That's funny! So, I have to tell one on my wonderful, darling hubby. I love him dearly so I didn't get mad....I laughed....off and on for the rest of the night. This year for my birthday hubby got me a blow dryer (along with a few other things). The funny part is....in the 11 years we have been together I have NEVER used a blow dryer. I didn't own one because I don't use them! You'd think he would have noticed this, huh? LOL He had a really old one that a roommate left behind long before I met him and the only time we ever used it was once when some pipes froze and then we had to search the house for it! I still tease him sometimes about that. He's a dear. Just not real observant! LOL

LOL, Twinkie! The link is broken, so I can't see the "wrong gift", but my BF bought me a blow-dryer, too! And I hate the blasted things. He actually gave me a curling iron first (another item I never use) and when it came time to open the 2nd gift, I looked at him, deadpanned, and told him, "this better not be a blowdryer". Sure enough...

Darren bought me pens one year for Christmas. Not anything special, just regular blue ink bic pens. A ten pack. When my eyebrows shot up into my hair, he commented that I was always complaining about how I couldn't find a pen.

To be fair I've given him some crappy gifts, lol. Right before his vasectomy I'd gone out to be some things he would need, like frozen peas, extra stregnth tylenol, etc. As I was wandering up and down aisles, I saw a model car and thought, hmmm, he'll be stuck in bed or on the couch for a couple days maybe he'd like something to do. I not only bought the car, I ran over to Michales and picked up paint and paint brushes for it too. Then I wrapped it up. After the procedure, I brought him home and put him in bed, gave him his frozen peas and meds, brought him some ice water, then totally proud of myself went back in with his present and shouted "Happy Vasectomy!" I thought I was quite clever, he damn near popped a couple stitches laughing, then gripped cuz I made him laugh so hard he hurt himself. Him and Caleb finally put that car together about two years later and the whole time they were working on it Darren would shoot me these looks and just howl with laughter.

Not quite a crappy gift, but certainly bad timing, lol. Then there was the year I bought him a cordless drill. I was wrenching my shoulder out of its socket patting myself on the back because I'd gotten such a great deal on it. Darren opened it up and was totally excited and just like a kid with a new toy he opened it up right then and there to try it. Then I found out why it was so cheap. The rechargable batteries shown on the front of the package didn't actually come with the drill. It was probably a good four days before we picked up the batteries and charger and everytime he saw the drill sitting there all he could do was sigh, lol.

Happy Vasectomy!! LOL!

To be fair, I've bought some crappy gifts, too -- the first year we were together, young and poor, we'd only been together about a month and a half by the time xmas rolled around. Not able to afford gifts for all my family, plus something nice for him... I bought myself a sexy little number, wrapped it up, and gave it to him. In MY mind, it was a nice gift -- I thought I was giving him his favourite girl wrapped in something yummy. Apparently not. Six years later, he hasn't let me forget the time I bought him lingerie.

Wargod, your "Happy Vasectomy" story is absolutely hilarious!! (Makes note to get Colossus a vasectomy with frozen peas and model car for Christmas).

PS your husband doesn't know how lucky he is, Karen, mine buys out the Victoria's Secret catelogue weekly for me but I'm never wearing the stuff when he comes home. He would give his left nut if I would present him with something representing sex for his occasions, but I'm a bad wife and get embarrassed by, you know, cheerleader outfits and schmidt. Instead, I'm trying to convince him that granny pants are hawt.

Hehe, I haven't thought about that in quite a while, probably because it still makes me cringe, lol. It had sounded like such a good idea as I was planning it, but definitely not the best delivery!

That's hilarious, War!!!

This isn't quite a husband/wife gift thing but close enough. When hubby and I first met our second date was to Disney World when he came down to Orlando for a week. I was wearing yellow shorts and a yellow top and he said I looked like Tweety Bird. I said, hey, I like Tweety, he's cool. So then when I moved up here I had to get ALL winter clothes. EVERYTHING! So there was a pair of Tweety slippers so I just had to buy them as a joke. Unbeknownst to me hubby told his sister that I collected Tweety things. So for our first Christmas (which is at her house every year) her family gave me tons of Tweety things!!! ACK!!! I had only met these people twice before and I didn't want to say anything and they were my new family so this went on for 6 YEARS!!! I got Tweety everything! OMG! I grew to HATE Tweety! LOL Finally hubby told his sister that it was his mistake for telling her that and I never got another Tweety gift. Thank goodness!!! LOL
