I somehow posted wrong, so reposting: Most men think practical, and really are thinking with their heart. The first year after my hubby came back from overseas (a Marine), the following Valentines Day he bought me a dozen pair of different socks. While at first I was not impressed, he dug a deeper hole, explaining my unnatural need to rub my icy feet up and down his hairy legs, seeping warmth. Bright guy caught on quick when the next morning I went shopping for adult sized pjs that are like the toddlers with feet in them and zip up the front.
But the worst is one which started from my sis whom got it from a work gift exchange: a dessert plate (white) painted with tiny veggies around the edges, with tiny glued clay slices of pie and cake. Glued in the middle is a life sized fake pineapple. It is hollowed so electric wiring and pipe can go through it: the front of the pineapple has a clock, and on top of the pineapple are seven different colored pastel tulips that light up. Sis wrapped and regifted to my son, and it shows up during birthdays, wedding and baby showers, Christmas, housewarmings, hidden in closets when visiting if we think we can get by with it. Whomever has it, by rules of our own, must display it in either living or family rooms until we pawn it to someone else. Last year, sis had it again, and we all flew to Texas to be with family. She stashed it in her bag. Didn't make it through the first time, but as it was being inspected, got lots of laughs in explaining. She begged them to take convescate it, but they turned her down.
