to be still wondering why DH got me a balloon modelling kit for Christmas?

[NoahAndTheWhale]

I have been trying to work it out, but I am still baffled. Does he have an urge for there to be weird balloon models all over the place? Does he hope I will turn into a children's entertainer?

Or was it just a present found in the reduced items box?

Prehaps its his way of taking responsiblity for contraception?

Maybe he is dropping a hint
I watched a very strange programme once about a man who got sexually aroused by women blowing up balloons & then he liked to rub them over his body!!

lol- sorry Noah but is he normally this crap at gifts ?

Because he never got given a balloon sausage dog when he was a little boy and wants to ensure your DCs don't suffer similar deprivation?

I had not considered that sort of idea . the balloons are quite thin - not sure they'd be great in a contraceptive way .

He's not normally that bad with presents. This year was a bad year I think...

Well i did get a book about E bay from dh one valentines day , is it for him or me i wonder

Luckily we don't do presents for valentines day or who knows what I'd end up with

I bet he bought it for himself.

I roll this one out on here almost annually, but I got, for my second anniversary, a Puzz 3-d of the Millenial Falcon.

340 pieces of interlocking grey foam.

Be still my beating heart.

The only upside was the teeny sticker of Han Solo. I didn't burn that.

Yes i think so Almostreal dear my these dh/dps need educating

Ask him if he can think of any other creative use of the pump.

this thread made my day brilliant..... my husband last year got me glittery wellies and this year learn how to fly a falcon/bird of prey in a morning voucher fantastic I think our other halves have great optimism for the unearthing of hidden talents.......

I got DH a balloon animals kit for Christmas .

I got him other stuff too, honest.

I thought it would be fun for him and the DC.

Now I feel bad...

I remember googling balloons once, i was looking for them for my parents anniversary party - i was to find some very X-rated sites. I guess if he also bought you pink fluffy handcuffs you have your answer

Oh i would be thrilled to get the falcon thing - do youwant to swap for my breadmaker??

I've bought DH a baloon modelling kit for Christmas (as a stocking filler) because I thought he'd like it. (He did)

I got DH balloon animals too as an advent present
For christmas he got a set that allows you to enclose a full grown adult in a bubble

I think its a great present!

Thread reminds me of simpson's episode where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday with a big H on it. When Marge seems confused, Homer offers to take it off her hands and says "look - here's a co-incidence it's got an H on it for Homer"

Well, there is a particular image coming to mind here......and probably to your other half's:

you blow up all the balloons, get naked, tie them around yourself to hide your modesty and DH approaches carefully with a pin.

The thing is, we're on a bit of a budget so (although this makes me sound awful) if it had been a stocking filler it wouldn't have bothered me. I got the balloon modelling kit and a pot that you put money into (and can't get it out until you smash it). That was it.

I will enjoy making animals I am sure .

I once got my husband one because I thought he'd like a silly present.

An ex once made me a pink frilly apron for Xmas, out of cotton, so useless for actual cooking, even if I was so inclined to wear something that ridiculous.

My assumption was that he wanted me to wear it for bedroom, rather than kitchen activities. But no, he genuinely thought what I really needed was an apron, presumably to heat up my ready meals as that is all I ever ate at that point.

Men get weird ideas in their head about presents sometimes.

Making a pink frilly apron is quite impressive though...
