Post Holiday Question . . . Funny or Bad Presents You've Received!
Share . . . what are some funny or bad presents you have gotten this year or years past from your loved ones?!
I got roses from the gas station one year!! They were some real beauts!!!! As i write this i am looking at the desk our phone sits on...it consists of 13 different sockets, a razor blade and some welding tips. Earlier in the day i had done some laundry. I have a drying rack which i use religiously and it was in use. I go down to the basement to fold another load and here is my "wonderful" husband SANDING a drawer right by my drying rack. I asked him "nicely" what the H he was doing? His response? Sanding. I proceeded to inform him that there were clean damp clothes right next to him and he just looks at me and says "oh". He claims hand sanding isnt THAT dusty. I am constantly picking up tools, nuts, bolts etc around this place and then he wonders why he cant find half his crap!!

Nothing like a fine dust layer on your drying clothes . . . sticking to the dampness. Next time you wear a shirt, that will feel and look fantastic. lol Men are about as hard to raise as children. (no offense men who may be reading). But who decides to just sand in the basement where stuff is? Isn't that a drive way project?
My husband asks me where everything is. I'm a walking rolodex for where his glasses are, where the green beans are in the pantry, where the oil is for the car he's working on . . . I'm not sure how much longer my brain can keep track of it all. :))

Mine always loses his glasses. I tell him they are where he put them!!! Where's the paper towels, where's the kleenex, where's my flashlight blah blah blah!
My husband loses his own things and blames anyone else. "Did you take my --- ?" and it's always something nobody in the world would touch besides him. Like, rasty old hat that smells like the top of his head, plug to charge his telephone (only works with his telephone), military unit challenge coin that he carries in his pocket, newspaper he took with him to Starbucks.
I keep track of EVERYTHING in the house, right? Once in a blue moon, my keys go a missing. And my husband will say "if you only put things in the same spot all the tine". This results in my giving him the death stare as he walks away in shame. No joke, a few nights ago, he was monopolizing the tv in our room. I was not in the moon for sports chatter so said, whatever, and went downstairs and was reading a book and he comes down and asks ME where the remote is. Gosh, marriage is romantic. lol
moon = mood
Isnt it tho as i sit here and fold his underpants!!! lol
Hang the underpants, when damp, in his sanding area. Then fold, put in his drawer.
LOL!!
My husband bought me a baking pan for Christmas, the kind you bake brownies in, which is pretty dull and domestic but would not have been impossible except that I opened the cupboard and pulled out (for him to see) not one, not two, but three new baking pans exactly the same as the one he just bought. He does dishes, he puts things away, he even ruins my brownie pans by baking chicken in them, how could he not know we have THREE new ones?

ha, it was probably on sale as he walked passed it. My sister gets diamonds and I get spatulas. Life just ain't fair.
I'm sure he walked past it and said to himself, "Hey, there's one of those pans I cook chicken in! I'll give it to Brooke for Christmas!" Last of the red-hot lovers, him.
Your husband and my husband should be friends.
They would see eye to eye. Unfortunately, if your husband were to take gift advice from my husband, sooner or later you would get a pair of earrings featuring little dangling wooden shoes. (You don't want your husband to know my husband.)
Have I told you about the basement shelf we have? That's where I put all of the beauties my husband brings home to us from his business trips. There's the brass covered Manneken Pis figurine that makes my son's giggle whenever I point to it. There's little replicas of buildings, lizards and things scratched onto a leather patch. A small hot dog shaped vehicle. Real treasures given as prized gifts. (You don't want my husband to know your husband either.)
Do you remember the Island of Unwanted Toys in one of those perennial Christmas shows? (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, I think.) You have the Museum of You-Really-Shouldn't-Have Gifts.

I need to give no commentary on this romantic gift . . . umbrella with a flashlight on the end of it.

My list of questionable gifts is long . . . I didn't marry my husband for the presents he gives me.
But my sons. God love them. They were so excited to give me a present they had picked out together when with their dad shopping. (need I say more). It was big and an odd shape. I open it up and it is a large (and I mean big) gold letter M. I look at it. My kids are big smiles . . . it's your initial, it's your initial. My name does not start with M. They call me Mama and I guess forget that only they do that. I proudly display my decorative metal gold M. I never said a word and gave BIG thank you's!

One year i had a gift under the tree, big and had fragile on it. I left it alone as i didnt want to break it. Xmas comes and i am handed this gift. I am careful to unwrap....I get it opened and here is a big pack of Northern toilet paper! When i first got with my husband the house toilet paper was the ultimate worst. I think it was 24 rolls for a 1.00 the way it felt. You spent the next 3 hrs picking out splinters from the plywood that was in the tp. It was so horrid and all i could think about was those poor kids(they were girls). I took over the tp buying and it was a huge hit with the kids and myself! We were no longer scared to go to the bathroom and could finally put away the tweezers!! He has always given me a bad time about the fine tp he provided claiming there was nothing wrong with it. I bet if i checked my bottom end i would still have those splinters and some left over asbestos lodged in my arse!!
