Beware of the Doghouse + $100 JCP Gift Card Giveaway - CLOSED

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
2) Follow @melindajoy926 and tweet this giveaway and leave me the twitter comment link
"$100 JCP GC Giveaway @melindajoy926 + "(Insert Link Here)"
3) Follow my blog (google reader, blogger, facebook), and leave a comment telling me you did so
4) Email 5 friends about this giveaway and let me know you did this
5) Subscribe to my blog via email, and leave a comment with your subscribed email address
6) Grab my button and leave me a link to your page
7) Blog about this giveaway and leave me the link to the post

Open to US only

Deadline: December 22nd at noon EST, just in time for Post Holiday Sales!!!

JCPenney supplied the giftcard for promotional use

  2. 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?

  10. 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.
    Thanks so much for this great giveaway and Happy Holidays.

  16. 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!

I always check my nose in the mirror and I'll have you no that my nose didn't need a trim ;) Yes, a male bought the gift, lol.

  27. I don't think I've ever given a gift that has put me in the doghouse, however, my husband has been there! One year he gave me a skillet. Ummmm, yeah. That's not a Christmas present...and I let him know it.

    This 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!

  37. I think the worst thing I've done is spend more on my husband than was agreed upon (like way more).

    But I have to share that my dad has a tendency to buy my mom ridiculous gifts that he thinks she will love. Snow blower or lawn mower anyone?

  47. Well... 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 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...

  119. 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]!)

    ReplyDelete
  131. So far, I have been fortunate enough not to be in the doghouse. My husband, on the other hand, has! One year, he gave me nothing. Nada. Not one item. I was so mad.

    This year we are not exchanging gifts, but we have planned this as we cannot afford to give each other anything of monetary value.

    If I was lucky enough to win, I would get us something we could enjoy together.

    Thank you for the chance!

  148. A clothes line. Not just some rope, but pulleys and coated wire an that thing to keep the lines together without getting tangled. Practical yes, a winner no.

  154. I can't think of a gift that I gave that completely bombed but I can remember a card I 'made' my mother for mothers day...

    I say made because I folded a piece of paper in half and that was the whole card-I thought it was genius because it symbolized the fact that no words could explain how much I loved and appreciated her, which I told her when I presented my genius present all teary eyed and everything.

    Well she looked at me like I had gone nuts and said very nicely, 'Uh. Thank....you?' LOL

  169. I accidentally confused two of my nieces and bought my really tomboy-ish niece a pink barbie princess! I usually work hard to get good gifts, so she was really disappointed!

  171. I think I give great gifts because I make an effort to gift what I know people will need and use. But one of my DILs is always in the doghouse with her gift selections! One year she gave me a pair of PJs that weren't even close to my size. My granddaughter needed PJs so I shared them with her.

  172. My husband got put in the dog house on our first married Valentines day. He came home very late with a small pillow, and a flashlight. And the receipt--from the grocery store. Maybe next time he can use this gift card from JCP!

  177. Well, my sisters always "borrowed" (more like stole) my clothes, my hair straightener, my makeup, etc. when I still lived at home before I got married. So, last Christmas I bought them each a nice hair straightener, only to find out that they don't even use them. I give up :/

  180. One gift that put me in the doghouse:

    One year I gave my sister a vintage suede cowboy vest with matted up faux fur lining. She was big into country music at the time and I naively thought she would love it. She didn't and had never let me forget it.

    OOOps!

  181. My cousin loves Mickey Mouse, so I found this shirt on sale that had Mickey on it to add as a stocking stuffer. After she put it on, did we realize that it was a maternity shirt.
