Well, at least she couldn’t say it was pointless.
A friend recently gave me a $20 gift card to a movie theater that’s closest location is an hour away from me, seems obvious it’s a regift because he had no use for it either since we live in the same area, but why would he think I’d find it useful instead?
Maybe he was broke.
Or maybe he didn’t wanna waste it. Just carry on the tradition. Regift it back to him for Christmas.
Or, on a different note, “I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas”:
I look at nightgowns for my wife
Those black ones trimmed in red
But I won’t know her size and so
She’ll get a carpet sweeper instead
My parents did this with another couple with a Christmas card. The same card went back and forth between the two households every Christmas from the mid 1950s into the 1970s, with a note written each year (such as “one of these days someone needs to buy a new card! Merry Christmas!”).
mmm
Hey, watch it 
. My wife has a toasted beagle every morning. Our toaster worked, but was kinda crappy. For Christmas (?) I bought her the best toaster I could find. It’s still going strong.
My wife was on the equestrian team in college. She still sometimes rides. Or did at the time. I bought her riding boots (not cowboy boots). Not crazy knee high ones. Would be good basic all around ‘round the town’ boots. Have never seen her wear them. But, they would be safer than hiking shoes in the stirrups.
Bought her expensive earrings with her birth stone in them. In hindsight I guess they weren’t that attractive. Never seen her wear them. And like the boots, they seem to be gone with the wind.
I gave my Wife a computerized trainer for her bike. She was in training for an IronMan. She loved it.
Winner! Typo of the day 
It’s really hard to find a toaster big enough, so it was a nice gift. 
Not so much a gift, but a Birthday card my wife got from one of her best friends -
“If we ever get old and forgetful, we will met again and become best friends again”
She sent the same card the next year.
Either very clever, or prescient.
One year, my dad gave my mom a hundred-pound bag of flour. And not even all-purpose flour: Cake flour, so she had to do research on how to adapt regular recipes to use it.
This was after the divorce, so not the reason for it, but it’s not like that was his first instance of utter cluelessness.
That’s the reason my wife and I did not buy an RV. We did seriously consider it though.
If we have to make beds and clean bathrooms, no deal.
Great way to put it. My wife and I have clocked many, many thousands of miles. I think the longest single trip was 17 states. Each hotel is a different experience. That’s part of the whole trip. I know plenty of people love the RV experience. It’s not for us though.
Before considering an RV, couples should watch “The Long, Long Trailer” with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
~VOW
But not pointless.
I feel his pain. Mine is jewelry and Swarovski. My Little Round Man has lived through it but not without sacrifice.
I’m pretty cool with gifts. Now we just buy what we want when we want it. I have had years when I got new pots and pans, new sheet sets, a floor scrubber for the garage floor (game changer) and I loved everyone of them.
It definitely is an acquired taste. We love it because we travel with our doggos (aka The Felons) and I like being able to be “home” wherever we go.
That’s a good reason. I like ‘The Felons’. We set our criminals up at a VERY nice kennel. Got to if you travel overseas. Which are gonna be our up coming trips.
Seriously, guys, how hard is it to look at the labels inside her clothes to find out what size she wears?
Putting aside the whole issue of how crazy and inconsistent sizing is for women’s clothing.
500 lizards? Girls like swarms of things, right?
