Your strangest gift from your hubby?

[WiseOldSage]

Last night my husband and I went out for dinner and he told me he had got me something from work - imagine my surprise when it was a tie pin with an SA80 rifle on it (how romantic and what to wear it with)?????

My ex once gave me a surprise present - really well wrapped up and everything - bicycle lights!!!!

[sn�gs]

How ungrateful you are... a tie pin with an SA80 rifle on it is... well... just.... errr... ok, its a sh1t gift...

[Bbbananas]

[mccfluff]

WiseOldSage... next time you go out for a meal you might be lucky enough to get the matching ''SA80 polished cartridge brooch''.

Classy eh...

[funnygirl]

[craft1948]

Last year I got a text msg from my fiance to say he'd got me a little something and not to get too excited, it's only a little thing.

He came home with a jar of bolognaise sauce that he'd been given as a part of a promotion in town, whilst on his lunch break.

F*&#%$ grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

[funnygirl]

Lol craft!!!

Shoulda strangled him with it.

[WiseOldSage]

Forgot the terminology but it was either that or one with a little tank thing on - apparently I had a choice (hmmmm decisions?).

Usually my pressies end up being the teabags/coffee/shampoo from hotels he stays in when he is away on business LOL

I was speechless - purely because I curb the urge to laugh!

Hi WiseOldSage :)

mr Lux called me the other day to say he'd bought me a surprise gift and he was really sounding very happy and would see me later....

so... I started wandering what it was he was bringing me home... a small bottle of perfume?? a little fridge magnate (I love them!!!) a bottle of drinkies???

6.30 and the front door opens.... rustle of bag and something thrown on my lap....



PHEWEWEY!!!!!!! I threw the bag away.... then peered inside to see......

3 Spanish White Onions!!!!!!

hmmmmmmm lol not impressed.

[tamborine]

whatever did he buy you when you were courting.....a vesta box of matches?

You aint too wise, old sage ;)

[Ice.Maiden]

I'd buy him a bottle of hair restorer and tell him that if he doesn't need it now - he soon might. See if he likes that! : )

[jadeymodel]

hahaha I agree Ice.Maiden Or buy him a pan set and tell him he's on kitchen duty! xx

[tamborine]

My darling OH (now dec'd) bought me garnet rings - birthstone - for birthday/anniversary/christmas/holidays etc till I had about 200. One Xmas I adorned myself with them, off ears/fingers/toes/neck & headband. We went to his masonic dinner & his friends wanted to know if he'd started a scrap yard.

I got money after that - much happier ;)

[Ice.Maiden]

What a glorious note to end on tamborine! Made me laugh - and the rest of you. This computer's running horribly slowly, so I'm off to bed now - for 3 hour's sleep!
Night to you all. xxx
