Birthday > Gifts gone wrong...
Pizza stone
I used it a couple times. It's SO heavy and not to mention very hard to clean. It stains EVERY time I use it, and it over cooks my pizza!! But I didn't want my friend to feel bad because she thought it was the perfect gift! Boy was she wrong.
Book
It had some adult content and my parents saw it. I was only 11 at the time and it was so embarrassing!
The same bag I saved up for months and got myself before I received the same one as a gift!
Some people might not think its a bad or an unpleasant gift but I felt disappointed to be honest... There was this bag I saved up for like four months to get myself on my birthday, and eventually bought it happily. And lo and behold I got the same bag from my best friend on my birthday.
Deodorant
I am not so keen on deodorants and my friend knew this, but still went ahead and bought it for me. The worst thing was, I am very hygenic, and keep myself clean, but the deodorant made me feel as if I was emanating bad odour.
Pair of slippers
My husband got me a pair of bathroom slippers on my birthday. I was expecting some piece of jewelry and he gave me slippers. Although the slippers were costly but I didn't like them as my birthday gift.
Vacuum cleaner
Think about it -- a vacuum cleaner for a birthday present? That is why I am no longer married to that man.
Computer mouse
It seemed like the most unromantic, impersonal, cheap gift for a man to give his wife on her birthday. I was a professional person with a laptop from my job, and had mentioned that it would be good to have a mouse for it, but not as my only birthday gift from my (now ex-) husband!
Toy pistol
I'm a girl and I really wanted a lovely doll, not a gun. My parents should have known this.
Chocolates
My husband gave me a box of chocolates on my 25th birthday. I didn't like the gift because it was not something that I could keep for years. We ate the chocolates and the gift was finished. It was not something I could wear and show it to others.
