My ex husband used to buy me things that he wanted the most stand out being a fishing rod, a darts board, a Sky Sports subscription. I don't fish play darts or watch sports but funnily enough he did

First Christmas with a girlfriend I told her numerous times that I don't wear a watch cause it'll get broken on site and I dont like anything on my wrist

Same conversation for 3 months

Got a watch off her for Christmas because she thought I was joking

The kids got me a DVD boxset of my favourite animal as well as adopting one for me a few years ago

We don't have a DVD player which I explained at the time but they weren't listening because they got me another DVD boxset last Christmas

The fishing rod cracks me up

Between playing darts and watching sport where would you find time for your fishing

Oh I forgot the fishing waders as well which funnily enough were his size. His gift buying skills were terrible he once bought me tumble dryer as push present for having our baby. Even the delivery driver was like you might want to reconsider that

Thats a new level of selfishness which actually takes balls to do.

Giving a pregnant lady a gift like that is ballsey

Jesus daydreamer you just reminded me, an ex got me a gym membership for the gym near her work so I'd give her a lift home every day. I was already a member of a gym 5 mins walk from the place we rented, we broke up a few months later.

. Did it taste off?

An ex had an aunt who used to have a jar of hazelnuts on offer for visitors - they were the remnants of the purple wrapped Roses hazelnut swirl she'd suck the chocolate off

I honestly can't remember a gift that was so bad it was memorable for being bad

Decades ago, a guy I knew decades ago who came from a notoriously tight-fisted family who had an affluent public image, gave me a book on monsters that he had picked up very cheap, I think for about 10p.

I have no interest in this genre and I have always detested horror films; he would have been aware of this, but it was probably the cheapest item he could find. I threw it into the domestic coal fire!
