Soul Salad Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 A couple of years ago my Sister in law and husband brought me: 1. An orange/brown tweed waistcoat (never worn a waistcoat) 2. Purple and green Lycra cycling shorts (i don't have a bike) 3. A cow breeds calendar?? NOT being ungrateful at all! - Any others?

Would've been OK Ish if i lived in the country but i live on the seafront in Eastbourne - No sheep/No cows - actually we did go on a very lovely holiday once to Ayrshire and visited a sheep sanctuary no less - a sheep breed calendar would've been a "slightly" better gift
Stephen Houghton Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 A few years back I bought the wife a second hand chainsaw from the car boot , she was a bit annoyed I think because I didn't wrap it up lol 3

Zoomsoulblue Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 I brought the missus as an extra pressie the black and decker sanding kit / all in a nice case - about 15 years ago - still goes on about it every effing year she needs to move on and get over it 1 1
Happy Feet Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 Some yrs back my brother asked his wife , what would you like for Xmas " Surprise Me " she answered, so he bought her a brand new mop & bucket , took her a few months to forgive him lol 1
6T's Mojoman Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 Being a thoughtful boyfriend at the time, & remembering a time when she had a close call nearly running out of petrol, so one of the presents she received lovingly wrapped for Christmas in the 80's was a petrol can , can't have put be in the bad books for too long as we have been married for 33yrs, but I am reminded about it at regular intervals, especially at this time of the year. 1 1
Greedy Posted December 7, 2023 Posted December 7, 2023 I once as a joke bought my wife sanitary towels as a present she never saw the funny side of it . And for my sons some Tena-men pants for their 30th birthday which I gave them to unwrap at the restaurant infront of friends and family.. Some people do not appreciate the thought that goes into presents like this.. 2
