The worst was a self-help book gifted from someone who had NO experience in the subject area. :rolleyes:
Thanks,

In December of 1985, my boyfriend brought me an adorable white bear. It was two weeks before Christmas! I had been dating him for 3 years.
The bear was adorable. He finally had to tell me to look closer at the red ribbon around the bear’s neck. On the back of the ribbon hung my engagement ring from him! That is the best gift I have ever received. We were married the following May and celebrated 22 years of marriage! Thanks, Cindi

Except I don’t wear make-up (why wreck what natural beauty I have?). I send a letter each year thanking them kindly for the gift, but that I have no use for it. Its been 5 years now XD
I keep hoping each year I’ll get the book certificate instead, but sadly…well there is always this year right?

I guess I was so stressed at the time that it took one of my classmates to point out what my husband was doing: he was bringing me a small Christmas present after each of my exams! He bought a nice ink pen in my favorite color, he gave me a relaxing poster of a tropical island sunset, he gave me a book, and so forth. In a way, it was a sort of Advent presents for my exams…counting down to Christmas and the end of a tough semester!

Wow, that was a long time ago and I still remember!

My best Christmas presents have probably all been books. I suppose particular favorites that stand out have been the first three DARWIN AWARDS books.

I honestly don’t know why I didn’t break up with him right then and there. He bought me a sweat suit and leather bumpers for my water bed. Not a track suit, but just the Hanes kind that are $20 total. I was waiting for a ring, that didn’t happen and now I’m grateful.

I also had my ex-husband get me an epilady one year. Do you remember those? The hair removal system that RIPPED the hair out of your legs!

Luckily my presents have gotten better.

Happy Holidays.
