Granted I used the new one but we were going to get it anyways.. to toss it in like that.. bad bad plan.

We rarely get presents for each other at Christmas, birthdays, etc. Too many kids, etc. We like to get things during the year, not when you're "supposed" to. Works for us!!

A pan for Valentine's Day.
Yes we are still married. 34 years. He really did put a lot of thought into it because it was exactly what I wanted. Just not for Valentine's Day. Guess what he got the following year!!!

Flowers...because he either would forget to buy something, not want to take the time to think of something/go shopping, and to me that was very inconsiderate and I told him so!!! I told him the next time he did that, I would buy him a bouqet also, and return his other gift(s) :twisted: :wink:
An old boyfriend got the deer in the headlight look Christmas morning, as we were getting ready to open gifts, and said I will be right back!!! Now, we had been dating for almost a year...and he FORGOT???? He came back with this plastic volcano looking fountain thing with cheap animals painted on it...purchased at a convenience store :roll: I handed it back and said, "No Thank You" it meant nothing to him or ME and I handed it back to him.... :x He felt like crap when he opened my well thought out gifts and spent the next 6 months til my birthday trying to make up for it... :wink:

Bouquet after bouquet of Carnations. (Not so fond of bouquets, let alone carnations.)
A wool sweater in grey. (I'm alergic to wool but I love the reason for the color: Because I didn't have anything in grey. Hm, I wonder why?)
When I was 16, I got a gynormous bottle of Chanel No.5
when I was 48 I got earrings that were suited for a 10-year old.
A skirt with ruffles on the hips. MY HIPS ALREADY HAVE RUFFLES! They don't need any more.
I finally put a stop to the madness. Like I told DH: "I know that I am an ungrateful b****. If I were you, I would simply accept that fact and move on."
