Ill start, DH (before we were married) brought me a jumper that was skin tight, bright blue with Garfield on the front.
Ok so i did like Garfield but there was no way i was EVER going to be seen in this as Garfield had his paws right where my boobs were!!!!!

He re-wrapped it and gave it to his sister, and she wore it !!!!!!

Just had a memory of a scene from Bridget Jones where he has the big reindeer on the front!!!

DumbledoresGirl · 24/10/2006 19:35

The thing that dh gave me that disappointed me most was our first Christmas together. Bearing in mind I had already made up my mind I wanted to marry this man, he gave me a small gift. I wasn't gullible enough to think it was an engagement ring, but I reckoned on it being an expensive piece of jewellery. It turned out to be a small (2 inch) toy rabbit thing, dressed in a pink dress - so completely not my thing and so completely meaningless and unspecial. I have never told him what I thought of his poxy rabbit, but it now lives at the bottom of dd's toy box....

My dp can be quite good at gifts if he puts the time in but he does insist on buying me cards with bloody teddybears on them. I HATE them.

AlienEars · 24/10/2006 19:40

Coathangers. Not even 'special' coathangers - not that would have made it any better - but a bulk bargain pack of plastic multicoloured hangers from Woolies. He did wrap them, but I still had a pretty good inkling as to what was within...

Never had a dodgy Christmas gift, now birthday............Electric toothbrush anyone ??

SherlockLGJ · 24/10/2006 19:44

AlienEars

2 Xmases ago Dh got me a mens North Face jacket (red & black size M if anyone's interested - keep meaning to put it on EBay) Was not impressed!!!

Lilymaid · 24/10/2006 19:46

A mouldy second hand book that the worm had been through. He also thought the DSs would love to receive a green light bulb in their stockings.

A barbie doll - the one which came with multi-coloured beads to go in her hair

loomer · 24/10/2006 20:02

LOL at the hangers AlienEars!! I think I can beat it though. Our first christmas together DH made me a stocking (aw bless), which contained some rechargable batteries, two pritt sticks (I guess I could have got through the first one pretty quickly in theory), two rape alarms (one for each hand?!?!), and a video of the B-movie horror "Driller Killer" (I have absolutely no interest in horror films).

I put him straight the next day - seemed a bit harsh to have a go at him on Christmas morning, as all these gifts were sincerely given. Well perhaps not the video - even he couldn't come up with a reason as to why he had bought it. The numpty.

SherlockLGJ · 24/10/2006 20:10

Take it he has stopped now.....

OMG just had a thought, with his cholesterol he will probably buy you a George Foreman grilling machine this year.

scarysuejonez · 24/10/2006 20:11

pair of big brown felt slippers from Uzbekistan about 4 sizes too big with sticky up pointy pixie toes.

wrinklytum · 24/10/2006 20:11

a set of garden gnomes

TheDaVinciCod · 24/10/2006 20:12

how cna oyur dh get you NOTHING
id have never married a man who got me nothing

scarysuejonez · 24/10/2006 20:13

loomer, the fact that he couldn;t come up with an explanation for the video sort of implies that he DID have an explanation for the pritt stick and batteries?! Or do we not want to hear it before the 9pm watershed?

BettyBatShapedSpaghetti · 24/10/2006 20:13

A disgusting black jumper that looked like something from a market stall aimed at women my Mums age.

DP still cringes with embarrassment when I remind him of it -he bought it in desperation last thing one Xmas Eve rather than not get me anything.

NOMurDErousPLUME · 24/10/2006 20:13

One year I told my DH I'd like underwear for my birthday...... He bought me a minimiser bra

TheDaVinciCod · 24/10/2006 20:14

TheDaVinciCod · 24/10/2006 20:14
