Aaaah. He's done it again. I know this is a first world problem and people will say but my dh doesn't get me anything but he is driving me up the wall. DH has just come back from a business trip with my birthday present - Chanel no. 5. He asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said perfume. I gave him some ideas but basically said anything except no. 5 - I got given a bottle 2 years ago and have been dutifully working my way through it. I don't like it but waste not want not. Couldn't wait to get to the end of it and actually have something I liked. He got my Chanel no. 5 "because he knew I already had it so must like it". Grrr. Yes, I know I am an ungrateful bitch but this is the only present I will get and it's another bloody 2 years of smelling of no.5 unless I can pass it off onto someone else!

Can you donate it to a school charity raffle fundraiser or something similar?

OP I feel your pain . It is my birthday today and my DH gave me a bottle of wine because he couldn't think of anything else! This was despite me telling him for weeks that I would love a voucher for a new Spa that has had rave reviews. I didn't say anything but he must have twigged so suggested we go out for lunch . First 2 places we went to were full so ended up in Costa and he had forgotten his wallet so I ended up paying ! Now watching Midsomer Murders and working my way through a bottle of Prosecco .
