My husband, in his infinite wisdom, has decided that...

[BrightlyCloudedSky]

As he hasn't organised a gift for his brother's wedding, I should sit down tomorrow and draw or paint a picture to be framed and given. Reader, I cannot draw. Nor paint. 🤔

🤣

I think you should definitely do this - paint a stick man who's received his divorce papers!

This made me laugh aloud!

🤣🤣🤣
Give him the crayons!

He clearly thinks you possess artistic skills that you haven’t yet realised ! 😂🤣🤭

Potato prints are fun to make. Then you can throw the potatoes at his head afterwards.

Do it anyway and send us a photo!

He could just buy a nice picture frame. Or was that going to be your job too 🙄

I think you should seize this opportunity, OP. A searing avant-garde abstract meditation on the modern bondage of the married state. Perhaps using your own menstrual blood.

I second the potato print idea! Genius 🤣

Aw shucks.... he thinks you are wonderful!!
You lucky girl you!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤

If they did a registry just pick something off that? If not order something nice via Amazon and just put in the card that the gift in on its way.

🤣

I have a home art studio if that tells you anything. I love personal gifts, but handmade wedding gifts are rare and very carefully matched to the recipient.

🤣

Make something really shit and wrap it up before he gets to see it. In the card, write something along the lines of:

"DH chose you something truly unique."

Then let him deal with the fallout.

Do one of those butterfly things that children do...folded paper, blobs of paint, or in your case, husbands blood, fold up, write on it 'happy wedding day bro'

🤣🤣

You have to do this - for MN giggles at least!

How about a fingerprint family picture?

while I know the received wisdom on MN is that wedding gift lists are grabby and not acceptable - this right here is the best argument for them I’ve ever heard.

A nice sensible John Lewis gift list your DH could pick from would avoid the couple having to give house room to their new sister-in-law’s questionable art.

Is he joking or is he just an idiot?

Oh god please tell me this is real.

Please do this. They will have to put it on the wall every time you visit.

😂

Actually could you find a child who could do a picture of the bride and groom? Aged 3 would be best.

😄😄

Sometime in the near future I hope we get a thread posted from a bemused new bride and her obscure framed wedding gift.
