My DH bought me many, in his words, "handy" gifts over the years. A particular low-light had to be the steam mop. He was very nearly wearing it when it arrived !
I sooooo want to enter this, but the key part is that you have to have received a gift in the first place! My hubby says the following about flowers "You're just watching them die slowly". As for chocolate, I remember him buying me some on our second date. He handed over a half eaten bar, looked at me with soppy eyes and said he was hungry on the way over!
Vomit? My ex husband wanted to take me somewhere for a romantic meal so we tried a restaurant we hadn't been to before. He had paella. Twice. In the sink in the room in the guest house we were staying in. Needless to say, I was not impressed and told him to be quiet while I pulled the covers over my head to try to get some sleep!
One Christmas I was given two sets of underwear as presents. One was pretty, lacy and gorgeous, the other was sturdy, cotton and dull. Set 1 was from my mother. The dull, sensible set was from OH.
My hubby bought me a wok for Christmas years ago. It was cast iron and so heavy I couldn't even lift it. At least it meant he had to cook the stir fries.
I got what I thought was a tennis ball wrapped in tinfoil along with a small box from DH, for Christmas. He told me to open the box first and it turned out to be a wrist watch. Then I had to unwrap the "tennis ball" - that turned out to be an apple.
"I thought you might like an apple-watch" said he - knowing I'd been looking at the real thing on-line. Not exactly what I had in mind, darling!
My other half got me some Sea Monkeys for my birthday, yes sea monkeys lol. They died after a few days because I moved them from under my desk to the window so that they could get some light. Lol such a thoughtful gift of love lol.
My husband was being all mysterious just before my birthday, he went off to 'organise' something a couple of days before. I was totally convinced he was getting me a kitten for my birthday as I had been dropping hints. On the big day he went off mid morning to pick up my present. It was a CHEESECAKE! A lovely cheesecake I admit that he had ordered in advance from the speciality bakery. He knew I wasn#t terribly impressed though!
The least romantic i have ever received is nothing,You can't get no more unromantic than that can you?All together now ah lol. But to be fair i have never bought hubby anything either.We have been married many years now with money being tight when we first wed then kiddies,romantic gifts were not a priority.But my hubby was never first inline when romance was being dished out & i can't see him changing now.But i must be doing something right as we have been wed over 40yrs lol.But wow betide him if he EVER forgets my birthday lol.
One year, we was doing up the house, going to take the paint off the banisters, so for Valentines day I was given a Heat Gun - to help me with my DIY job, He has since known I prefer chocolates and flowers
I was less than happy to be given a pair of sunglasses....not my idea of a romantic present although they were nice. However a room freshener was probably the worst!!! Maybe he was hinting!
