If you don't like the gifts that you receive from your boyfriend or husband, give him a few suggestions. When you pass a store or get a catalog and see something that you like, point it out and tell him. I am lucky that my bf gives good gifts, like a trip to the Bahamas.
My sister gave me my worst gift, and she still feels bad about it. She gave me a bagel cutter which was essentially a big block of wood with a hole in it. The problem is the opening was only big enough for tiny Lenders bagels. Her bf at the time laughed at her. "You couldn't spring for some bagels." It was funny, and I still have it. I actually didn't mind it at all.
