I&#8217;ve got a couple of examples. For our 20th wedding anniversary my husband bought me a toilet brush (admittedly it was one that I&#8217;d been seeking for a while, but really!).<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Many years ago I was in hospital (gallstones) and my get well gift was a massive book of 1001 recipe ideas, I tried not to take offence but once again&#8230;.really?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Would love to hear of anyone else&#8217;s gift fails. Lighthearted.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>One response to the post read: &#8216;When I was a teenager my dad forgot so he went to a petrol station and bought me a mini football and a copy of Q Magazine.\u00a0I didn&#8217;t mind but I pointed out that they actually also sell booze and chocolate in petrol stations.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Another said: &#8216;When I was pregnant with my first baby, a work colleague gave me three pull ups. They were in a pretty gift bag, just loose. She had a toddler at the time so I guess they were spare!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>A further poster appeared to have received such a slew of unusual gifts that she wrote her response in point form.<\/p>\n<p>The first gift they listed was &#8216;a cookbook with the words \u201cmeat feasts\u201d in the title when I had been vegetarian for over 10 years by that point&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The next gift they revealed was little better. The post revealed it was: &#8216;Tickets to a well known theme parks that has lots of rollercoasters and fast rides, when I had been suffering pain from a car crash for about two years by that point.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/20\/74726009-12445579-image-m-76_1693252136297.jpg\" height=\"84\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/20\/74726019-12445579-image-m-77_1693252147192.jpg\" height=\"78\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/20\/74726011-12445579-image-m-78_1693252158778.jpg\" height=\"271\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/20\/74726005-12445579-image-m-79_1693252174451.jpg\" height=\"83\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/25\/15\/74726033-12445579-image-a-141_1692974370863.jpg\" height=\"101\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/28\/20\/74726021-12445579-image-a-65_1693250246767.jpg\" height=\"64\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/25\/15\/74726027-12445579-image-a-144_1692974409758.jpg\" height=\"102\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/08\/74726023-12445579-image-m-2_1693293252102.jpg\" height=\"111\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/08\/74726007-12445579-image-m-3_1693293259668.jpg\" height=\"149\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/08\/74726001-12445579-Many_rushed_to_the_comments_with_their_own_toe_curling_presents_-m-4_1693293269149.jpg\" height=\"97\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Many rushed to the comments with their own toe curling presents including &#8216;anti-aging cream&#8217;, a book on &#8216;How To Be Happy&#8217; and &#8216;Frying pan&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>And the third present was equally thoughtless: &#8216;A dressing gown in a colour I am known for hating.
