What's the best/worst gift you've gotten? - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

teri88 · 12-28-2005, 07:58 AM

Can you stand a long post? The best gift was my son, Kevin, who was born 3 weeks before Christmas 15 years ago. (Yes, Megan, you are a presious gift too!) Kevin was my first and we went through so much to have him. Nothing beats that gift!
As for worst, the very next year we bought our house in December and we were so broke! We decided to set a limit on each other of $25, just to have a little something to open Christmas morning. well, I shopped so carefully and managed to get my husband a coat that was on sale and then half off, etc. so it was only $25. He got me 2 presents. I opened the first one and it was a fake pointsetta plant. I was like "you got me a pointsetta?" Oh well, what is in the second package....a second pointsetta. It was then I realized, JC Penny's had them 2 for $25, right in side the door. He walked in, saw them, thought "cool, I'm done" and that was it.
We had years of laughs each Christmas when I would put them out and make a big deal about my beautiful plastic pointsettas. I think he finally threw them away when I wasn't paying attention. And, yes, he's gotten MUCH better at gift giving....this year I got diamond earrings!

He said " NO" But he had a HAIRY SHIRT on under it,, She was totally embarrsed and totally grossed out at the same time.. needless to say he didn't get to spend the night! LOL

I went out on a date with this guy who had a HAIR VEST

, it was coming through the top of the shirt...And I finally knew what hair like WOOL Meant!

It's the six degrees of seperation. But you've got to admit the hairy issue relates directly to the hair trimmers mentioned in the first post

Oh I know.. this thread is the funniest thing I've read in ages.

I have come to the conclusion that my mother has lost her last marbles since we have moved away. Its been 3 years.

Christmas 1. Robes for me and my husband
Christmas 2. Robes for me and my husband, and back massaging pads, one each, the kind you can even plug into your car!

This year she called me... Asking what we wanted for christmas... I said... NO ROBES! and explained how she had repeted this gift the last two years... she laughed at herself and pledged to do better!

Christmas 3. Back massaging pads, one each, the kind you can even put in your car!

I almost peed my pants when I opened it and my Mom almost peed in hers when I called and told her! Now I can line the sofa and loveseat with back massaging pads! Now I need more plugs!

Ok... want a hair story? I was 10 and mom married this guy... Tom. He was the hairest man on the planet! and it was so dark brown it was almost black and as curly as can be! We had two bathrooms and me and my sister would fight over ours... well, I gave up one day, when I was like 13, I ventured into my moms bathroom, which was a no no as she did not trust us around her make up... I was going to use the shower and opened the sliding shower door and stopped dead in my tracks! I saw little curley black hairs everywhere! it was on the floor, clinging to the door! and even on the soap! I all but screamed and ran out of there... I was convinced it was butt hair! Butt hair on the soap! Ugh! I had nightmares about it for years!

Best present.... A granite rock from my husband with the word Certainty etched in it! It was just what I needed!

I love those back massagers. I got my grandma one for christmas cause she was having back pain and my grandpa kept sitting in her chair. So the next year I got him one. Cute story. This year at Christmas my 2 yr old cousin was sitting in the chair with massager and I turned it on. It took him all of 2 seconds to figure out how the controls work and he began to play. About 2 minutes later he jumps up turns around and yells at the massager "BURN" he accidently turned on the heat and it scared him when it got hot. It was pretty cute.

I think this needs to be marked with an R-rated so some poor child doesn't accidently look at it it could scar them for life.
I think it scarred me for life. Geeezzzz

Hey I think you got my ex husband in that pic!

The only bald spot on him is on his head because he shaves it....(his fear of receding hair line)
When we were like 19 he past out and we shaved WOLFMAN on his back.....

Kathryn I can relate to the butt hair on the soap issue!!!!! GROSS!

Kathryn_V · 12-28-2005, 08:00 PM

OMG! Thats him! Its all coming back to me! I will have to sleep with the light on now!

Ugh!!!! It was awefull! I always knew he was hairy, and his back hairs would clog up the pool filters, but I never really got to see his butt! Thanks for taking care of that! I may never get that image out of my head!

lol
