He also looves cats so he’s got cat calendars, a stuffed Toothless dragon, ..I’m not sure what else, but I’m sure it’s special. He had a xmas tree for xmas and then got into the decorations so decorated for valentine’s day...apparently his coworkers th ought that was weird.

Right, that's expensive stuff that isn't fun to buy. With 3 kids, I go through a bottle of detergent a week. I find that 80 loads comment written on the side of the bottle very suspect.

And this was NICE crystal—Waterford, Stubens! Not cheap, the real, singing when you flick it deal. They were just HUGE bowls—I don’t know what you’d keep in them, and super expensive and breakable.

OOOOO!!! Paint a star wars scene on it like that one guy!

This should be a website. Trading unwanted wedding gifts.

If they’re your best friends, they should understand. Give them a card with a nice note for the wedding, then if you still feel like you should and can afford it, give them something for their first anniversary.

My aunt actually said this to me. “Your wedding or bridal shower is a time to get things that are special and you would not normally buy for yourself.” This didn’t work out and I mostly got practical, inexpensive things, which was still very cool and appreciated as I’d just moved internationally. I’ve been told most…

YES. The secret society is real. We need an ice cream and a barbecue where we can all bitch.

I hear you. I so hear you. Most of the time I think I’m being crazy. That everyone’s parents are like my mom. Then I say something out loud and my friends’ jaws drop to the ground.

OH MY GOD.

HAHA, I looked at this for like two straight minutes before I noticed the secret wolf

I've never herd a speech like this come out of the month of someone who isn't a lazy cheapskate that's trying to project their bullshit on someone else. It sucks to go out of your way for people and get jack all in return.

Fucking BOWLS. Years ago I worked at a place that sold China, Silver and Crystal (that was the name of the store) and ninety percent of our clientele were engaged couples. They’d come in all dubious about whether they should register and I’d show them the crystal monstrosities shelf and say “You want these? Don’t…

That print is both awesome and sooo bad. It looks like something my husband would loooove. He’s not from the US, so native American arts are especially interesting to him....which means he wants to buy all these paintings of native americans With wolves. I convinced him that he should put them in his work office....I…

Some people don’t give you what you’d want, but rather what they think you should want.

She literally gave you a hungry wolf gazing down at your marriage???

It’s cool - I’m just mad at myself for sounding like SUCH A BUTTHOLE. Because it’s not me. We had a shit year leading up to our wedding with my husband’s dad being terminally ill. We were going to cancel the wedding and just have a “party” at some point, but his dad insisted we not. And seeing this post brought that…

Yea and really I sound like an ASS in my original post. my first thought was that “friend” who gave me shit for not hanging out with him, then when I DID the night after we got back from our “mini-moon”, he basically ignored my husband, then 3 weeks later emailed my sister saying “I need to get your sister a wedding…

Your first clue that she was going to be a nasty bitch about not getting a gift was that she dressed y’all in Versace and D&G. She sounds tacky as hell.

Had to be done because that shit just looks WRONG
