We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the worst gift they've ever received from someone they were dating. Here are their devastating responses:
1.This...one-of-a-kind painting.
2."A rock he picked up on the walk to meet me. Not even a cute one. Just a regular rock."
4."He gave me a cheap, tacky necklace he stole from his mother. I know because I'd seen it in her house before."
5."Two months after having a C-section, my ex got me a toner belt. You know, the ones that wrap around your stomach and make your muscles contract. He excitedly handed it over CHRISTMAS DAY and couldn't understand why I was crying."
7."My boyfriend got me a leather gimp mask/hood that literally covered the entirety of the face. I had never expressed an interest in trying something like that. I opened it before shooting out for work at 7 a.m. I was so confused!"
10."One Christmas, the guy I had been dating for about 2.5 years got me a pair of Christmas crew socks (the kind they sell near the cash register at Duane Reade)."
14."For Christmas one year, my oh-so-loving husband gifted me a package of animal butt magnets. Eight magnets, just the backside?"
15."My boyfriend in 10th grade gave me a 10-pound bag of rice for Valentine's Day. He gave it to me early in the day and was like, 'I was kind of tired of carrying it around.' I donated it to the local food bank and we broke up soon after."
18."The first season of King of the Hill on DVD. I’m not sure why. We never talked about King of the Hill and I didn’t own a DVD player..."
19."After confessing to me that he'd been talking to another girl, my ex gave me a bag of peppermints that had been in his truck all day and were melted together."
21."My high school boyfriend gave me his dead dog’s old stuffed animal for my 15th birthday. And he INSISTED that he bought it at Target, even though it had chew marks on it and its left eye was missing. We broke up shortly after."
