Hmmmm. Dressing a person is kind of personal. Just my opine there.
The Spousal Unit* and I agreed along time ago to keep it simple. Around June I ask 'What do you want for Christmas?' - He knows he has to answer by October 31st.
He tells me what he wants, on a few occasions we have been at the store and he shows me exactly what he wants. I buy that, wrap it and he is satisfied each year with the gift(s) I get him.
I get my Christmas shopping done by at least the first week in November - earlier if at all possible. I loath - absolutely, positively loath Christmas time shopping in any store - yep that includes grocery shopping. People are such animals this time of year.
