Gifts are a great way for lovers to show their appreciation for each other. Except if you are any of these assholes! Christmas, birthdays and Valentine's Day aren't ALL about presents, but sometimes giving nothing at all can be better than any of these awful gifts. We teamed up with The Single Society to share with you the worst gifts our readers have ever received from their ex.
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.'
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
