A couple of years ago my Sister in law and husband brought me:

1. An orange/brown tweed waistcoat (never worn a waistcoat)🤔

2. Purple and green Lycra cycling shorts (i don't have a bike) 🙄

3. A cow breeds calendar?? 😐 

NOT being ungrateful at all! - Any others?

Could have been worse could have bought ewe a sheep breeds calendar lol

Would've been OK Ish if i lived in the country but i live on the seafront in Eastbourne - No sheep/No cows - actually we did go on a very lovely holiday once to Ayrshire and visited a sheep sanctuary no less - a sheep breed calendar would've been a "slightly" better gift🙂

A few years back I bought the wife a second hand chainsaw from the car boot , she was a bit annoyed I think because I didn't wrap it up lol

Not a christmas gift but my Mother once bought me a bottle of clearasil spot lotion from the seaside , not very subtle my Mother.

Seriously there's just no point sometimes - i don't know your wife but to me she just appears to be a bit ungrateful, spoilt perhaps?😆

I brought the missus as an extra pressie the black and decker sanding kit / all in a nice case - about 15 years ago - still goes on about it every effing year 😡😡 she needs to move on and get over it 🤣😂🤣😂

Some yrs back my brother asked his wife , what would you like for Xmas " Surprise Me " she answered, so he bought her a brand new mop & bucket , took her a few months to forgive him lol 😆

Being a thoughtful boyfriend at the time, & remembering a time when she had a close call nearly running out of petrol, so one of the presents she received lovingly wrapped for Christmas in the 80's was a petrol can 😇, can't have put be in the bad books for too long as we have been married for 33yrs, but I am reminded about it at regular intervals, especially at this time of the year.🤣

I once as a joke bought my wife sanitary towels as a present 🎁  she never saw the funny side of it . And for my sons some Tena-men pants for their 30th birthday which I gave them to unwrap at the restaurant infront of friends and family.. 

Some people do not appreciate the thought that goes into presents like this..
