Your Worst Gift ?
#102
I have twin sisters who were born when I was 12. When they were 10 they bought me the ugliest necklace I have ever seen. It had huge charms hanging from it. They were so excited about it. They said it looked just like something I would like. Years later someone I knew husband was going to go drag for Halloween. She asked if I knew someplace that would sell some jewelry that would work. I lent her the necklace. I never got it back. Yeah.
My hubby buys me robes - never lingerie. Robes are on the edges of the lingerie dept. I have told my daughters that if they are ever shopping with dad and need to get rid of him for a while to just walk into a lingerie dept and in 5 steps he has disappeared off the face of the earth. Two months ago my oldest daughter did just that. She was amazed.
I usually give him a detailed list of possibilities and where to get them.
We'll be married 40 years in Feb.
I have done a lot of laughing reading these.

I think he did get me something for Christmas this year because we had a discussion about what I would like , but at this point I confess I'm a bit afraid to be hopeful.

One Christmas DH's parents gave me a blow torch and him a fire extinguisher. We never did figure out what the hell they were thinking but I ended up using the blow torch years later in my silversmithing. Guess they knew what I needed a decade before I did. Or how about the one year they gave me my present and the wrapping was a diaper bag. I was unable to have children and they kept harping about how we needed to have kids.
