What was your worst ever present!!!

I met this girl in a club one night and well after three days the antibiotics kicked in and the itching got better:eek:

Re: What was your worst ever present!!!
 

Our first Christmas after moving into together hubby brought me a microwave...............he thought it was an excellent pressie and looked pleased as punch when I opened it.

I dropped massive hints after Christmas that personal pressies were more appropriate and have had some lovely ones since.

However........... on his 30th, 9 years later, I brought him a new iron and toaster...........right back at ya!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

I always go by the rule 'DON'T EVER BUY A WOMAN SOMETHING PRACTICAL OR SOMETHING THAT IS USEFUL'

Seems to have worked pretty well for me so far - I never buy my girlfriend anything she will actually use......and she always loves whatevger it is.....WOMEN....who'll ever understand how they work?!?!

A book on sexual fetishes from my husband which my mother later found in my bookshelf.

Or the vase. I'm not sure which.

Re: What was your worst ever present!!!
 

without a doubt it was a car alarm.

at some point during the year I apparantly voiced to the old man that I really needed to get a decent alarm on the car .... so he got it for my 30th birthday:blink::confused:

I really need decent toilet paper too but I hardly expect a pack of that for my chrissy pressie!

men are crap - just give me the money and I'll go get what I want!

Generally more like dont buy a woman somthing for cleaning or cooking. Because a prezzie is suposed to be somthing to enjoy like a gift voucher for a massage.

I know if my oh bought me say....a new hoover I might be ticked off that he is hinting that the house isnt clean enough. Cleaning and cooking is somthing woman do coz it needs to be done.....not ness somthing we enjoy doing so ...not somthing we want practical prezzies for :lol:

Re: What was your worst ever present!!!
 

I enjoy cooking so if someone bought me a kitchen gadget I would be over the moon. I am hoping for a wizz bang ice cream maker for my birthday next week. For my 21st I got a food processer and for my 30th I got new set of pans. Saddo or what.

My worst:
A vertical cd holder that mounts to the wall. I wouldn't have minded it except that it was shaped like a giant flamingo and was bright pink. I have always hated pink, so my mother should have known better. Plus I had to fly back to university so the damn thing wouldn't fit in my suitcase. It was almost 10 years ago now and it's still at my moms, I think she got the idea!

One of my best:
Before we left Canada my husband bought me a Roombah, one of those little robotic vaccum cleaners. I loved it, mostly because it meant that it was less work for me!

Re: What was your worst ever present!!!
 

Been looking for one for ages. If you get one, I'd be interested to know the model and where you/OH got it from ;).

As to the worst present: Our last Christmas in the UK springs to mind. My MIL gave me a glasses "case". It was made out of thin cotton cloth, i.e. offered zero protecion to any glasses one might put into them. On top of that, I am a contact lens wearer - put them in when I get up, take them out just before i climb into bed. (MIL is generally not a nice person ...)

One christmas I mentioned to the hubby that I fancied a pair of black leather gloves.

Christmas morning, I open a pressie from him - cool, black leather gloves. The family turn up for christmas dinner, after food we sit down to open pressies. Oh look, my sister has bought me a pair of black leather gloves, at which point my sister in law says oh, I'll find the receipt - yup, another pair of black leather gloves. My mother comes to, hands me her pressies - FFS do I really need ANOTHER sodding pair :curse: Everyone else thought it really funny :rolleyes:
