Some of the DYK's got me thingking about some of the gifts Dan has gotten me over the years that weren't so great. I thought it'd be funny to share. So, what are some of the strange or awful, or puzzling, or leave-you-speachless-not-in-a-good-way gifts your DH has ever given you?

well, I mentioned in dyk awhile ago, that my dh used to get me stupid things like a bag of rivets or canned pickled sausages for our anniversarys, but those were gag gifts and not the "real" gift.


As far as real gifts gone wrong...he's pretty good about that. nothing too awful. there have been some very unromantic gifts, like slippers, or householod stuff, but usually I've asked for it lol.

lol. This is a great question! A few years ago we were stationed in Germany and not doing well financially. He forgot about my bday until a few days after, when I made the comment that I didn't get his bday card. (He doesn't do cards, usually.) He ran out and bought me about 10 tubs of Carmex. Don't judge too quick, though. He knows I use it religiously (I go through about a tub every 2 months!!), and it was kind of a gag gift. We couldn't afford anything really nice, but he did take me out to dinner later and bought me a nice cake and sang me happy birthday. :) It's the thought that counts, I guess. :) I knew he meant well. He often forgets. But now I've changed our ATM pin to our anniversary date, so it'll be funny to see how many times his debit card gets declined. lol :D I'm sneaky, but I did warn him it was changed! My bday's on the 2nd of October, and I'm not getting anything this year. We're having trouble paying rent, let alone buying bday gifts, so I'll have to get my gifts later. He wants to buy me a DVD burner/VCR combo so I can burn episodes of Law & Order. I told him I'd just love to have them on DVD as a whole season at a time. :) We'll see. Maybe for Christmas...

For our first Christmas

When I was pg with Natalie, we went to Costco one day. I happened to see a cutting board, and said that I had been needing one, so I picked it up. Kyle said "oh well that can be your birthday present". I seriously thought he was joking, but when he didn't get me anything for my birthday, I asked him about it. He said "what do you mean? I got you a cutting board!"

uh yeah...

he's been SERIOUSLY humiliated MULITPLE times about that one over the last few years, and my last birthday present was a beautiful sterling silver necklace with a ruby pendant LOL

Hmm..Well..I would say the most practical/strange gift Mike has ever given me was a microwave for my birthday! To me birthdays are for something more personal and for the person who is celebrating the birthday but DH is still learning. LOL. To top it off he took me with him to pick it out, mind you I didn't know that we were picking out a microwave. I thought we were just going shopping for food. Then when I realized his intentions I thought he would come back for it later and then "suprise" me with it. Not so much...he put it in the cart and said "Happy Birthday". He didn't see how that was bad and if I hadn't been already emotional from being pregnant I would've probably "guided" him more gently towards a real gift. LOL
