What was the worst gift you ever got from your husband or boyfriend?

If you did get one, did you wish you could put him in the doghouse? If so watch this Ad promotion for JC Penny- it's hilarious. LOL!

The worst gift I got was from my ex-boyfriend. I went out for weeks buying thoughtful and cute gifts. I gave him my wrapped presents, they were wonderful. I wait for him to come back from his bedroom closet he brings me some Jergens lotion and this caveman doll that when you lifted the "skirt" he had a p****. Are you serious????? I threw his gifts in his garbage and left...

Ouch...yeah, I'm not sure I would handle that well, either. I would assume it was a passive-aggressive comment on my weight or something. :)

The WORST gift I ever got from my husband happened to be for my birthday this year. He went out the afternoon of my birthday. He came home with two oversized guy T-shirts...gave me the bag and said, "Here, stop wearing mine." He was totally joking around, and if you look deeper into the scenerio, it was actually a very thoughtful gift! It's what I always wear around the house as a WAHM! I think it was the lack of pre-thought into the gift that bothered me...Goes to show how shallow I can still be getting upset over a gift!

A $2000 cashier's check. His logic was that I was too difficult to shop for so he would give me a universal gift card and I could get what I wanted. My pov was that he was too lazy to even put some thought into what I MIGHT have wanted, no snooping, no asking my friends, no thinking about my personality.
Turned out it was a pretty good gift afterall. He knew me better than I thought. I put it into CDs and let it accumulate. He appealed to the practical side of me. Though a tennis bracelet would have been desired.
