My ex-husband on our last Christmas together bought me a frying pan, slippers that were too small (I wear a size six) and a used paperback copy of "Out of Africa" with a sales receipt in it for a bookmark.
Also to those of you that have gotten various appliances,you should have followed my sister-in-laws' example. She told her husband. "If it comes with a cord, it is an appliance not a present."

I got an old car once. After Christmas morning at home, without a single gift for me, we were on our way out to his parent's house and we drove by the shop and he waved towards the shop and said "that old car is your gift." Of course he sold it the next week. He didn't even bother that much from then on.

For my birthday one year my (DH) asked what I wanted and I told him a mothers ring with all our birthstones in it. They had them on sale at Kmart half price (back then they used real stones) I got a $5 marquisette ring and it had a couple stones missing... I asked for the receipt and made him drive me to the store to return the ring and I bought myself the mothers ring.....with his debit card!

As a young girl I waanted this really cool set of colored pencils. I was drawing and shading, and the higher grade pencils was all I wanted. My Mom made sure my Dad knew what we each wanted and sent him out to pick up a few presents. He got me a set of felt markers. It was all I could do to not sit down and cry. At least I was able to wait until I could get to my room.

I was visiting friends overseas and was given a picture made with dried flowers. It was simply not my kind of thing at all.
Fortunately Australia has very strict quarantine regulations. I showed it to the agriculture officers at the airport and they told me it had not one, but three varieties of prohibited flowers.
That was the last I saw of that picture.
