all the talk about birthdays has me wondering...


what's the best/worst birthday presents you ever received from DH?


I would have to say the worst was when he gave me a cutting board the year I was pregnant with Natalie. He's finally catching on though... last year he bought me a ruby necklace :o)

a cutting board!!!! oh my Desiree!!! I'm suprised he lived to see another one of your b-days!

I can't think of a bad present from dh. He's pretty good at that. The first year was a stereo, then after that it's been jewlery. The last couple years (2 or 3) I have asked him not to get me anything, we usually go for dinner. I dont want him spending $$$ now that we are on 1 income.

I don't know about a worst gift, but my worst bday (oand his worst day! LOL!) was when he forgot my bday when I was pregnant with Ashley!!! The year after that was my best gift ever! LOL! He had roses delived to the house, had a beautfiul cake made and bought me the curio cabinet I wanted...........I'd say he made up for forgetting! :-)

I would say the worst was when he bought me HOUSE SLIPPERS...and they were cheap....for my b-day. He said he felt pressure to get me something because I like "deep" gifts..lol


The best was when he bought me this cut little rack from Lillian Vernon that goes over the bathtub and holds your book and bath accessories, he also got me a TON of bath stuff to go with it! Wrapped inside was an autographed book of one of my favorite romance authors with a note inside from the author telling me hints and secrets about her new book! lol

My birthday was 3 weeks after having my first. At the urging of my family (niece especially, her husband gets a discount) my DH bought me a diamond ring. My original wedding ring was very small and didnt fit my chubby fingers. She told him, "Look, she just birthed your son and put up with you for 10 years, she deserves some bling."

I have never been one for flashy jewelry but it is white gold, 1/2 carat center stone with 4 stones flanking it and I am very very happy!

Worst is a tie of the other 9 birthday presents he has bought me.

Our birthdays are 2 days apart which I hate because either of us really gets a special day:( I can't remember a best! I wouldn't mind that 1/2 carrat ring though lol, for my other hand:)

My Dh isn't much into present giving at all. He doesn't usually buy anything...sometimes if he remembers he'll do something. Usually he says lets go out and eat at the last minute...oh well. I don't really care anymore. I still do my present giving for him and don't worry about it.

When he actually does give gifts he does pretty good...but I can't actually remember any presents he's gotten me for my birthday, only Christmas.
