    My ex hubs was really horrible at gift giving. Like would call me from the mall on my birthday and ask what I wanted because he'd been shopping all day and couldn't figure out what to buy.

    Legit....one year I think on valentine's day he gave me a candy bar, some funny card, and a shower head. And not the good massaging kind. It was so random and weird.

    Lmao. I was just about to come in here and post that a few years back my husband gave me a shower head for Christmas and these super ugly puke green colored dishes. The shower head wasn't a special one.. it was just a normal old shower head. I wasn't ungrateful but inside I wanted to cry and scream. I made a joke about it and his response was "Well we needed a new shower head." I wanted to yell back "SO YOU EFFING GAVE ME ONE FOR CHRISTMAS WHEN WE WOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT ONE ANYWAY????"

    * motor returns shower head to Home Depot; gift receipt no longer needed.

    Don't return it! Depending on which one you picked, it could be a great gift!

    thank you for the encouragement...

    what's your mailing address?

    My aunt once gave me a used paintbrush and a cheap watercolor paint set. I don't paint nor do I have an artistic bone in my body.

    My husband bought me wooden spoons for my birthday one year. That's all. And not like nice ones either, cheapies from the dollar store... Apparently I had mentioned that I wanted to see if that trick of putting a wooden spoon over a pot of water will keep it from boiling over was actually true. So, thanks, honey, for remembering one random comment I made weeks ago... All those hints while we were shopping of what I'd really like to have were too obvious I guess...

    I'd also like to add that he woke me up from a nap to give them to me. He's lucky I didn't shove those spoons up his *kitten*.

    My former roommate's girlfriend was expecting an engagement ring at Christmas.

    Instead, he gave her a microwave safe warming tray.

    ... she might have been a little disappointed.

    This reminds me of a story that really only funny now that I'm no longer in touch with any of the people involved.

    Once upon a time, my best friend and I were dating brothers. The brother I was dating had already asked me to marry him, and I had agreed, so I knew an official proposal was coming on Christmas. In the meantime, she had "accidentally found" a ring among his possessions, and assumed he planned to propose as well. Come Christmas morning, I open a ring and get my proposal, happy tears, all that. She opens a ring, and then another ring (yep, 2 rings), and he says....nothing. Turns out, he just bought them for her because he thought they were pretty. After a tearful tantrum on her part later, he lamely said one of them could be a promise ring.
    BTW, I never married that guy, and neither did she.

    My brother in law and sister in law always gave the worst presents. They would buy a bunch of junk so it looked like they were giving you a lot of gifts:

    Soap on a rope
    Books that I dont read
    Hideous blouse my 75 yr. old mom wouldn't even wear

    I love my family. LOVE them <3 but my mother always goes overboard for Christmas. I mention I'd like a fish tank a few years ago. Even showed her which one I wanted. A cute little 10 gallon tank. Maybe pick out a few things to put it in. Christmas morning, I wake up to this huge gift, covered in a sheet. She got me a 50 gallon fish tank! :o The thing had it's own stand and took up a huge part of my bedroom. I had it for about a month, before I started having hives on my arms. :s Turns out, I'm allergic to fish water. :/ I had to give it away. Oh well. Things could always be worse. :)

    In her defense, fish are usually stuffed into containers wayy too small for them.
