AIBU to hate my Christmas present from DH

I've realized DH has bought me a gift set of chutneys this year and I hate it. Especially as I helped him choose a lovely gift for his mother which cost three times as much and which I would have loved. I can't even take it back because it's gift food. Is that all I'm worth to him a tenners worth of chutneys? AIBU?

Can you send me the chutney then?
I'd love chutney for xmas. But loathe the candles and toiletries that I get given each year (not by DH).

Maybe he has been reading this thread and realised his present is crap! I think even with a budget of a tenner you can get some good stuff! I have seen some good makeup sets etc this year for that. What I find worse about this is he doesn’t seem to know what you like or don’t like! My fiancé spends more on me than his mum! I get the same as his daughter! Though I would be happy with a tenner present if it was well though out!

By the way, it is too heavy to be crackers.

My dh is being weird. I asked for a new night dress. Normaly i hate it when he buys them because i have loads but could do with a new one. Hes making me one ffs. I don't have the heart to say please don't bother. He bought a small sewing machine ok for taking up trousers or something but hes being odd. He has never made any clothes why would i want a home made night dress

Ha ha. A homemade nightdress. That is class. We will need a picture on Christmas Day. That is truly hilarious.

Yes thecats. Could you start a thread about this please, building up to the big reveal on Christmas Day?

Ginkypig · 20/12/2017 22:34

Oh please please show us the results of the nightdress!

If it works out well then it's actually a really sweet present.

lilypoppet · 21/12/2017 18:05

My gift to him from me arrived today. It's a North Face hat made of really soft wool. I think he'll like it :)
