The worst gift you ever got from your spouse/companion?

A dining room table with benches; it fills the entire tiny dining room and doesn't match any of the other furniture.

Yeah, mine. Yes it was awful. The other person didn't stop and plowed into me and my husband. Destroyed my van and hurt my husband.He had to go to physical therapy and so did I because it hit on my side and displaced my hip. The doctor put my husband off work for a year. We had a lawyer who happened to be friends with the other persons insurance adjuster and we got hardly anything at all as far as a settlement. The other persons insurance did pay my van off and that left me with $75.00. It was a mess. Sorry to rant on and on but it still makes me angry to think about it.

Your wife?  Sounds like you're buying gifts for your mistress and when your wife finds out you are forced to give them to her instead.

I'm in my 20s and I got an Easter basket from my mom. The best thing in it wasn't edible at all- she got me a bracelet!

Well, I say if this is your first christmas together, you should get him something that only the two of you would understand!!! for ex. when my husband and I first met, my hubby called me Jingle, cause I always would sing Jingles from commercials.  He bought me a bell for christmas, it was engraved, and a very insightful gift, personal and it showed me that he had put some thought into it.

The boyfriend doesn't respect the gift he bought for you - and doesn't respect you.  Is it your gift or a leftover?  It sounds like you need a new boyfriend.

In ninth grade, a friend who I liked promised me that he would have something for me at lunch the Friday before V-Day. (It was on Sunday, if I remember right.) I waited for him at lunch, but he didn't show up — he'd had band that day. I confronted him, he apologized profusely (he actually called himself a "selfish pig"), and I got the gift the following Monday. (A dating book he'd compiled out of Far Side comics.) We had a falling-out a few months later, and I gave it back. I regretted it deeply then, but I don't really care about it anymore.

MY worst Christmas was the Christmas after my 15-year-old son died from leukemia.   We missed him and were sad - and a lot of our friends and family didn't know what to do or say - so they kind of avoided us.   \n\nTrying to put up the tree and unpacking ornaments that this child had made and we had hung on the tree every year - was absolutely heart-wrenching.   \n\nLittle things kept coming up - Do you put his stocking up? Do you try to keep up the little traditions?   We ended up setting a plate out at his place at the table, and putting a rose on top of it.  \n\nI got up on Christmas morning to find my other son sobbing in front of the tree - saying he missed his brother getting up early to see what "Santa brought".   \n\nIt is hard to describe how horrible that first Christmas was after this loss.

Thank them then chuck it away, I know it's the thought that counts but obviously very little thought (if any) went into that gift ... Actually, donate it to charity, make an unfortunate person smile :-)

The gift of time.  I would rather my boyfriend spend a weekend with me than buy me something.

Be creative.  My husband filled our bedroom with candles, put soft music on and had a platter of my favourite foods.  Give her your time and show some thought.  So much better than a big expensive gift.

Well, my husband was in the same boat earlier this week we were separating. He started with flowers ( red roses ) and brought me some special cookies from Cookies Creation. Then we sat down and talked it out. We are now both at home again and trying. I liked that he actually thought about my needs instead of just his. Any type of small gift will show her that you do care...be sure to say a lot of I am sorry's. Good luck.

Ohhh...I have MANY. However, once while I was managing a photography studio in college, this woman came in to pick up her photos. The photog who took them was not the best, but she tried and the child being photographed was AWFUL, screaming the entire time. This woman stood in my studio screaming, literally at the top of her lungs, at me because the pictures weren't perfect. She seemed to be almost enjoying the humiliation and anger she was causing in me. I managed to somehow restrain myself and ended up giving her the entire package free just to get rid of her. Ick...\n\nAnother time, I had a woman who made me re-take an absolutely beautiful photo of her two month old daughter because her finger was pointed funny. LOL. Ohhh, and then there are those parents who tell their kids to smile or they will get their asses beat...\n\nOh, and then there is Xmas season...oye...I could go on and on and on...
