"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\\n\"Last year, my boyfriend of three years got a fancy new iPod for himself\u2014and gave me his old and busted one. He didn't even wrap it.\" \u2014Ali, 23\n\n\"I'm a surfer, so I'm used to getting a lot of beach-themed presents\u2014but my last boyfriend took the laid-back vibe too far and gave me one of those free bumper stickers that you get from a surf shop. I repeat: free. Oh, and he'd spent the whole week before Christmas building up his gift, telling me just how much I was going to love it.\" \u2014Liz, 28 \"My boyfriend lived across the country, so he came to visit me on the day after Christmas until New Year's. When he arrived, we went out to a really romantic dinner to exchange gifts, and he gave me\u2026a shotglass. It was one of those cheesy 'I  NY' shooters\u2014and I live in Los Angeles. When he saw the horrified look on my face, he told me that he'd forgotten to get me a present in the midst of all the trip planning, so he'd picked it up at the airport gift shop.\" \u2014Abby, 24\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\"My ex-boyfriend gave me one of the sweatshirts that he had made for the people in his charity group. It was a size XL (I'm a small), and it was bright leprechaun green\u2014not my color at all. I gave it to Goodwill the second we broke up.\" \u2014Courtney, 26 \"For our first Christmas together, my boyfriend gave me these ugly flannel pajamas that looked so old lady-ish. They were off-white with an antique flower pattern, and had a lace trim. Even worse, he told me he gave the same ones to his grandmother!\" \u2014Melissa, 36\n\n\"Last year, my husband of four years gave me a Snuggie. Not exactly the beautiful pearl necklace I was hoping for.\" \u2014Judy, 29\"I got a freaking hair dryer from my boyfriend of two years.  He told me it was so I could keep one at the gym\u2014which I already do.\" \u2014Brittany, 25\"I have a whole collection of vintage T-shirts, including one with a cool, old-school cartoon unicorn on it. My boyfriend took note of the cartoon part, and bought me a cowgirl Minnie Mouse tee that was so tacky, it looked like something you'd win at a state fair. I only ever wore it around the house.\" \u2014Virginia, 30\"I'd been dating this guy for a few months, and he gave me a waffle iron for Christmas.  It would've been cute if I were into cooking, but my idea of making breakfast is pouring cereal into a bowl\u2026so I was kind of like, 'Is he trying to tell me something?'\" \u2014Meggie, 21\"My boyfriend of three years gave me a hideous neon green plastic choker necklace that had a huge hot pink flower in the center\u2014it was like a throwback to the sixth grade.  I opened it and wanted to scream, 'What the hell were you thinking?' The worst part is that a few weeks later, he asked why I hadn't worn the necklace yet. I told him the flower hung weird around my neck, which seemed to satisfy him.\"  \u2014Jessie, 30"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
