeah thats great, lets buy that.

Re: Helping wife in shopping...

For some women shopping is a fun activity, like a hunting adventure. Personally I know what I have to get, what I need before I go. I research which place has that item and just go to that one place. I find it, try it and buy it. Then if I love it, I don't need any opinions on it. However I do occassionally ask my hubby what he thinks. I never shop for makeup or jewelry (mil is a jeweler and gives me everything).

I recently bought a few Fall/Winter items. It took me 10-15 min. to find them and I knew I loved them. I showed hubby and he loved them too. I trust my instincts. I do remember one time Aziz took me to the Lucky store cause he wanted to get me jeans. It was his idea and he wanted to dress me. I thought that was cool. But it's very rare for him to be involved at all in any of my shopping or purchasing decisions.

Sometimes for clothes and jewellery. never for make up or shoes, it can take hours and hours.

Re: Helping wife in shopping…

Yes the trick is to be with her so I know that what are her favourate items???:faizy:
Also I know that what she bought recently and that helps me to give her something as a gift which she did not have, and that surprise her that I really know about her choice and needs.:whistling

Re: Helping wife in shopping...

Is she stupid that she needs your help?

Re: Helping wife in shopping...

^^ hmmmm so only stupid ppl ask for help? next time think before you press "F1" on your keyboard :)

PS:
Till now i used to think that ppl who mess up but dont ask for help are stupid

Re: Helping wife in shopping...

If you're opening a thread on it, I'm assuming, she's in need of constant help. Otherwise, don't see it as "helping" her.

If she asks you to come along with her to "help" her pick out earings, believe me, she doesn't need the help. She just wants to spend time with you.

If she actually needed help, then yeah, I think she'd be pretty dumb.
