Christmas Shopping 99% Done

Okay, I’m happy again. I finally was able to get the things I wanted online for my family. The only person I have left to shop for is Troy. The most important one. Ugh. I had the perfect gift picked out for him and was super excited about it. I spent several hours researching it and trying to find a place in Kuala Lumpur that sold one. I finally found one that had the right connectors and was in a store here. Yay! I was sooooooo excited about it. The only thing left to do was get Troy over there to see if it was comfortable and would for sure work. Turns out……………….he doesn’t even want it. *super sad face*

I wanted to get him a strap for his camera that hooked around his shoulders and back so that the weight of his camera didn’t rest on his neck. The one I’d picked out was rigged to hold two cameras, which I thought was a great idea since he has two DSLR cameras and he sometimes uses both. Well, he said that he didn’t think it would work with the lens harness he bought (which is why I wanted to make sure it would be comfortable) and that he probably wouldn’t like wearing both of them at the same time. And he said the neck strap he has doesn’t ever bother him. Boo. Now I’m back at square one with what to get him.

What on earth do you get a guy who doesn’t like nick knacks, stuff on the walls, books and can’t eat anything with flour? *sigh* I was going to get him a video game, but every one I’ve thought about he’s already beat. I don’t want to just cook him something because I cook stuff for him almost every day. There was this awesome zombie shirt that I wanted to get for him, but none of the webpages I went to shipped to Malaysia. He said not to bother getting him anything because he’s not getting me anything. Right. The trip to Cambodia for Christmas isn’t anything and the trip to Thailand last month wasn’t anything and the trip to Australia in May isn’t anything. Hah. I don’t know what to do. I want to get him something useful and that he will enjoy and that I can find here. Clothes would be the easy answer, but I want my gift for him to be more thoughtful. Why do guys have to be so hard to shop for?
