So today is my birthday. DH has a long history of not doing well in the "make me feel special" department. Well today he went all out (for him). One of the gifts he got me was car detailing (which is something I wanted since I can't really wax a minivan).

Anyhow, he got a gift certificate for interior cleaning and what I really want is exterior cleaning. Do you think it would hurt his feelings if I got the exterior done instead? Should I just suck it up? It's just that it isn't cheap so I'd really like the outside done. I'm sure he just wasn't paying much attention to detail.

Any chance you can do both? Or have the inside done and then take the van to a car wash and have the high end exterior services performed?

I would get the exterior cleaning! First of all, although that is a thoughtful present given that you did really want a detailing, it's not like he had a diamond necklace custom made for you and then you said, "I'd really prefer a ruby ring." It's more like he just bought you the wrong size sweater; wouldn't you exchange it for the right one?

ETA: Happy Birthday!

I'd tell him how excited you are that he was listening and how great it is that he picked this, but that you've been thinking it might be best to do the outside for these particular reasons and see what he says. I think he's just going to be pleased that you're pleased and not sweat the details about which part of the car you want cleaned.
