This is an interesting question....what is the worst/strangest/eyebrow raising gift you have received from a boyfriend/husband/lover etc

I've always received very sweet and thoughtful gifts but I guess the "worst" I received was a box of melted chocolates. A bf when I was young (and in Singapore) went to Switzerland and thought he'd get a nice box of chocolates for me...a very sweet gesture... but by the time he got back to Singapore and we saw each other they were pretty much a dark brown/black blobby mess. haha He looked so embarrassed when I opened it and saw them too, poor thing.

My kids dad, who in 9 yrs years of marriage, gave me precisely 3 gifts, was the worst. He presented me with a plastic "fountain", designed to look like a faucet floating in the air above 3 graduated size bowls (with plastic flowers floating in them). I'm sure it would have gone great with a few velvet paintings of kittens and some plastic slip covers in a single wide but not with my raku.

When he moved out I very generously let him take it.

No gift at all is pretty bad.
I dated a guy for 6 years and every time my birthday or christmas would roll around he would say: "Just tell me what you want and I'll go and get it."

My response was always. 'Nothing' (what's the point?)

Ooooh you should have told him a full day at the spa, half of the Godiva counter, your car detailed and tuned up, A full book of movie passes, tickets to a good play or concert. He was asking, why not give him something to work with?

I know what you mean though, you want to feel he's aware know and cares enough to pay attention and figure it out - but they often don't.

My fiancee went to a soccer game and they were handing out t-shirts - So he gave it to me for my birthday with a card...Cheapskate...

You know, for two birthdays and two christmases I told him I wanted my car detailed. (he washed/waxed and detailed his truck every Saturday) And he told me that he couldn't do it because I had a felt mat on my dash and he didn't know how to clean it. WTH?
