How about a horse turd fork and a wheelbarrow. Of course, I cleaned all the pens and the arena--I would have liked a dinner out or a nice new plant but no, a turd fork. One year for Christmas his parents bought him a spendy table saw a box full of sweaters and undies and socks--me 2 bic lighters, the little ones--oh he smoked also. There other favorite for me was long flannel night gowns.

I like collecting ceramic headed dolls.
Everytime I went to England I always found one I like, so I bought it, and put it in my own special plc.
My husband never really care abt those things, he's attitude was always "that's what she likes, so what?" He never pay attention to those details, which I didn't expected it anyway.
(Note : I have no daughter only sons, so nobody to share and talk with abt it).
One day for business trip he went to England.
As usual I gave lists I wanted, but as he had spare times he asked incase I wanted something else.
Sure I said,:" a doll, a ceramic doll." "What doll he asked?" "Well , a girlish doll".
When he came back, first thing he said , "this is your doll, it's the only one I could find, and it drives me crazy!" ; ""why".
"Just have a look, I didn't dare to put it in the suitcase".
It's in a box, but too small compare to my other dolls.
When I try to open it, he warned me "be carefull", he sound really mean it.
So carefully I opened it(in the car).
"Ough Sh!*t, this is not what I want!??"
"What do you mean that's not what you want?". ..................
Well, what he bought was Royal Doulton's figure," the Dancer" , it's very expensive and sooo delicate because it's little dancing shoes sticking delicately under it's dress.
So it cant sit next to the other dolls, it has to stand near the other Royal Doulton's other figures in the glass cabinet. I cant play with it either. (making it's clothes and combing it's hair and change their ribbons).
When I show the other dolls I have, he just simply said, "I dont know you have that!?". ( Ouu well!)
(I must admit that he was involved in buying the Royal Doulton's figures,which he liked it as well, so that's all he knew- because I bought my dolls alone w/o him).
He's dead now. Hope he has a peacefull life where he is now. He's very kind hearted to me, he tried hard to please me, although at the same time he wanted me to go through his life style which is completely "not me". I missed him so much.

For my birthday my husband gave me a gift card to Starbucks, this is back in the day where there weren't that many around. Not to mention, I'm not a big coffee drinker and, being in the country, the nearest Starbucks was over 500 miles away. I thought it was strange and just put it in the desk drawer. The next morning he gave me an envelope and said it went with the Starbucks gift card. Inside were round trip tickets to Seattle to see our oldest son.

Despite my totally fictional descriptions of Mr. Eyedontnose - he is actually a lovely lovely man - (don't say - He would have to be!!) BUT ............ where gifts are concerned he really has no idea whatsoever.
Some the gifts received so far for birthdays and anniversaries have been : a pressure cooker, a pair of leather gloves that would not have fit Barbie and certainly did not fit this lady of the land! and a season ticket to watch Manchester United!
Men! Can't live with them, can't live with 'em!

I can beat the vacuum cleaner gift. I recieved a window washer squeegy and tupperware bowls. He never made that mistake again because I couldn't hide my disappointment.
He comes from a family of very practical people.

My current husband comes from a very ungiving family,never learned to give gifts at all.The first couple of birthdays that rolled around,he always gave me a scarf.I was pleased of course that he had managed to pick out a gift,all by himself! every year,another scarf.I finally ask him no more scarves.That birthday,I get this tiny package with a pair of knickers in it,so small I can't imagine getting my foot in it,let alone my bum! I asked him,if he really thought I could fit in them....still waiting for a reply!

I'm a NASCAR fan and several years ago my husband came home carrying a life-size cardboard copy of my favorite driver. The drivers retired and the cut out long gone, but the smile I get every time I think of it is still there.

My ex once gave me roses and a new riding mower. It was in the driveway with a big pink bow on it. Sounds bad, but I've always loved working in the yard.
