Ugly toffa's

So what if you think your hubby/bf/to be person gives you ugly gifts? But you know he puts in lots of effort and makes them all meaningful.

Do you continue to take them or tell him one day that you don’t like his choice.

I know someone who has a “all the ugly things my bf gave me box.” :hehe:

Re: Ugly toffa's

LOL well, how you are going to tell them really depends on the kind of understanding you have with them. Still, I wouldn't want to tell my woman that the stuff she gets me is ugly. A somewhat subtle way could be to hand them a wishlist and have them give you one too so that you both get something that you actually want to have and find useful and such.

Re: Ugly toffa's

well i think you should take them shopping.Show things that you like.Talking and getting to know someone really helps, i think.

Re: Ugly toffa’s

LOL! That’s awesome!

I’d think that if he knew me well enough, he would know what I’d like. But if he’s too thick to figure that out then I’d just give him a wish list or tell him that I really love giftcards :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Ugly toffa's

Its tohfa not toffa.

Re: Ugly toffa's

^ We're not typing Urdu here bumbrains. Toffa, tohfa, tofha, same difference. Its all about how you pronounce it.

Re: Ugly toffa’s

Is that someone YOU??
Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Also I always keep ugly presents if they’re from speshul people who are close to me. If they’re from random people then I um…keep them somewhere where I’ll never look at it again.

Re: Ugly toffa's

Go shopping with him/her & make sure you point out to all the stuff you find ugly as well as the stuff you like.

Re: Ugly toffa’s

My baniya is terrible when it comes to gift shopping…and he knows it..lol! There have been a few times he’s hit the nail on the head (canvas portrait of the boys/Michael Kors laptop bag) but more often than not, it’s a miss. I have a fugly embroidered suede jacket he proudly brought home from the mall one year..OMG it’s hideous…and still hanging in the hall closet…sigh…

After more than a decade together here’s what I do…email him a link of what I want about 2 months before the occasion…and then when it arrives in the mail or shows up on the kitchen table…“OMG…I love it!!! How did you know???”

Works for us :chai:

Re: Ugly toffa's

aww. no tellin them is a better idea.

Re: Ugly toffa's

just misplace them..........

Re: Ugly toffa’s

aisee na shukri khawateen k leyee hee Gift-Card invent howa hai but again that has its own issue like “oh he does not put effort into buying my gifts and just buy me a GG” :rolleyes:

:chai:

Re: Ugly toffa’s

Maybe its her taste thats ugly.

Re: Ugly toffa’s

I wouldn’t want to hurt his feelings so there is no way in hell I’d ever let him know how I actually felt about it. Also, since I’m such a senti (:halo:) I can’t misplace it or get rid of it either. But fortunately for me, he as awesome taste and knows exactly what I like and don’t like. Hopefully, it stays that way when we’re married.

Re: Ugly toffa's

LOL that's exactly what I told her.

Ya I agree though, you should appreciate whatever gift you get, even more so when he put in such effort. For me personally, I'd rather have him surprise me because even if it's "ugly" I would love it BECAUSE it was a surprise from HIM. But if he asked for an opinion and I know there is something better out there than I may not like it as much. Donno if that makes any sense.

Re: Ugly toffa's

Would I say on his face, hey I don't like this. Probably never.

How ugly could it possibly be?

Re: Ugly toffa's

Interesting. People should buy their SOs some fugly stuff on purpose, to determine whether their spouse loved their previous gifts or not.

Re: Ugly toffa's

nything i s special u get form ur lover ..

Re: Ugly toffa’s

tell him politely otherwise he will keep giving these kinda tohfas …thinking u acutally like his gifts!:smack:

Re: Ugly toffa's

Take him on loads of shopping trips...

I don't do it on purpose but my SO (like a lot of guys) picks up on this stuff anyway so even when I just make a comment about something I like he seems to makes a mental note of it and a few weeks down the line I'll find he's gone and bought it :D
