Re: Question of the day 1/10/07
I would not call him significant other, I would call him "dude my best friend told I would date him". We went on 3 or so dates prior to Valentine's day '98 and he decided to get me 2 dozen red roses. It sounds lovely, right?
I am deathly allergic to roses and broke out into hives, my throat closed...the whole deal. I ended up spending my Valentine's night at Ohio State University Hospital with a doctor named (I swear, I am not making this up) Dr. Jacmiov. Yes say it out loud and you will get it. My valentine's date? My best friend and roommate at the time.

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07
Prior to DH, I don't think I ever received a gift from my SOs.  (if I did, it apparently wasn't worth remembering.  ) Now that I think about it, I know I exchanged gifts with a couple of them, but for some strange reason, I can't recall what I received. Like I said, not worth remembering.
My DH hasn't disappointed me yet!  He always manages to find wonderful ways to surprise me too.

A cookbook, a ton of extremely complicated & slutty Victoria Secret outfits & knock-me down *@(@ shoes. The card said something sexual about "cooking".
While some people would appreciate the gift, it was not me. It was sooo not me & he knew it wasnt me because it was a running argument we used to have - how I was not domestic & didn't dress up enough for him.
NOT DOMESTIC?!
What are you... A CAT???!!
What a jerk!

When I was dating my boyfriend in high school..he decided to buy me something just to be nice...well he bought me that Vanilla Fields perfume they used to sell in the drug stores..well I absolutely hate the smell of vanilla ..lol i used to spray it out my bedroom window so he thought I was using it
LOL LMAO!!!
Btw- I love reading through this thread- OMG!!!
The fifty bucks for the comptuer was AMAZING and now this...
$7.99 Vanilla Fields?! DH dated some girl in College and one day was telling me about how she never wore make up, never did her hair, etc... So I was like wow, did she ever wear perfume or anything? And THAT was his answer to what was her fave perfume!!! I literally almost fell on the floor laughing!!!!

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07
OK, my turn:
I dated a guy in HS who was cheapy- cheap but had more money than he knew what to do with! His parents gave him a regular allowance of money- they were very wealthy, he drove a new car for free, got lunch and gas money and living money daily, etc. Plus, he worked part-time so he had extra money of his own.... He told me he really liked the "Tiffany" style bracelet... With the heart tag (this was just getting big when I was in HS) So I said that I liked that too..
Well, he must have bought me a look-alike out of a 25 cent machine b/c it broke the following week. Also, he got me a "movado"... a "fovado" it was so fake and cheap- the signature "dot" at the top? It FELL OFF like three days after I had it...
Then, why did I stay with this guy?!!, he told me he got me a necklace with my birthstone- I was like wow b/c my birthstone is a diamond (April) well-- it was like the substitute for a diamond- some cheap, cheesy, white "stone" Just on the end of a necklace...
No thought went into any of these gifts- they were awful. THEN, this is the cake topper- he bought me a tiny, gold "fuzzy" jewelry box from MARSHALLS (it still had the tag on the bottom)... It was hideous and if he took a second to think about who I am and my personality- he would know that I needed another Jewelry box like I needed a hole in the head.
His idea of taking me out to a once a year FANCY meal was Outback
Yeah- I finally wised up. Thankfully, the guy I dated after him bought me such GREAT gifts that it made up for it!! I mean, thoughtful, beautiful gifts- it did not work out for us in the long-run but I got about 4 or 5 GORGEOUS Coach bags, jewelry, a REAL movado, a REAL tiffany's bracelet-- etc etc! It was great!
OOOH! My sister got a sleeping bag and jumper cables once!!

Hmm, that would be a toss up between a Yanni Live at the Acroplis video, or some sort of environmentalist tee--shirt.
Same guy--we were only in HS, though.

I had one boyfriend who bought me earrings that a baby would wear. I was happy to get a present but upset that he did not put any thought into the gift. I later found out that he sent his little brother to buy the gift.
That happened to my best friend too. (from an ex) We take them out every now & then for a laugh. I think her 18 mo. old daughter wears them now.

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07
Great replies...I am loving the Yanni and dolphins
I have to add a misguided gift for DH...and I say misguided because he tries so hard because he knows how I try to be thoughtful with every gift.
This Christmas I got a:
Shiatsu massage chair cover (you know, for the office when you are stressed ) and a WHITE velour sweatsuit with a tapered ankle because he knows I need to relax more!
I returned it for 250 bucks worth of Victoria's Secret

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07
a Carton of cigarettes. It was apparently a break-up gift b/c that is exactly what I did.
(They were not even the brand I smoked at the time, it was the brand he smoked, so they must have been lying around his house somewhere )

Who buys jeans for Secret Santa

What was the WORST present you ever got from a significant other?
And details--
This guy I was dating when I was in college bought me an aersol knock off perfume for Christmas.
I don't even remember the name but it said on the spray bottle "If you like Obsession...you'll love -----" must have cost $5 or less. It didn't smell bad, but I was a little angry since I bought him an autographed poster of his favorite band.

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07
a vermeil fake diamond heart pendant- and he tried to tell me it was an estate piece and it was real. Mind you I am not materialistic, and he had a lot of $$ and a full time job. That was part of his lying he did to me, and this was my ex fiancee!
