The year I was 10 I received 2 sewing baskets from my 2 aunts. Showed me how little my family communicated and how little they knew me.

My boyfriend at the time gave me a crockpot for Valenetine Day. His Mother told him,I would like it. I married him anyway ; )

No appliance shall EVER be a holiday gift!!! (Unless it's one of those $300 Kitchenmaid mixers....) and I did spend hubby's gift card on a Dyson vacuum a few birthdays ago. But that was different.

Boyfriend's mother gave me peanut brittle. My boyfriend and I both had braces. Originally, she gave it to him, he said he couldn't eat it, so she gave it to me.

My husband (yes, I married this man and gifts aside, he is very good to me) gave me a box of fireplace matches on our first christmas together. I lived in an apartment, I did not have a fireplace.

MrsPremise says,

My ex gave nice gifts, but later on I realized that all his ex girlfriends, wives got the same gifts---binoculars, Ann Taylor, mall jewelry... the only thing that was truly "Me" was the binoculars, and that was a co-incidence

In the 6th grade...copper-colored courduroy GAUCHO pants which would have been VERY cool if they had just been actual pants. I've never gotten over it.

My boyfriend (at that time) gave me a smoke-less ashtray....he was a smoker....I have asthma. To this day, the memory of that gift cracks me up.

MsKillie says,

My ex always bought things he wanted for me- reminded me of Homer buying Marge a bowling ball. He bought me a huge iPod I didn't want, and accessories for the truck he ended up taking in our divorce. I would have rather have had nothing, since it was my money he was spending!

Mourningdove says,

Mm a trend thoughtless or selfish or cheap ; )

Mourningdove says,

Geez,

JCStander says,

A stone that would "help me with my issues" and then she dumped me.

An etiquette/manners book. Subtle hint?

TucsonDawn says,

A coffee pot, on Valentine's Day.
