Presents from your man

What is the cheesiest present you have ever gotten from your man? What is the best present you've gotten from him?

My hubby bought me a friggin' car buffer kit for Christmas one year-with wax and chamois cloths, rain-x, car wash, and tire cleaner. I didn't speak to him for two weeks after that!!!

The next year he bought me a pair of diamond studs-that was my favorite!!! i think he learned his lesson....

WOW! I will come off sounding horrible here, but I preach honesty so here goes:

I wanted a new sweeper so bad for Christmas one year (long time ago). I like it when my house looks nice and a sweeper is a must have!! Mine was just a cheapy and it finally sucked it's last piece of dirt. Christmas morning I was so ready to open a sweeper, but I didn't see a box that I thought large enough. So anyway to cut this story short, I received a diamond necklace with matching stud earrings. I was soooooo disappointed. We don't go anywhere fancy for me to wear diamonds....I NEEDED A SWEEPER. So a few days later I asked him if he minded if I returned them and bought a new sweeper. He was trying to do the right thing, he didn't think I would want something to clean the house. I told him "granted, I wouldn't want a box of dust cloths," but I really wanted a sweeper. Anyway I did get the sweeper.

My best received gift from him was my very own tool box. Every year I get a new tool, (if I say which one I'm wanting) for Christmas. No more running out to the garage for this or that....if it's not in my tool box....I don't need it. After a few years I did ask for a bigger tool box and got it. Best gift ever!!!

Boy, my posts sometimes just seem to go on and on don't they.....Sorry!

All my presents have been good from hubby. I really have no complaints in that department.

The best present I can recall ( i have such a horrible memory ) was a diamond tennis bracelet w/ a black dress that he picked out all by himself. Oh and the dress fit perfect too. He topped it off with tickets to a play here in town.

Other great presents were a new truck, a new car, reservations for weekends away, jammies that are pretty, and kitchen gadgets. ( I can NEVER get enough kitchen gadgets )

The most special gifts are his cards. I swear, that man takes FOREVER to pick out a card but when you receive it in hand and read the words, your heart just melts. He puts his heart and soul into cards.

Up till a few years ago, he used to "forget" mothers day, so come sunday morning, i used to hear him speed off to the gas station to buy a plant plants and flowers you buy at the gas stations here, just show less quality, you can see it's not a florest piece of art, the plants he used to give looked hidious, but i always just thanked him with a smile LOL

For Xmas he makes me go with him to pick out what i want, most times it's Swarovski, and he knows. but most of the time it's a different theme for the year and he wants to make sure i like it LOL

OMG my hubby bought me one of those fake roses from 7-11 for mothers day i was like why even bother lol he did surprize me with a ring one year for christmas

My first birthday as his wife and he got me a 20 gauge shotgun. It was a lovely gift. He even taught me how to use it. So if he makes me mad I know how to use it. LOL
Other than that the best present he has given me are bird feeders. I could sit and watch the birds fly in and out around the feeders all day. It really relaxes me.

The only thing that really stands out for the best is good old cold hard cash($2000) it was supposed to be for a boob job, but I didn't go through w/ it ( come to think of it that was a gift that was really for him ) That was the last time it was that good. The worst was a banana hanger, yes, a freekin banana hanger!!
