That sweet wife of mine thought I needed a pair of pull on boots for just going out to tend my dog or shovel the walk or whatever...she knows I like stuff from Schnees, so that’s what they are.

Gift exchanges when you work with mostly women can be interesting. One time I got a pair of ear muffs with little animal heads on them.

We all have some gag gifts, but what completely wrong gifts have you gotten from people who think they nailed it? I got a pair of electric socks once. Uh, I could use those, uh, for cold days on stand, you know.

I have a few friends who don't know anything about hunting and they try to give me hunting gear. First, I don't need any, and second since they know nothing about hunting it's not stuff that I'll ever use.
I appreciate the thought, but it's kind of comical. Right before a backpack sheep hunt, I received a big old fixed blade knife that weighed 2-3 lbs. Would've made Jim Bowie proud. . Yeah, and probably Chinese with a compass on the end of the handle. Mine had some nice fish hooks in the handle.

I'm 6'2" 230lbs.
No mom, I can't wear size XL.
Over the years I've amassed a pretty respectable wardrobe, too bad none of it fits.

I got a shotgun toilet plunger one year, with sound effects and all. I've had a roll of camo toilet paper someone gave me for several years, just never broke the wrapper.

My dingbat mother in law from h3ll gave me one of those gizmos you set on top of a piano to keep you in time while your playing-I think it's called a metronome or some such ridiculous thing. I don't play any instruments. None. Crazy old coot!

It was probably left over after getting rid of her piano 20 years ago. She needed room in her closet for a ceramic cat in a pilgrim outfit and something had to go.

Great plan is to give the girlfriend/wife a wish list of books you would like, to be shared with her family. Inexpensive but great gift and helps keep everyone happy. You can honestly say it was just what you wanted.

Would've made Jim Bowie proud. . bingo, you nailed it smokepole I've got em all broke of the habit now, but my dear wife and my dear mother used to try and buy me hunting gear. I know from when I used to hang out in the backpackin thread that you're a hard core hunter yourself smokepole so you get it. If it ain't exactly what I want (and most often that reads expensive, dang the bad luck) then I don't want it at all, feel bad about getting rid of it, so it's just in the way of all the gear I actually do use. Only person that can really get you hunting stuff is someone that hunts with you or like you. Hell even my dad used to try and finally figured out, just give me a few bucks and I'll put it towards what I want and tell everyone you got it for me.

That’s funny! hmmm you never know could be that the wife let something slip and she was just trying to give you something to keep time with in the boudoir (really doubt that's spelled right, for you non frenchman) oh and just kiddin gophergunner, but it is funny as hell you got one of those.
