Well meant gifts that didn't hit the mark

[imnotthatkindofmum]

Here's a thread to post your disappointing gifts that you can't be disappointed with in real life! Let off a little steam without upsetting anyone!!

My lovely daughter bought me some novelty earrings. I never wear novelty earrings but she's so proud of them i have to wear them. She was so secured about me opening them but now I have to work out how little I can get away with wearing them so she doesn't realise I hate them!

Also DH only bought what was on my list. It was a cheap and simple list. I would have liked him to choose something he thought I would like. After 22 years not sure why I expect that though!

"Well keep it then" was unhelpful and unnecessary. It came across as sarcastic and rude.

This couldn't possibly be described as a "thought" worth sharing. It was just unpleasant and pointless.

they do need a bit of extra looking after. but I always do with my best knives. immediately washed and carefully dried. again, I've only had mine since November or December, but it's definitely good quality, and worth taking good care of.
I'm the same even with a cheap knife if it cuts well.
