Men & Women: Please don't put that in my Christmas Sock

[Green Tea]

Did she know what it was or was it one of those deals where they have it labeled "stress reliever" or "massager" or something

Oh, it *said* massager. She said thought it would be good for him I'm really not sure exactly how she thought that would be good for him. She was very excited an proud of that part of his gift.

Cheap chocolate and fruit go in the trash.

I love getting panties but DH got me some two years ago that were 3 sizes too big and I almost cried on Christmas morning! He really thought my rear was that big. What a depressing way to start Christmas. He never made that mistake again!

MIL got me light up tweezers last year. I wondered if it was a hint... It's actualy still sitting in the Christmas bag I dumped all the stuff into last year.

Various lotions and body products are donated. I don't need anymore bath and body works products or generic bottles of foot lotion.

It doesn't make it any better but I think I know the thought behind this one. They really do not realize that these things stretch. No, I am not kidding. Undies and socks, can't tell you how many times DH swears they cannot be mine. Can't tell you how many times I ask him to bring laundry upstairs or something and then two days later one of my kids is wearing my socks because he couldn't believe that those were my socks and not the kids. I don't pretend to understand it, I just know what happens at my house

Green Tea, I have to say that your post had me. this morning.


Since I don't know your wonderful MIL do you think she did not know what it was she was giving to your dh?

Ummmm, eeewww!!! Ok, so it's a useful gift but who wants to be thinking of their mom/mil when using it. That image would be forever seared into my brain. NOWAY could I use it!!!!

 

[Green Tea]

Oh yea, it is seared in my mind too. I was nearly blinded from shock when he opened it and held it up for me to see. That woman is nuts.

I don't know what size pants you wear, but maybe he checked those for size?

PSA to ALL MEN: A size 9 pants DOES NOT wear a size 9 undies!

Dear MIL, please do not give my husband a portable vibrator in his stocking again.


I hate to leave that hanging out there, but honestly, what more can I say. It left both dh and I speechless. With dh, that isn't saying a lot. WIth me- well, it takes quite an 'electrifying' gift to leave me speechless.

One of the best things about getting older is that now I can get my mom her own stocking so she's not a stockingless Mom.

 

[RichNKatHolly]

This will be my second single (as in not married) lady Christmas so most likely there will be no stocking (BF doesn't seem to do them). I do always get stocking stuffers for my mom though - otherwise she'd have an empty one too.

Worst ever - one year my DH gave me Preparation H!! I never mentioned needing it and I'm not sure he knew what it was. He ran out to CVS at like 1am on Christmas Eve to "shop".

Oh and for Christmas gifts - we had this one aunt that would give us those Chia pets and the freebie shoprite calendars but all the coupons were cut out.

Wow! I would say you have Green Tea beat if the "massager" hadn't come from her MIL!

LOL - Yes, Green Tea wins on that one. Having something like that come from MIL would ruin all "massagers" for me!!!

Green Tea I would be tempted to regift it back to MIL. Tell her it was such a thoughtful gift you thought she should have one.
I'll be laughing about this all day.

Heck, maybe I should. It might make her nicer. She needs something

 

[fabshelly]

If anyone else gets a vibrator from MIL, just smile hugely, grab hubby, and yell "We'll be back in a half hour!" as you run for the nearest lockable door. I dare ya.

I get the Estee Lauder and Aramis with freebies, stuff the bottom part of M&D's stocking with that, then put a nice bottle of wine in for the body and top. It's been a hit for years. Sometimes I use another spirit.

We got our toothbrushes, floss etc. in our stockings, along with candy (mixed message, ne?) and small toys. Mom will slip me a few bucks or a small present so I can get something for my stocking. (We always do Christmas at my parents' house, and I'm the Designated Stockinger).

I love this thread!

The coolest thing I've ever gotten in my stocking was a bra when I was nine and still believed in Santa. I couldn't figure out how he knew I needed a bra.

My mom was the BEST stocking stuffer-er. She got me the coolest things. Many times I got jewelry. I miss my mom for many reasons and her stockings are just one of them. I just hope I'm as good at doing stockings for my children as she was for me.

Now, about my mother-in-law.

She gets a stocking for each of her sons and DIL. In my stocking EVERY year I have:

An orange
A small tube of Avon hand lotion (ETA: that burns like h-e-double hockey sticks on my chapped hands)
A generic tube of lip balm
A candy cane

She also gives every DIL the EXACT same gifts. So, if one of us opens a gift before the other, then we already know what we're getting.
