I absolutely don’t know why he buought me this beckoning, ugly, cheap plastic cat. I have cats, yes, but… is there anything wrong with me preferring living, furry cats? I don’t like useless knickknacks in my room. He told me it will bring good luck to me. Thank you, but this gift will bring luck to the trash can at most. -Annie</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17372436655http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17372436655Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:02:05 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxejswbGwt1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This Hard Leather Aries coin purse was a gift from my sister. Sure I’m an Aries, but who would ever use this thing? I put it in a yard sale for a quarter and it didn’t even sell for that small amount.</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17319038946http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17319038946Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:02:05 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lygsavZQrx1qd0gbyo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Wow! I can’t believe my grandmother bought me this! I haven’t seen one of these since Jr High! She obviously doesn’t know me at all! I guess it’s not as bad as my fur vest I got last year for my birthday! lol -Jalene</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17264825025http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17264825025Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:02:05 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lynagmkUim1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My husbands grandmother gave us waffle mix for Christmas. It was wrapped up very nicely and she was overly excited about us opening it. She has also given us 3 waffle makers in the past.  -S.J.</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17210486362http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17210486362Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:05:06 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyoer9OSsX1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Can anyone please tell me what this even is? My brother and his wife gave me this a couple birthdays ago. What you can’t see in the picture is it is attached to a big metal loop with a suction cup at the top. Don’t know if that makes it more confusing in identifying what it is or not….probably more confusing…. -Renee</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17154273078http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/17154273078Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:02:06 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyf9rmgypa1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I received this gem from my boyfriend’s mom (we’ve been together 5 years) as a christmas gift a few years ago. She has always been a terrible gift giver, at first I thought she hated me but I’ve come to realize that she genuinely thinks the things she buys for us are great. Luckily she wasn’t here when I opened this lil 6”x6” shadow box because I actually wanted to cry. I know that seems dramatic but I knew I would have to hang this in my kitchen (I have a wine theme she thought this would match, it does not). I guess it’s better then a shirt i already owned (she’d seen me wear it repeatedly) and a movie I also already owned (that we had watched together lol). Since then she bought me a painting made of the stuff they make tin roofs out of and kitchen towels. I must keep reminding myself she means well. At least I hope so :-/</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16920772685http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16920772685Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:00:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lybdvi6S0o1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This was my belated birthday present from my aunt. My birthday was 6months ago and this candle has obviously been used. At least it smells like melons :l -<a href="http://narutoluver88.tumblr.com/">narutoluver88</a></p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16864731980http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16864731980Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:00:05 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyl817FQFx1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“The Turdinator” — my father-in-law showed up at the door today, out of the blue, very excited to provide me with this gift. He got his daughter one too, part of a series of poop-inspired figurines … her is called “Little Shit”. These are, yes, indeed, comical figures based upon lumps of stylized poo … each comes with it’s own ‘log book’. He apparently found them on sale at a discount warehouse nearby, and just had to buy them for us. Um, I really don’t know what to say … -Kevin</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16819302517http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16819302517Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:00:05 -0500<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx6kjuvRx41qctkcl.jpg"/><br/><br/></p> <p>My good friend bought me this for Christmas. What am I supposed to do with a such a tiny mug? She has always been a horrible gift-giver…. -Kathleen</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16760886062http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16760886062Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:00:06 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxt1fjtSpn1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My husband and I were married last year in India, and received this as a gift. It is white plastic with fake “ruby” accents. It looks like Dr. Who marries Slutty Transsexual Jesus. I must say it was a good gift though, as it made my usually too-serious husband laugh for about 30 minutes straight.  </p> <p>Disclaimer: There is absolutely nothing wrong with Dr. Who, sluts, transsexuals, or Jesus. It’s just that none of these represent us well as an Asian, monogamous, cisgender Hindu couple. -Iora</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16578922087http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16578922087Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:02:06 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwfdoGYiE1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A lovely dollar store notepad cutsomized with the letter J.

I am 100% all for charity donations for gifts, I think they’re wonderful. My aunt and uncle, however, instead of making donations to any one of the many charities I am passionate about (and it is no secret that I’m passionate about them, my whole family knows) have decided to make all of the donations to a charity supporting their church in New York. Not only do I not live anywhere near New York, but I’m not even Christian. Come on? If you’re going to make a donation in someone’s name as a gift, try to at least make it meaningful to that person. -Diana</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16408460907http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16408460907Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:07:06 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly4eb427451qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I got this from my Gram for Christmas. I am a 17 not 40, and I have no interest in decorating.  What am I going to do with this? She said she got it because she couldn’t think of anything else to get me. I would have gladly taken cash. -<a href="http://itsfuckingfelix.tumblr.com/">itsfuckingfelix</a></p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16349636922http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16349636922Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:03:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxi1kyjxG71qd0gbyo1_r1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My husband stopped by my grandparents’ house on his way home from work one day to help my grandfather move some furniture.  To thank him for his help my grandfather gave him this rather perky looking cup.  Jennifer</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16171748329http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16171748329Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:03:06 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkfliQYyX1qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Got this as a souvenir from one of my parents’ many trips to Jamaica. They’re both actually the same doll; it’s reversible. Aside from the creepy factor of an upside down torso under that lovely dress they’re not so bad, until you realize that neither of them is wearing a top (which took me about a year), and without one it kind of looks like their heads have been screwed on backwards. -Erica</p>http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16124713820http://whydidyoubuymethat.com/post/16124713820Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:03:05 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxllm3kcQ01qd0gbyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My boyfriend’s nickname translates to frog.
