most insensitive gift ever...

My husband gave me a trilogy of Star Treck movies. For someone who likes Star Treck this would be a good gift. I don't care for Star Treck that much. When I asked him why he bought it for me he replied because he wanted them.... See his Birthday was two weeks before and when I asked him what he would want do you think he would have told me about wanting the movies, No. Instead he waits for my birthday two weeks later to give them to me. Then he couldn't figure why I would take them back to the store and get something that I wanted.

For my 25th birthday my boyfriend and I drove down to L.A. (not very far) to go to Disneyland. My entry was FREE (birthday special!) and we scored coupons throughout the park due to a family member. Sounds awesome right?! Ya that was until we entered the park and he acted like it was HIS birthday. We ended up going on all the rides he wanted, ate were he wanted (i just wanted a corn dog dammit!), and ended up doing EVERYTHING he wanted!!! The end of the day my feet hurt, my stomach hungry, and "its a small world" was shut down

He made it up big time the next day by scoring PIXIE tix to the HollyWood Palladium...but he'll never live down his diva behavior on that birthday.

WTF????? LOL Why 3 forks?Thats so weird!!

One Christmas my ex ( who is actually a lovely guy but just crap at buying gifts) bought me a blanket, and three mini barbie size ponies, little plastic ones, and a mini hairbrush to brush their hair. I think he thought it was cute, as Im quite girly....but like, Im girlie in that I wear makeup, work as a makeup artist, and the odd time put in hair extensions for nights out!!
Thats about the extent of the girliness!!

Oh and I was 24 at the time

Mine is not a bad gift story but a lack of gifts.

The in laws never buy me any presents, this I don't mind on my birthday as I simply don't see them around this point, but for Christmas it's always been awkward as they buy presents for my wife, the kids, each other, and anybody else present on the day (such as my Mom) so often I end up being the only one not to receive a present out of about 12 people from them.

I don't know whether or not to class these as insensitive so will just call them dumb gifts.

Last Christmas one of my aunts gave me a Justin Beiber book and I was like seriously I hate Justin Beiber and I am 19 and the book was for young teenagers.
Also last Christmas my Nan got me eye shadow when hell I don't even wear make up like seriously Am I not pretty enough (Kasey Chambers is my favorite singer).

I have 1 of many idiot gifts from my ex. I guess he has learned his lesson though because his current wife gets gifts like Ipod Touches lol.
My ex husband went to Micronesia to work for 6 weeks. He had to stop in Hawaii at the army base to get a shot. Except he couldn't get it for 4 days. So here I am stuck in BUFFALO NY with freaking snow to my hips and he calls to tell me he gets to stay there for a few days instead of a few hours. Then tells me, well I was going to get you a leigh and send it to you for our anniversary since you couldn't be here but it I didn't think it was worth it. Instead he brings me home some kind of small carved stick thing. The kids got stuffed animals from the Target he stopped at on the way home.

This wasn't a gift to me, but it still makes me laugh every time I think of it.

One Christmas, about 15 or 20 years ago, my grandfather gave all of the men in my family (dad, brother, my husband, my sister's husband) a plastic bottle of Brut. By Faberge. The guys all looked at each other as they opened their gifts and we were all trying not to laugh. Of course, after my grandparents left that evening, we all had a good joke about it.

Well... on my husband's next birthday my brother gave him a couple of gifts and one of them was... his bottle of Brut! That started the whole thing. Those bottles of Brut would show up unexpectedly at birthdays and Christmas every year for at least the next decade. They'd be wrapped fancily or hidden in with other gifts, etc. Every time someone got one, the whole family would be laughing hysterically and I know my poor grandfather had no clue that A: they were the same bottles he'd given them or B: why we all were having so much fun.

It's been awhile since one has popped up... I'm thinking I might need to start that little tradition back up. NO ONE will be expecting it....

My FIL is very cheap, he buys all of his "gifts" at yard sales, thrift stores ect. Well for Christmas he gave his only grandson a rocking horse painted with the name "Luke" on it...my sons name is Bobby! Needless to say we names the HORSE Luke!

Do gifts given as kids count? My sister (at 9) gave my mother a doll's arm. Nothing else, just the arm. Who knows where it came from...

My ex would spend money on a gift for me, and then buy the same thing for himself. I got an iPod one year for my birthday, that I didn't ask for and he bought his own at the same time. His birthday is a month after mine and I'd always be at a loss as to what to get him because he'd either have given it to himself already or I didn't have enough in my meager allowance to buy something for him. And then he'd complain about the homemade gifts I'd put all kinds of thought into.
