Have you ever been given a gift and been surprised by what was inside? Was it unexpected? Have you ever not been able to decide on a gift, and you end up getting something that someone doesn’t like? JCPenney made it easy on all of us women with their brand new website Beware of The Doghouse. The Beware of The Doghouse website allows women to put their significant other in the “doghouse” for bad gift choices.
My husband has had his fair share of hits and misses with gift giving, but it's the thought that counts, right? I once got a life size blow up photo of my ex boyfriend and I as a gift. What on Earth was I supposed to do with that? My mom suggested using it as a dartboard haha.
JCPenney has provided me with one $100 gift card to help keep you out someone out of the doghouse.
Follow These Rules To Enter:
1) Tell me the one gift that put you in the doghouse

Several years ago, I got my mom this really awesome sweater that I thought she would love. I took time to wrap it and everything. On Christmas morning she opened it, looked at the tag, and then informed me it was a maternity sweater. I felt horrible, but we did get a good laugh. It has taught me to always check which dept. I am shopping in. It was a great thought, and that is what really counts. Right?

One gift that put me in the doghouse, was a goody basket I made up for my niece who was away at college. It contained deodorants, toothpastes, and a bunch of other health care products. She wasn't thrilled with the basket at all and took it as an insult. I later spoke to her and explained that I thought that she would have enjoyed this gift. Oh well, she only get small cash gifts from me now.

The one gift that put me in the dog house were crochet pot holders that I made by hand. I was living with a boyfriend at the time, and we had NO money, so I made these for everyone. They were not too happy - sad but true!

ReplyDeleteThis year I mentioned that I wanted a Crock-Pot (it's kind of expensive) and he FLAT OUT REFUSES to purchase anything that goes in the kitchen, made for cooking, etc. for a Christmas gift. LOL I must have left an impression...and no, I didn't hit him with the skillet, but I wanted too!

ReplyDeleteWell... I don't think I have given a gift that has ever put me in the doghouse... but my husband on the other hand... Went on a work trip to Cleveland Ohio for a week and he always brings me a gift when he goes on trips... but he didn't get to leave the conference center much, so he did the best he could I guess. He brought me - a postcard, a coffee cup (I don't drink coffee) and a tshirt that was too small... He thought he did good, but I wasn't very happy.

I gave my stepfather a neat little windshield scraper that heated up by plugging it into the lighter/power adapter of the car. I did not notice that it had a very short cord and didn't reach to the outside of the car. Cool idea, bad implementation.

For my 15th wedding anniversay I received a lovely diamond ring and I "generously" gave my husband a musical card.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I have given terrible gifts before - who hasn't? - but none come to mind at the moment. I have gotten a number of terrible gifts, usually from people who have no idea what I want or need and instead of just getting me a gift card or food or something universally loved, they get me an XXL sweatshirt with kittens printed on it (SOOOO not me and way too big) or a set of ceramic dining accessories (salt & pepper, napkin holder, etc.) featuring snowmen in bathing suits and sunglasses. Um...

Ohmygoodness, the good ole' doghouse was my hangout when I gave my mom a day of house cleaning. I thought she'd appreciate it, but she took it as an insult. Won't be gifting that ever again!
ReplyDeleteThe closest I have come is that I have given my nephew the same picture books two years in a row, completely by accident. And I did that on two different occasions! So by now I'm sure they think I'm losing my mind. I keep very careful lists now.... ;-)

omg--my sister had gained weight and i bought her a really cute pair of pants that seemed really comfortable. but, i didn't realize they were maternity--she wanted to kill me and i wanted to die (of laughter, that is--i spent the rest of the holiday egging her on, asking her how many months she was!) as retribution, she gave me a 12 roll of toilet paper for my birthday (because, apparently, I'm full of it [her words]!)
