Weirdest thing your SO bought..

So my husband got a box in the mail today and when I told him about said box he flipped out and acted like a kid on Christmas morning.. He then ripped open the box and screamed MY HOT DOG TOASTER IS HERE... I then became very confused and asked him why and where he bought a hot dog toaster.. He told me zulily and I didn't believe him.. Sure enough they are on there.. He apparently ordered it a month ago.. When I asked him again why he bought this.. He said "well when the baby is getting hard foods and wants a hot dog we won't have to boil water or get the grill hot to make hot dogs.. We will just stick them in the toaster!!" I am now trying to decide if my husband is really crazy or really smart.. And then it got me thinking about what weird things have other people's SOs gotten.. So let's hear it ladies what is one or some of the weirdest thing your SO has gotten?


Edit because my picture didn't attach

    Yeah my hubby isn't a big shopper but he can be an annoying one :). He takes forever just to get a few groceries and always spends too much cause he gets sucked in by deals and Air Miles reward points etc.

    Bahahaha! That's adorable. It seems kind of impractical to me, but you never know. Cute that he's so excited about it though. :)

    I don't think my hubby has ever bought anything that weird, but I'm mentally searching through 8 years of memories, so I may have forgotten about something. ;)

    I should probably make that a thing before we start getting more weird things in boxes.. However I do like his "reasoning" behind why he bought it.. He said he only spent $20 something on it so I can't be too mad but really a hot dog toaster of all things to buy..

    He specifically asked for a butterfly beard comb for father's day. He's actually been participating in a contest to try to win it. I bought the damn $50 comb because he doesn't ask for much and it will make him happy.

    My husband is a diva. He takes FOREVER to buy clothes. When we shop we just go to our separate departments now because I don't have the patience to watch him walk around and squat in pants. 

    My husband gets upset when I take too long in the store but when I send him he takes hours and comes back with a whole trunk load of groceries when I ask for 5 things lol at least he gets food from the store lol he finds all of his weird stuff online lol he usually tells me first though lol

    The hot dog thing is very cute and it's even cuter why he bought it!!

    I also buy all my husbands clothes.... He wears a fire uniform everyday so that and his boots are the only thing he buys and they come to him!

    Although he did buy me a big roaster for Christmas one year and I had no clue why, he thought I would like it I guess

    This sounds exactly like my hubby! He will buy anything if it's a good deal, even if we don't need it, but refuses to pay full price even when we NEED something. It drives me crazy! I keep trying to tell him it's not a good deal if it's not something we need/use, but it hasn't sunk in yet. Maybe one day? A girl can hope, right? ;)

    I thought mine was the only one. And don't even talk about shoes around him. I'm not kidding when I say he has 60 pairs of shoes.

    My husband is completely obsessed with candles! He easily has around 75 of them. He is always buying more at the store and ordering them online. He is also obsessed with Lush. He will order $150 worth of shampoo bars, soaps, and moisturizing bars. I don't know any other guy that does that!

    My fiance will buy anything red wings! We have 5 of those key chain beenie boos...the same ones and they're all on a shelf in my living room...we also have the goal light sitting next to the TV (he keeps threatening to nail it to the ceiling in the middle of the room) and yes, of course it makes the buzzer noise and has the flashing light that's powered by remote control. He has a sticker from the red wings shoe store(totally unrelated to the hockey team) on our refrigerator...but he won't buy a picture or poster or anything like that...just the little stuff that makes no sense at all...

    I can't think of anything that off the wall my husband has purchased recently, but I just wanted to say that the hot dog toaster is really cute. It sounds like he really wanted it for himself and now that there is a baby coming he has an excuse to get it!

    While a lot of the things that my husband gets aren't strange, I feel like he uses the kids as an excuse to get things he wants.

    Your husband sounds awesome. I wish my husband was obsessed with Lush, he thinks it's dumb but he will buy it for me cuz it makes me happy.

    My husband is obsessed with guns. He spends ridiculous amounts of money on guns, especially "high end" brand guns. It makes him happy and he works hard so I don't mind, but a few weeks ago he brought home a gun that looks like an assault rifle. It shoots full soda cans. I just don't know about that one.

    My brother, his best friend, and my husband spent $100 on PVC pipe to make a potato gun to shoot giant potatoes down the street.. They also had to get like 10 cans of hair spray and a grill starter for a propane powered grill.. All because they wanted to see what it looks like when a potato flies down the street.. They warned everybody on the street that this was the time they were doing there experiment and to be careful and if they wanted to join to come down to the house.. At least they were responsible.. Thankfully we weren't expecting yet because they spent almost $200 on everything... My husband is also in the NRA and likes to buy the nicest guns as well..

    Mine buys home brew stuff all the time. We a 15 gallon pot; do you know how big a 15 gallon pot is?!?!?! It's ridiculous!

    However, with clothes and other things he's definitely a "minimalist" (cough cheapass) and still has clothes from high school. He's 32! When I met him he had a big 4 bedroom house with almost nothing in it. The things he had were all given to him second hand from friends or family.

    Haha thanks! Ever since we got to Kansas he really wants to get a gun. They seem to really like their guns here so he wants one too lol I'm all for it if he takes me to a shooting range and teaches me to shoot!

    My DH loves antiques, belt buckles and anything PBR. He just ordered PBR chapstick it was only 2 bucks so can't complain but really why? I definitely don't mind the antiques though. As for clothes t-shirt and jeans as long as it fits he is good to go.

    DH just the other day bought an economy box of 'snap pops' (those little things that you throw onto the ground and they pop).
    This is 40 of the smaller boxes. Because it was such a good deal.

    Is your husband an engineer by chance?  Because I think he might be related to my engineer husband;)
    We still use hand me down dressers in our bedroom because, "they work".

    YES!!! We still have some of the hand me down furniture around the house too! Engineers are a special breed of people. It takes a lot of patience to have husbands like ours!

    @oorl11052015 Showed the photo to my hubs and now he wants one too!

    I think it's a cute and great idea, and I actually kind of like it. Sometimes I'm lazy about cooking, or too tired. I would love to experiment with my veggie sausages!

    Our daughter is his excuse to buy Disney movies...even though HE will watch them probably long before she is even born or can even comprehend them.  He is musically inclined and literally knows every song to every Disney movie, and can tell you what is happening in the movie during that song.

    The hot dog thing is probably the most random and cutest thing I have heard of a dad buying.  When I was pregnant with my son, we were living in Texas (he was a June baby), so one day my husband came home with a really big pair of sunglasses.  Obviously meant for a child, but more like fully grown child, like a 10 year old.  When asked why, he said that is was really sunny here, so the baby would need sunglasses when we went out.  It was so sweet, but I could't help but laugh at how big they were.

    My SO & I run all of our purchases past each other, so there hasn't been any surprises.

    However, he will ONLY buy toiletries that specifically say "For Men" on them. He refuses to use lotion, face wash, shampoo, etc. if it doesn't specify that it's meant for men. I always tease him that companies take advantage of guys' obsessions w/masculinity & charge extra just for something to say "For Men". Smh.
