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."

This thread is just way too funny!!!
Here goes: On our wedding day, hubby and I exchanged our gifts to each other. Hubby hands me a jewelry box and as I'm opening it, says...."my mother said that every bride should have pearls to wear for her wedding." Big mistake.....I opened the box, there were the pearls and I nearly cried my eyes out. Then hubby says..."oh, I think this is for you, too." A three heart necklace that I had seen at the jewelry store." And I'm sure you're wondering what I gave him.....a leisure suit.......what was I thinking!!!??? LOL

Oh these are just hilarious! The engagement ring stories remind me of the first Christmas my husband (then boyfriend) attempted to surprise me with a great gift. He didn't know at the time that I'm a peeker. He had put a pretty, little box under the tree and I just knew it had to be an engagement ring, so I peeked! It was a roll of film! At least I had a few days to get over my dissapointment before opening the gift in front of him, and the film did come with a camera (which I hadn't found). So it wasn't exactly the worst gift, but we gals love those diamonds!

OK...Myworst gift ever was a wedding gift from my sil(notice I did not say DSIL-LOL!). She gave my DH and I a check for $50. We were really strapped for cash as I was working for $5 an hour and he was working and going to school. Her check bounced which in turn caused us to bounce 3 checks! A very expensive gift in the long run!! 22 years later and she has never acknowledged the bounced check or apologized for it!

Oh my but I am blessed, my DH always gives me the most wonderful gifts. HOWEVER, I have yet to give him anything he "likes" even if it is what he wants. It is never the right color, size, etc. THAT hurts too. SO, he no longer gets anything but a card telling him how much I love him. This is our 21st year together and I would not trade him for the world.

The worse gift I've ever got was a gift certificate for a manicure. For some people, this is a great gift. Unfortunately, not for me. I dislike manicures in general but I also keep my nails short because I work in a hospital lab. I had decided that I would just let the certificate expire when my mother asked if she could have it for a friend two weeks before it expired. I was happy that someone got to indulge themselves and that the gift wasn't wasted.
