This is about the most useless and suckiest gift you've ever gotton from a boyfriend or girlfriend. I'm never going to forget when I was going back to school for the week one day I was sitting next to my girlfriend at the time when I was 17 and I asked her when would you like to exchange presents and she dug in her bag and gave me a 15 cent christmas tree brownie and told me that was my gift. So I would like to get you guys lamest gifts from your partners or past partners.
Hmm, my ex bf sent me a picture of himself. Nice thought, and not exactly lame, but, pretty pointless lol.
Well this didn't happen to me, it happened to one of my best friends. She thought for sure that her boyfriend was going to propose to her on christmas. She psyched herself up, that even when she saw the big box, she thought he had put boxes inside boxes, you know, small to large, to hide the ring. So, after a couple of weeks of excitement, she opened it up and, it was an electric blanket! hahahahahahahah
Awww. Personally I think this topic is kind of mean. But I guess that's just me. I mean I have gotten pretty lame gifts in my time but I still believe it's always the thought that counts. I would have loved a picture of him if he ever thought to give me one and maybe she was broke, hence the browny. And as for the electric blanket, I think the girl set herself up for the disappointment. I can understand if my man gave me an electric blanket and would think it really sweet. He wants to make sure I'm warm especially if he can't hold me himself... It was Christmas then. lol But I know how stressful it is to go out and try to buy the perfect present. So I guess I'm one of those people who fall in to the category of giving the lamest gifts. lol For Christmas, I got my man a new braille watch, a cane, boxers and a multi-tool swiss army thing. And for his b/day, which was a couple of weeks ago, I got him a joystick for his computer games, a chess board, and 2 sets of braille cards. lol I don't know if he thought they were lame but it would kind of hurt if he did because I put a lot of thought and care into shopping for him.

Agreed, Michelle.
I agree, but, as I said, I don't class his gift of a picture of himself lame, I actually thought it kind of cute and sweet... I just thought, at the time, that it was a little weird. But hey, it is cool, as you say, it is the thought that counts.
One of my friends in college received a box of klenex and a frying pan from the guy she was dating. He apparently wanted her to cook for him more often (never mind the fact that she lived in a dorm at the time) and he was always upset when she would start crying at movies and stuff and needed to borrow his hankerchief. Those gifts were enough to end the relationship and yes, no matter what any of you will say, in my opinion very lame gifts!You don't give someone a box of klenex for Christmas? And if you do, what does that say about your attitude towards the relationship.
Lol Kleenex!
I think the electric blanket is a nice gift! I'd be happy to receive one. Anything that makes life more comfy is good.
I can't think of a particular lame gift, but I hate getting cards from family members who ought to know better. Nice thought I guess, and I'd never say a word to them about it, but I can't read a card! And I don't live with anyone who could read a card to me. So gifts that require sight to fully enjoy feel like a slap in the face, and I do get my feelings hurt over something like that. Shows the gift giver of such a thing was not really thinking of me. I'd feel better getting nothing.
Hallmark does have those cards that play music when opened. those make nice gifts, if they match the right occasion. *smile8
Oh Lord those cards are dreadful! You can usually tell which ones they are in the shop as they're quite bulky so I just put them back on the shelf without opening them. If I did, I'd want to stomp them into the ground then burn them. But I just put them back as it's safer all round hee hee.
As for the worst gift? I'm like Christina in that I don't really receive 'bad' gifts just ones where no thought had gone in: CDs that aren't my taste, random clothing, things like that. Small things make the biggest difference though.
Wel I once gave a gift that backfired. She wanted a dog, and being the sweet man I thought I was I decided that I would get her a dog right? Well, I went to the toy department at wal mart and found one of those little dogs that are battery operated and move when you pet them, bark, and the like. Well here comes christmas and the anticipation and... If we had a dog house I reccon I'd still be in there. Here's to being thoughtful.
*laughs* Nem! That is hillarious! Did you really do that or are you joking? hehehehehe Wow... I think that is really sweet. But maybe as a funny "I was thinking of you when I bought this." kind of. haha But not as a main gift. lol Nem!
awww i think what nem did was cute.
well some posts i agree with, basically what happened to "its the thought that counts"?and the money is a factor too sometimes. if you really love eac other ..well i think most people can finish that sentence for themsel :)
oh yeah, this comes from someone that has never had anyone ever before, just fake crap online so i maybe clueless
Fuck off peepy, it was not the least bit cute. he had me thinking it was a real dog all along. i was like should i go buy food or what? he's like no it comes with it . i'm like wow. hehehehe, ass!
lol lol lol shea! lol
ok it's the thought that counts, i totally agree, but what is exactly your thought while you're buying toilet paper for your girlfriend for christmas? lol not me, happened to my sister years ago.
she was out???or um..ok probably not; i also meant, use common sense too if that is made anymore?
Ok, some of you are right. there is some pretty dumb gifts out there, I mean, anyone that is smart enough to no what dating is should no better than to get their girlfriend toilet paper for christmas, but if your partner doesn't have much money, than maybe a browney or a picture is the best they could do, you no? Lets not be completely ungreatful, it is the thought that counts when it is a gift that is actually ment to be sweet and not rude.
Ok I left a couple things out of my first post. Well my gf at the time actually didn't get me anything originally the brownie was for her. See what happened was she had went and got all of her friends really good gifts but she didn't bother to get me anything originally so that's why I complained about the brownie.
*raaj sings, I've never get any gift so far....
I would have to say all the things I have gotten from partners were very thoughtfull.. There is the acception of the one thing that is like a horable story, but I'm too nice to publicly imbarrice the person so if youw ant to know ask me about it off the board, it will make you smile I'm sure. Got to love lyers.
A tin man made out of all his empty Budlight cans and put together with elmers glue. lol, I still have it though. It didn't piss me off or anything, just made me go "Oh wow."
Some dude that I kinda liked way back in high school sent me a 6-page letter of all the stuff he wanted to do to me and a pinwheel and some hard candy. Lol.
I'd love an electric blanket! Many times as our landlord has brought over the plumber and even switched us from oil to gas heat, we still have problems with the heat in winter & are probably going to look for another apartment.
This is cruel, but here is my list of lame gifts, and it isn't Christmas or even birthday, but wedding & for my then newborn daughter:
A deep fat fryer as a wedding gift. I have never cooked or wanted to learn to cook with one, but the husband loves it. What makes it lame is the sender didn't even have the courtesy to write a card in a language I could understand, English or French...trust me these folks speak both they just don't want to be bothered with me...but in Arabic, making it obvious it was only for Mr. Sponge.
Pierced earrings for my daughter. Does no one, when they permanently settle somewhere else, have the curiosity to ask, "Hey what's an acceptable gift for a newborn here?" Instead they ASSume I won't mind their standard gift, which is pierced earrings. I didn't settle there they settled here, I personally prefer to wait until a girl is old enough to ask for earrings, making her responsible for the care and changing of the earrings when 4-6 weeks pass. Also some individuals develop metal allergies or form a type of scar tissue called 'keloids', where the earrings must be removed, so it may be a complete waste of money.
One gift that wasn't lame but didn't work was an electric bottle warmer. When formula leaked it smelled as if I had a wet dog in my kitchen, so it had to go.
lol, that's funny. Deep frier. I'd like that actually. :)
My stepmother's family also does that sort of thing to my father, leaving him out of everything, making him do everything for them even though he's in so much pain he had to have a pump full of pain meds installed and that keeps him just below a level where he'd need to be hospitalized. Yet these people don't care at all, and neither does his wife. He's a submissive who thinks people are being nice when they are actually being cruel, but I digress.
My first bf gave me a silly string and bead bracelet. He didn't even think about it.
People may think this is odd, but my second bf sent me a corded phone and all three Lord of the Rings soundtracks. people thought it was odd, but I was looking for a good phone to post music through before I could upload files to My Telespace, so he was thinking of me. and he knows how much I love movie scores. lol
Sorry to hear about your father, Feathery. Next time you have contact with your stepmother & her family, feel free to give 'em the one finger salute for me, too. Believe me, if I ever leave this cesspool I am going to give some of these folks the middle finger, or their version of it, which is to show 'em the sole of my foot.
lol sponge, agreed. people are shitty.
It is the thought that counts, but knowing that your alergic to a fake jelry then goes and gets it for you...? fucking lame...
And the thoughtlessness of people giving you something in a language you can't read, when they knew well enough to put it in a language you both could read? If it is the thought that counts, judge the thought in this case. Two and two make four, but that means you take two away from four you get two.
Lamest gift ever. The person never gave me anything for Christmas, our aniversary or my birthday. Not even a greeting card or a letter. The worst part is yet to come, he can't even remember our aniversary. I don't know what I was thinking when I went out with this person. I must have been really clueless at that time. Laugh out loud.
once i got trail mix. for christmas. andonce i got a pome from a ex too. for my birthday. and some copyed music. i still have smile.
hmm, the most lame gift? It was a frying pan, he said, "Now you can make chicken the way my mon does!"
I would have chased him out of the kitchen with it. lol damn
Me too iyana. lol
lol, I am supprized he lived through the whole ordeal!
Normally I'd agree with it being the thought that counts, but this was lame even if it sort of made me laugh in a weird way. I let this guy borrow a movie from me and I'd been waiting to get it back and on Christmas he wrapped the movie and gave it to me like he bought it or something. And it wasn't rewound. LOL
