Just enjoying reading this whole thread...

But if it was me giving the gift, I would have forgotten what I gave you...lol Not good at remembering those kinds of things.


I make it a rule when I give my son's fiance something that if she does not like or want to not give it a second thought and get rid of it! I had too many tacky cheap crap items I had to parade out when the MIL showed up, I do not want her to feel like she has to fill her house with junk.

All gifts should have a disclaimer enclosed: "If this gift is not to your liking, feel free to gift it back" I always buy gifts that I would want myself.

At Christmas we each buy a gift then draw numbers and fight over the gifts. When we started I bought things I thought people would like. But for the last few years I have bought things I want. They are the gifts everyone fights over.
 
I could have a long list of worst gifts.

My dad always wanted to give me things he wanted his son to have....too bad I was a girl. Wood carving, wood burning, used science kits...etc Or oil paints. My dad thought I should also be an artist and only use canvas and oil. I hated the smell of thinner so those were not my favorite gifts. I did like art, but not the smelly oil paint.

My X husband gave me a "slinky black dress" right after I lost a bunch of baby weight. Only he bought it in the "foundations" department and it was really a girdle.

I one got a lecture from the lady at the card shop when I traded the recipe box that they ex got me for the one that I had showed him I really wanted. Never went back to that card shop............ (he got me the same one I already had not the book style one I wanted)

That's my kind of slinky black dress, it sounds perfect. Holds everything in. You could have just cooked dinner for two at home, winked at him and said "Let's say in tonight". He wouldn't have been any the wiser.

I think I opened it on my birthday and burst in to tears at the idea of him giving me a griddle....he explained after I stopped crying

Oh, yes, baby weight. Hadn't thought of it that way.

I was just thinking that if I were going to squeeze myself into a black dress, I'd prefer it to be a girdle! And I haven't had any kids, so there ya go!

Pretty much from my well-meaning but clinically insane grandmother. She will get cheap useless junk at the dollar store or a garage sale and give it to me as though it is heirloom crystal or silver.

Also, when I was pregnant, she made some maternity clothes for me that "are highly flammable. Be sure you don't cook while you're wearing them and for God's sake DON'T put them in the dryer!"
