How was I supposed to know that when she said "We need Pinesol, and this broom sucks," she wasn't asking for them as gifts?
You're lucky she didn't beat you with that new broom.
That said I think most men need to be trained when it comes to things like gifts. My hubby isn't a card guy he just didn't see a big deal in them. So I had to just come out and tell him that Cards are a big deal in my family. The first time he got me a card it was a funny sarcastic one.

I've got him well trained now. He knows I like the sweet or sappy ones. As for gifts We don't hint around we just ask each other what we want. Sometimes he surprises me with the just Because gifts but I still remember when we was dating his first gift to me was a set of hot rollers and a bottle of hair dye.

After 11 years of marriage and 12 years of being together he knows better then to buy a gift like that. Honesty is best if you don't know what to get your wife ask her. In this case I think a Kindle is a great idea seeing she's already hinted and even gave the color she wanted.
