Husband “Gifts” Vacuum Cleaner for Wife’s 50th Birthday Prompting Commenters Present 15 Appropriate Comeback Revenge Gifts

Nothing can dismantle the magic of a birthday like a Magiclean3000 vacuum cleaner presented as a present. Men aren't exactly known for their outstanding ability to be considerate and thoughtful in gift-giving, but the distance between an actual thoughtful gift—charmingly wrapped up with the soft motor skills of a 3-year-old—and a backhanded "here's-some-more-work-for-ya woman" type gift is pretty far.  

It's one thing to miss the mark with a gift; it's another to hand over something functional and act like you've nailed it. Imagine hubby waking up to a toolbox on his birthday, stocked with nails, a hammer, and a sticky note that reads: "Me and the shelves you promised hanging appreciate you greatly." Spoiler: He'd suddenly understand the difference between a heartfelt gesture and a passive-aggressive punchline.  

So why not lean into it? If he loves gifting chores, return the favor. For his next birthday, surprise him with a lawn mower and a card that says, "Your grass, your problem." Or go all-out with a bulk pack of lightbulbs labeled, "For all the ideas you'll never have." And if you really want to send a message, wrap up a ladder with a bow and a note: "For climbing out of the doghouse after this gift."
