best/worst anniversary present
Me and my hubby were just talking about this. What sad lives we lead!!
The best present he gave me was an Arsenal shirt (he's supports Liverpool and hates Arsenal)
The worst was a china dinner/tea set. It was very expensive, but, A DINNER SET!!!!!!!
The story was that he asked his best friends missus what he should get me and she's really into that sort of thing, but I'm not.
This year he's getting an Everton shirt!!!

A sellotape dispenser. Can you believe that? No sellotape even!

I must confess to having done the classic.
It was sometime in the late 80s - we'd been married around 12 or 13 years.
I arrived home, late, tired and just wanting a drink and a bath. My wife greeted me looking like a million dollars, she ran upstairs and ran me a bath, she brought me a drink in the bath, I got out, stuck on my old dressing gown and shambled downstairs. The table was laid with all the best stuff, candlesticks the lot. A wonderful steak, perfectly cooked was put in front of me.
'What's all this for?' I asked.
"Haven't you guessed yet?"
I thought long and hard. I kept thinking. Didn't get anywhere near. She gave me my card and present and I got it.
Did I want the ground to open up or what?
I realised that I had become obsessed with my work, the kids etc etc.
She just laughed and said that if I ever did it again she'd kill me. I've never forgotten! And that's why I love her!

well it was a birthday rather than an anniversary. I was 19, going away to University in 6 months' time. My boyfriend bought me an iron. An iron?

The worst anniversary present (in fact the ONLY anniversary present) I've ever received is, to wake up on the appointed day to be told that I am in fact, still married.

A buddy of mine once woke up to be told he was married. He remembered nothing about it. They'd gotten drunk and wandered into one of those wedding chapels in Vegas. He was really pissed off.
He ended it in style when she said, "If you get one more tatto I'm divorcing you." Without a word, he walked straight out of the house and came back a few hours later with a full arm job (preferable to a hand job, you understand), with the words, "Is that good enough for you?"
It was.
