So after I posted my shameless Christmas list last week, I’ve been after Sunny to do the same. But she won’t give in. Don’t ask me why. I told her if she doesn’t let me know what she wants, she runs the risk of getting a pretty crummy gift from me. And trust me, I have the track record to back that up. If you don’t believe me, read this.
So that got me thinking: what would be the worst gift to give your wife for Christmas? I think those homemade “coupons” for things like “1 free back rub” or “1 load of laundry” would be pretty bad. So would Tupperware. Actually, any kitchen item would be pretty demeaning. My friend John from Tennessee had three pretty good ideas: a copy of Cooking for Dummies, a mop and a gift certificate to Weight Watchers. That cracks me up. Any others? What’s the worst gift I could get her. This could be fun…
already & not yet 
Tickets to watch a BCS bowl game:)
Direct TV with DVR!!!
Any sort of intimacy book, you know, like “Making Your Husband Happy”.Also, any item of clothing that is the wrong size, in the wrong direction. Never get your wife an item of clothing that is too big.
An I heart Dixie Chicks shirt with a circle around it and a slash through the middle.
Any kind of proofs of purchase cereal box items…
A vaccum cleaner?
A bin with small individual bins inside of it so that all the toys can be arranged my size color and genre. Another bin the same way so that all books can be arranged by genre, size, and in alphabetical order!
Get her something practical – like a nice set of Craftsman tools or a big screen TV. A gift certificate for your spouse shows that you really care. I have given a vacuum before, but it was a really … really … really nice one :O
Get her this.
Ed,A top of the line, primo vaccum cleaner would be nice, right? Either that or a big screen.
Jon,You know her too well, bro.Greg,I already have one. (Just kidding)How come no women have commented on this post?
A subscription to Maxim?
You sort of touched on this in your original post, but a bad gift would be a workout video. I remember shopping with my dad one year, and he actually bought one for my mom. Turns out he didn’t really do his research because it was a workout video for pregnant women! Mom was way past those years.
Jason,This post grabbed my attention. My vote for worst gift to give a pregnant wife: anything having to do with Weight Watchers. Or Starbucks if she’s avoiding caffeine. 🙂 Now I’m curious as to what you did give Sunny?It was great meeting you both at College Hills.
