Re: What was the worst thing
A pelican candle for our 1 year dating anniversary/Valentines Day.
It makes me lol now. I still have it
If someone answers herpes, they win the worst prize award;) Hahahaha.
I can't think of anything bad...let me keep trying.
Meaning, what's the worst gift I've ever gotten from DH? I can't say anything really--he's a good gift-giver.
Former bf's though? Well, one guy I had dated for 3 years got me nothing. Clearly that's the worst, and that was only a small piece of his charming personality.
A flugly brown plastic dish with bad smelling potpourri.
that's really funny
Oh and from DH - he's pretty good at gifts. He gets what I want. lol
Although last year he bought me a watch - it's a niiice watch. I would never have spent that on a watch. Plus, I never wear one. I made a good effort for a few months, but haven't worn it in a long time. Now he mopes and whines a little about how I never wear his gift.
Our first Christmas when we were dating he got my mom and I coordinating lamps. Mine had a little dog and girl statue at the base of the lamp and my moms was shaped like a flower with a butterfly.
They are *kinda* pretty but totally not my style. My mom and I were both like "Umm, Thanks. "
For Valentines Day that year he bought me a diamond ring. I took it to my mom to show it off and she said "Well at least its not a lamp or some other household item."
HaHa.That's hilarious.
Ooh, keep us posted. I'm curious too.
Mine requires explanation. The gift was a mp3 player for my car. The reason it was the worst was because he asked my parents for the money to buy it! He was "broke" because he spent all of his money buying himself new snow gear for a ski trip he was about to take without me.
What was I thinking?! LOSER!
please tell me you still have it. i have a ridiculous obsession w/all things ridiculous & the rock. i would die for that. i'm giggling just thinking about it!
um... i think you meant to say that that was an awesome present! i would totally play HHH!
Oh yea, back then it was awesome and I'm sure the girls will love it later on. But it just goes to show what a weird//crappy gift giver he is.
I don't think I do. It could be shoved in a box somewhere in storage tho.
Hmmmmm.....
DH has always been really good at "getting" me.
The ex BF before him though... He bought me a winter coat that was 3 sizes too big because it fit his sister pretty well - which is great and all except I was 8 inches taller than her and wieghed about 75 lbs less at the time - boo-urns
contemporary american version of the bible.
from my BF of 4 yrs. I'm athiest, fyi.

This falls under the umbrella of " It was the thought that counts" thing, but on our first Valentines day he decided to make me dinner. I really wanted to go out but figured the thought was sweet. Plus he had been bragging about what an awesome steak griller he was and how everyone loves his steaks blah blah blah.
That whole day I was so excited to get back to my apartment to see what kind of culinary delights he had fixed. Plus ( and this was totally my fault) I thought that he was going to propose that night. I get home and see that he was making steak, green beans and texas toast garlic bread. Again not bad but not what I had been building up in my mind since that was what we ate alot. He got me some nice gifts but no engagment ring. I was disappointed but tried to suck it up because hey he wasn't a mind reader how would he have known that is what I was wanting. Finally I bit into my steak and it was awful, just awful. Very tough and I had a hard time cutting it with my knife. I also thought that he didn't go out and buy steak meat he just used some old meat I had in the fridge. The reality was that he really did buy new steak meat just not good quality. At the dinner table I started to tear up. I was so disappoitned because he had built up this amazing dinner and valentine's day for a few weeks now. Finally I told him I was tired and wanted to go to bed early because I didn't want him to see my cry. That was it. Our first valentines day.
I have since apologized for my rude and baby like behavior. I shouldn't have cried and I shouldn't have gone to bed. He was just trying to do something sweet and different and I should have been much more appreciative. SInce then I have tried t o make it up to him and he has tried to make it up to me ( which he doesn't need to do).
my ex BF gave me a gold herringbone necklace. that sucker was thick-- and totally not my style. at all. and he'd ask all the time, "oh how come come you're not wearing your necklace..?" after we broke up, I immediate sold it. lol
Worst boyfriend ever - not b/c of his gift giving - he was just not a nice guy:
A furbee and a talking Cartman (from South Park). Awful.
a used yard glass and a bad quality Dead tape.
eta- ex-boyfried from college. total loser.
ex bf got me an Easter Lily. They stink and I hate getting flowers because they die.
my birthday is in September so I'm pretty sure he "borrowed" it from someone who kept it alive.
