[quote=Anonymous]We've been married about 25 years and I still really appreciate and love my DH.  He's not very good at giving gifts, he's usually last minute and is doesn't really think about what he's buying.  In the lead up to Christmas this year, he asked me about a book light.  I told him I had 2 booklights next to my bed (they're clipped to the lamp) that my mom gave me and I don't like them.  I don't like the concentrated beam of light and since I mostly read on a Kindle, I don't need a book light.

Guess what he got me for Christmas?

A book light.  I posted about it on a DCUM Worst Presents Thread.  An astute poster noted that he'd probably me another one next Christmas since I had 3 of them......she's probably right.  I normally would have just thanked him and returned it but I guess it was pretty obvious when I opened the gift that it missed the mark.  I actually would rather not have gotten anything than something I said I didn't want.  It just reinforces how much he didn't listen, that it was about him and not me.  But, DH really is a good guy so I move on.  [/quote]
