" \n&amp;quot;Last year, my boyfriend of three years got a fancy new iPod for himself\u2014and gave me his old and busted one. He didn&amp;#039;t even wrap it.&amp;quot; \u2014Ali, 23 &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a surfer, so I&amp;#039;m used to getting a lot of beach-themed presents\u2014but my last boyfriend took the laid-back vibe too far and gave me one of those free bumper stickers that you get from a surf shop. I repeat: free. Oh, and he&amp;#039;d spent the whole week before Christmas building up his gift, telling me just how much I was going to love it.&amp;quot; \u2014Liz, 28  &amp;quot;My boyfriend lived across the country, so he came to visit me on the day after Christmas until New Year&amp;#039;s. When he arrived, we went out to a really romantic dinner to exchange gifts, and he gave me\u2026a shotglass. It was one of those cheesy &amp;#039;I [heart] NY&amp;#039; shooters\u2014and I live in Los Angeles. When he saw the horrified look on my face, he told me that he&amp;#039;d forgotten to get me a present in the midst of all the trip planning, so he&amp;#039;d picked it up at the airport gift shop.&amp;quot; \u2014Abby, 24   &amp;quot;My ex-boyfriend gave me one of the sweatshirts that he had made for the people in his charity group. It was a size XL (I&amp;#039;m a small), and it was bright leprechaun green\u2014not my color at all. I gave it to Goodwill the second we broke up.&amp;quot; \u2014Courtney, 26  &amp;quot;For our first Christmas together, my boyfriend gave me these ugly flannel pajamas that looked so old lady-ish. They were off-white with an antique flower pattern, and had a lace trim. Even worse, he told me he gave the same ones to his grandmother!&amp;quot; \u2014Melissa, 36 &amp;quot;Last year, my husband of four years gave me a Snuggie. Not exactly the beautiful pearl necklace I was hoping for.&amp;quot; \u2014Judy, 29   &amp;quot;I got a freaking hair dryer from my boyfriend of two years. He told me it was so I could keep one at the gym\u2014which I already do.&amp;quot; \u2014Brittany, 25 &amp;quot;I have a whole collection of vintage T-shirts, including one with a cool, old-school cartoon unicorn on it. My boyfriend took note of the cartoon part, and bought me a cowgirl Minnie Mouse tee that was so tacky, it looked like something you&amp;#039;d win at a state fair. I only ever wore it around the house.&amp;quot; \u2014Virginia, 30 &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d been dating this guy for a few months, and he gave me a waffle iron for Christmas. It would&amp;#039;ve been cute if I were into cooking, but my idea of making breakfast is pouring cereal into a bowl\u2026so I was kind of like, &amp;#039;Is he trying to tell me something?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; \u2014Meggie, 21 &amp;quot;My boyfriend of three years gave me a hideous neon green plastic choker necklace that had a huge hot pink flower in the center\u2014it was like a throwback to the sixth grade. I opened it and wanted to scream, &amp;#039;What the hell were you thinking?&amp;#039; The worst part is that a few weeks later, he asked why I hadn&amp;#039;t worn the necklace yet. I told him the flower hung weird around my neck, which seemed to satisfy him.&amp;quot; \u2014Jessie, 30 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
