Uh let's see, it would have to be telling me it was going to be "something of his mother's" and then a day or two before it was "something his mom had in the trunk of her car that she didn't want" and that actually wasn't the bad part.
In front of his family watching, so I couldn't just say "What is WRONG with you?" he gives me a plastic bag (doesn't even bother wrapping it) just a...plastic....bag with four plastic Lord of the Rings BURGER KING GLASSES.
This from the man who wrote me poetry, sent me flowers, took me to these fine restaurants and ordered honest to God Dom P to drink.
I told him later that while I appreciated the thought and hey....that really IS all that counts, if I knew he was going to bankrupt himself trying to "court" me I would have told him to stop already.
He gave me this incredulous look as if to say what are you talking about? It was then that I knew I was dealing with a cross between a metrosexual and a redneck. He had absolutely no idea that for a major gift giving occasion/holiday one did not gift their significant other with plastic cups from a fast food joint.
But you know what? Almost four years later I've still got them and wouldn't trade them for the world! They may me laugh because they remind me of him...the guy who loves me and while he may be somewhat clueless...."means well".

Worst gift because of where he got it, but I still use the thing- a wooden lap desk with a broken lock dangling from it ( key included) that my ex-husband ( notice "ex" ) pulled out of a dumpster, gave a coat of varnish to, wrapped, and placed under the tree.
Most unusual gift, same box. After our divorce, I was going to throw the thing out because of the broken lock. I decided to try to repair the dangling lock before I tossed the box; but before the repair, I cleaned the lock with brass cleaner. To my suprise, under all the tarnish, I uncovered an original Yale lock with a date of 1867; I have a piece that probably dates back to the Civil War.

My S/o has always been good to me. But my Dad once got my Mom a garage door opener for Christmas. Needless to say she was not too pleased. LOL
As for strangest ... i got a bike one year from my grandpa for my birthday that was used - which is ok - but it had no seat, the brakes were bad and the handlebars were bent - and to top it all off he wanted my good bike in exchange. It was all around strange.

He actually got me an iron and ironing board! To iron HIS clothes! Yeah, he learned on that one! Never got anything like that again....(And I got him lots of clothes that year!)......The only funny or strange thing I have ever gotten came from my niece....She really wanted to get me something but had no money...she was about 6 at the time...and when I opened it, it really didn't know what it was. But it turned out to be 1 earring. She got ahold of an old doorstop and put it on a hook ring for the earring.....And I wore it proudly all day long!

my husband gave me earings that his mom didnt want. So he gave them to me. I don't wear clip-ons, but I smiled and said "oh I love them, thanks!"
