Just because he's a superstar doesn't mean that Tim McGraw has it any easier than us when it comes to finding the perfect Christmas gifts. Tim and wife Faith Hill celebrated their 14 year wedding anniversary October 6, but the years haven't made finding her presents any simpler.

"We were both very lucky and we both had really good careers when we got married, so you go in for the big things at first because you can afford it," Tim explained on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.' "You're married, and it was like, 'We just got married ... I can buy her this cool stuff.' Then every year after, you run out of things to get, so it starts to become smaller stuff."

The years bring creativity, though, right? "Finally, it gets the the point where it's like, 'You get me a pair of socks, and I'll get you a pair of socks, and we'll call it even,'" Tim continued, as the audience giggled. "Well as a guy, we know that never works. Maybe a pair of socks with a diamond earring or two stuck to it ... something like that. You're always prepared for the fallback as a guy. If they say, 'Oh you don't have to get me anything,' you really know better. You should know better than that; if you don't, then you really won't have to worry about it next Christmas because she won't be around! [laughs]"

Tim's latest movie, 'Country Strong,' hits theaters December 22 in Nashville and Los Angeles. The movie opens nationwide January 7. His latest musical hit, 'Felt Good on My Lips,' sits at No. 3 this week on the country charts.
