  I merely mentioned I wanted a Scrub Daddy after watching Shark Tank one day. I bought him an iPad for his birthday several months before. I got a Scrub Daddy.

  I told my ex of 2 years I wanted UGG slippers for Christmas. He bought me the kind you can buy at a drug store and said, 'These are pretty much the same thing, but so much cheaper!' They weren't even my size. 

• Dinner

  I was dating my ex for 8 months. We were going on a date the night before we both went home for Christmas. I showed up with a cashmere sweater for him to open. He got me nothing but said 'I am going to pay for dinner tonight. It will be your Christmas present!' How thoughtful.'

• A Parking Ticket

  I got a $60 parking ticket when I borrowed my ex-boyfriend's car. He paid it and said we could be 'even' for my birthday present. Can't say it was one of my worst gifts when there wasn't a gift at all!

  A spa gift card for $100 that was filled out and dated two years before we even met.

  On Valentine's Day, my ex-husband mixed up the cards and accidentally gave me one that was intended for his mistress he swore was 'just a colleague.' I filed for divorce that week.

  My boyfriend of six months told me he wanted a PlayStation for Christmas and I told him I wanted a new purse. He got the PlayStation. I got a waffle maker. Then I found out he won said waffle maker from a raffle his company had.

  I got baseball tickets for my birthday. I don't like baseball. What's worse is I wasn't even going to be in town for the game so my ex ended up going with his best friend. 

• Deoderant

  My boyfriend and I were born a week apart. He was hinting around about a new watch, which I bought him. He gave me a grocery store paper bag that contained a coffee mug, a small teddy bear, and a stick of deodorant so I would stop using his when I stayed at his apartment. 

• A Vegetable Chopper

  My ex and our families got together to celebrate my 30th. The first gift I opened was from his mom and was a sterling silver necklace. My boyfriend handed me his gift. It was a vegetable chopper I saw on an infomercial once. His mom, clearly mortified, handed over another jewelry box with a pair of earrings that matched the necklace she gave me. She obviously bought the set for me but saw that her son had only given me a kitchen gadget and told me the earrings were from him. He was very confused.

• A PS4. I hate video games.

  I've never been into video games but told my ex I would try them out since we were going to be in quarantine for God knows how long. For my birthday he ordered a new PS4 video game so we could 'play together.' I am now quarantined by myself. 

• His Hulu Login Details

  I gave my ex a card and some candy for our first Valentine's Day. Nothing crazy. He said he forgot a card for my gift and ran to the store. I opened the card and it said he was 'treating' me to a Hulu subscription because I wanted to start watching Handmaid's Tale. I logged on and he had gotten it for himself a month before and just gave me his login credentials. OH! Then he added in a 'voucher' good for one 30 minute back massage. 

• Venmo'd me money with a memo that said ‘Buy whatever you want!’

  I was under the impression my ex and I would be exchanging gifts for Christmas. I got him a pair of AirPods along with some other sentimental things and he had nothing for me to open. When I left in the morning he Venmo'd me $300 with a memo that said 'Buy whatever you want!'

  My ex-boyfriend straight up told me to get him a pair of $390 polarized Oakley sunglasses for Christmas because he would be needing them when he started taking flying lessons. $350, especially right out of college way more than I wanted to spend, but I wanted to make him happy. He got me some lottery tickets and a $50 Starbucks gift card because he 'wasn't sure what to get me.' Not a winner.

• A Gun

  He bought me a gun so we could go shooting together (his favorite hobby). I don't like guns. We broke up and he kept the gun.
