    For Valentine's Day, my ex-husband once got me some super-bright colored Gerbera daisies (to me they are the most hideous flower and we had discussed that) and a big bag of trail mix, the kind that is mainly seeds. In his defense, I'd started eating much healthier at the time, but really... what!?

    My current husband got me a cheapo Sansa mp3 player for Christmas once. I didn't really mind because he also got me some fantastic gifts that I liked. But that was SO random because I already had an iPod. I never used the Sansa one. He uses it sometimes now, several years later.

    My ex wasn't the "gift giving" type. In the 20 years we were together I think he got me a water bong when we were 16 :D and maybe a few bouquet of flowers (which isn't a bad gift). Then we became parents at 20 so the gifts went all to the kids.

    Can't we all just get a bong?

    On my 18th birthday my ex handed me a ring box and when I opened it, it had a dead spider inside :#

    You win! That is the worst!

    Any type of clothing. I do not like my husbands taste in clothes for me. I had to tell him several times PLEASE stop dressing me. He got it after a few years into our marriage.

    But I have to say he has excellent taste in bags and shoes!

    Years ago my husband bought me a vacuum cleaner for my birthday. Not just any vacuum, but the heaviest, most cumbersome thing to drag around the house. And it sucked...in that it didn’t even suck very well.

    A few years later we moved to a house with a built in central vac system. The old vacuum is stashed in the attic somewhere.

    I had a crush on a girl when I was 16, but was just getting to know her, only really knew she was really smart as well as cute.

    Got invited to a birthday deal for her, I had no idea. I bought her a map of Jupiter.

    My friends still give me crap about that in my 40’s.

    Hahahaha gave this to my ex husband for Father’s Day. While sobbing. With my then 4 year old repeatedly asking why we got daddy a thermometer.

    I kid, I kid... I like the small humans. The skinny blonde one is sort of funny, and the bigger one seems kinda bright. The little diaper wearing one might be alright too I guess... a treasure they are.

    My mother put a bottle of minty green Scope in my Christmas stocking. My wrapped present was a package of knee high nylons, twin pack, sheer hue. She was generous that way.

    On my 10th birthday all mom got me was a pink beach towel from the grocery store. Sad times.
