Hmmm - I can't think of anything specific. My husband gave me a gold bangle for valentines day last year which was a huge upgrade on the handheld vacuum cleaner he gave me for valentines day the year before. (He thought it was romantic as I wouldn't have to sweep so much) I'm still scratching my head over that one!

I have a bunch of gaudy (and quite ugly) cosmetic jewellry that my mother-in-law gives me each birthday. Always appreciated but not necessarily the best gifts (I mean, if she doesn't know by now that I don't wear cosmetic jewellry, I guess she never will).

The worst gift I have given is probably a CD I gave to my husband years ago. I didn't listen properly in a conversation we had about a particular song that was on this CD and I thought he liked the CD, not just one song. He has never even opened it (and I had it imported)
